Family!
This has been a pretty amazing week. Life is so amazing here in Enid and we
had great experiences this week. One thing that really stood out this week was
how often we had the opportunity to bear testimony of the Book of Mormon. There
are plenty of things to talk about and bear testimony, but it seemed like so
many of our lessons were focused on the simple truth of this testament of Jesus
Christ. It was the perfect reminder to us of how much this book means. I love
it.
In this mission there are two missionaries that I have really looked up to
because they've been such good examples to me. They've both been great leaders,
but the things they were called to do are so different. One of them baptized
almost 40 people which is insane for this mission and the other has baptized 2.
I got to go on exchanges with my good friend that has baptized 2 and watched him
pray, teach, and bless people. I've had plenty of opportunities with both and I
realized that they teach with the same power and authority. They represent the
same Jesus Christ. We are all part of the body of Christ, but we have specific
calling to fill and certain tasks to perform (2 Corinthians 12:14-31).This week in Enid we met a lady named Deanna that wanted to read the Book of Mormon and come to church. Well she did both and she told everybody at church that she's joining the church. The baptism date is set and we're ready to go. I am so amazed and so consistently reminded who leads this work. This is the work of God and constantly we see miracles. Sometimes it is so hard to understand why we go through things and why we're not having the success we want, but we do what we're supposed to and God takes care of the rest. Our whole purpose is to invite and help people come to him.
I love you all! Have a great week! HFF!
