I absolutely loved this email, it just fired me up. I have been thinking about how fast time has been and I realize how much time I have left and it is nothing. If time keeps moving the way it is now then I don't have that much time at all. Rumor has it that it keeps getting faster. So it motivates me to work even more diligently. That is great that Eston made it home, I had been thinking about that and when he was getting home. Tell him I say hi, and congratulations. So Riley is doing great then, putting on some weight too. Tell him to stretch out more and maybe he can pick up a few more inches. Thanks for that insight on that scripture, it really gets me thinking and opens up a great new way to help others understand about how there is a prophet on the earth today. Also tell Lindsay I said congratulations on her new baby girl.
I got my package from Mom, Thank you so very much. I will have warm hands for the winter. It has been pretty nice this month so far and I am glad everything is not frozen yet. Keep praying for me that I don't freeze out here.
Lynne is doing great. She is showing strong faith and is committed to giving up coffee. She is coming to church regularly now and she says she enjoys it. Just on Thursday, we invited her to a Family Home Evening at a members home and we focused it on the great apostasy and why it was important for a restoration. She has mentioned ever since that lesson we had, she feels more committed to being baptized. I think that she is really coming on strong with a true desire to follow Jesus Christ's example.
I have also gotten close with a family, on a particular note, that any missionary can't get with any other family. I also believe that is why the Lord has placed me here in Telford. There is a family in the ward that is going through a divorce and I can really relate to them and especially for the kids who are very similar to the age Riley and I were when our family separated. I was able to help them understand how they will be able to get through the difficult times and I told them that they will always have each other no matter what. Also that it will be a trial of faith and by living the commandments we are able to find true happiness. This affects one particular family member who is planning to go or not go on a mission. I want to help them to make the right decisions.
This all began because of the great Zone Conference we had. By identifying our desires and setting goals to receive revelation on what we can do to better our work in the area, we figured that we must motivate those to prepare to go on missions. It was amazing how it all worked out because now I am able to relate with this particular young man and motivate him to go on a mission. He said he is willing to come out with us to teach and help out in any way possible.
Well I hope you have a good Halloween and also a great week. Its Guy Fauks night this Saturday so we wont be out that much because of potential dangers. It is basically a crazy day when everyone goes out of control with fireworks. UK holiday. Take good care
