Hey everyone!
I
wasn't able to write a blog last week. One new thing is that I have a
new companion. His name is Elder Campbell and he's been out a little
over a year. We get along really well He's a good missionary, a
little on the quiet side, but I think just with some time and
forming a deep relationship, well be able to really get talking. He was
on a badminton high school team, which is pretty interesting! He went
to BYU the same year I did in heritage, and he was going for
civil engineering. We are doing good together! He's ready to work and
he's very smart!
We
have a great family in the ward. (The Smith Family)!! They give us
rides and they went and bought our favorite foods. She bought gummies
and Reese's PB cups. Of course I ate the whole bag as I always do..
whoops ;)
We
had a great baptism last week. A young man whose name is Garrett! He's
doing so good! I saw him in young mens and he was beaming after his
confirmation. It was a great manifestation of the Holy Ghost!
Our new area sisters have been cradled by the ward and they're working hard!
Sister
Wilde is training Sister Baining, and they're having some
good success! We gave them Remi, our investigator, and
she's progressing so well! Things are going great out here! This area
is ready to harvest! Our ward mission leader is as excited about
missionary work as we are!! We need to take some of his enthusiasm and
use it! He's off the wall on top of everything, and has helped us
coordinate so much since
we've gotten here.
We've been biking up a storm here the last two weeks and we've talked to a lot of people! We've seen lots of little miracles.
One
of our new investigators was a referral that's been staying at
a member's home for a while. Hes had to go through some hard times
in his life, he's turned to God, and has seen the difference in his
life in doing so. Its incredible to see how excited he is and how
many questions he has as we continually go over and teach him. He
truly loves the gospel, and is diving in so deep! One of the things we
had
to talk about was how to find our own answers from God,
and becoming in a sense, self reliant on our revelation and testimonies.
The testimony of a missionary can only carry so far into someones
life, but a personal testimony of the Gospel of Christ, changes the
heart, and strengthens the soul.
Elder Oaks gave us the initiative to become spiritually self reliant, depending upon the Lord, to help us overcome
our trials and questions. We all go through tough trials in our lives,
where we dont always know how to find the answer or where to turn. I
testify that through learning how to receive personal revelation, and
developing a healthy relationship with our Father in Heaven,
that we can find out the things that we need to do, in order to realize
that we are truly sons and daughters of our father in Heaven. Imagine
the things he wishes to tells us and remind us of.
Just
like our own family members, the surface, once cracked, has so much
more to tell, and the deep love that our Father in Heaven has for us, is
a surface that we can choose to crack into, and partake of the unending
love that he wishes us to feel. I know that everyone of you is a child
of God, that you're loved, and that if you dont feel that you are,
there are so many that would love to remind you, especially
your Father in Heaven!
Well, times a running out, I love all of you so much and hope that y'all have a great week!!! Take care a God bless yah!
Elder Langford
