This week was really good! The humidity is still a killer
but I think that I am slowly but surely getting used to it. We bike about every
day but I guess that's a good thing because we are able to talk to a lot more
people. My companion is pretty cool. He's from St. George and he's 23! He only
has 5 months of his mission left so he knows a lot of the secrets. We get along
pretty well.
The people here are a lot different than Utah, but they are
really good. Most of the people here are nondenominational which means they are
Christian but don't have a specific religion. That doesn't make much sense to
me because they say that they are saved no matter what they do just because
they say that they believe in Christ. The biggest part of faith and believing
is the acting part. Faith without works is dead. We work a lot with less active
members because we have struggled to find new investigators. Fortunately this
week we got a referral for a non member lady. She is a
strong Christian who is nondenominational, but she is looking for a change in
her life. She said that she feels like there is so much more that she is
missing out on. We had a solid lesson with her and I am pretty confident that
she knows what we say is true. Lesson's with her are a little bit weird because
of her past religion, but we still invite the spirit. Last lesson with her we
talked about the Godhead and how Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and 2
separate beings. She said that she believes what we say is true. I'm pretty
excited for her. Another investigator we are working with is still
struggling to keep some commandments. He says that he wants more than anything
to stop and change but he just can't do it. We are working hard with him to
help him quit his problems. I have faith that everything will work out.
Well that about sums up my week! I love doing this work. It
is tough but it is by far the best decision I have ever made in my life! One of
the best motivators I had was Jesus Christ. He knows all of our pains and weaknesses
because He has been there. Once we recognize Him in our lives, we then are able
to progress and grow closer to Him. Remember Him always! Love you all
