Misty Mornings

Hello Family,

 

How are you doing?

 

This Tuesday we had a very busy day. It was nice because we were able to rush from appointment to appointment. The best part was that at each appointment we were able to have quality lessons that really helped our investigators understand gospel principles that they were struggling with. At one of these appointments, we were privleged to meet a woman name Renata who was referred to us by her member friends, The Smith's. Throughout the whole appointment Elder Williams and I did not speak a lot, instead the Smith's talked about how the gospel has blessed their lives and the lives of their families and Renata talked to us about how she has been searching for the gospel message throughout her life. It was a humbling experience because I realized that we were at the lesson to help the Smith's share the gospel with Renata. We are only a minor part in the conversion process as the member's will stay in McKinleyville to fellowship our new investigators after they have been baptized. We are really blessed to be able to help Natasha learn about the Gospel and how it can help her family.

 

Elder Williams is an excellent missionary. There was a time this week where he was feeling terrible with a headache and an upset stomach. Even though he wasn't feeling very well near the end of the day he said that we should keep going and continuing to work. I was feeling fine, but because it was near the end of the day, I am sure that there was temptation for him to say "Let's go home a little early tonight to rest". I think that he is a good example to me because even though he was feeling terrible, he continued to work and endure until the end of the day.

 

Some of our investigators just have problems with reading the Book of Mormon. We have emphasized over and over again why they need to read the Book of Mormon. We just hope that they can take the time to just read and pray.

 

We have been keeping busy a lot.There are some great people here. (and some yummy fish too!) I miss all of you.
