BLOG:
OK everyone!
I had a
fantastic15 point blog to write, but for the first time in well, many
months, my mission president wrote and asked how I was doing. Even
though it looked really simple, it was a good soul searching question so
I just finished answering that! :)
Ok! Sorry but little time left! Here are some of the good points for the week!
1. Someone asked
a great question about the atonement, (summed up), Why did Christ have
to die? Summed up answer, (1 John3 :16 -not to be mistaken with, but can
correspond with, John 3:16). If you have a second, look it up!
2. A less
active really opened up about a prompting he recevied for another, and
asked how he could receive more promptings for his family as the father
of his home? We had a great discussion on the importance of being worthy
for those promptings, and living our lives in a way that we're always
receptive to the Holy Ghost. We will be following up with him and his
family!
3. On a funny
note, I asked president one night, "Is it against the word of wisdom to
eat 50 gummy bears in a day?" He said, "I'd like to see you try and eat
50 carrots." Hahaha little does he know, I have.
4. Alma 4:25! A great message of endurance and trusting
the Lord. It's only after all of the slaps and the smiting from
everyone, everything, and everywhere, that Alma and Amulek finally catch
a break of deliverance! Hang in till the end!
5. I shredded some skin on the top of my foot playing
basketball a couple days ago, and my mom'd be so proud. I wrapped those
suckers up with cream and everything! I felt so medically savy. Good
times. Note to self: Don't play basketball barefoot with the YSA's. :D
6. We were at a district meeting doing a role play, and I
felt to bear a powerful testimony on the redeeming love of our Savior,
and it was so powerful... The elder started crying, and he didn't even
speak english! What a testimony it is to me. :)
7. Ahh! Got to skip down my list, out of time! Anyway, we
had a fantastic stake conference allll about missionary work and
finding the one. Directly after this meeting, I felt impressed to talk
to one of the members who was there, and at first she said there wasn't
really anything, and then I mentioned that I had felt prompted to speak
with her. It was really neat how she began to open up about a loved one
who was inactive, and how she wanted us to come over for dinner to help
her and talk about it! Incredible thing! :)
8. We went on an exchange with a brand new elder, and I was talking to him that night. He mentioned how his testimony was wavering, and how he was struggling. I felt prompted to give him some words of counsel, and he paused and told me that I had almost quoted a good paragraph of his partriarcal blessing...
It's been a
fantastic week, and I'm so grateful for my Savior and all that he's done
for me, and the help that he's given me to bless the lives of others.
:)
I'm so grateful to be serving and I'm SOOO GLAD I'M A YOUNG MISSIONARY NOT GOING HOME SOON! (not in denial).
I love you all sooo much!! Elder Langford
