September 15th

Hey!

 

It has been another fast week. We just keep running and running and we keep seeing good things happen. We plan out our day and it seems like we always end up planning more than we are actually able to get done. Partly due to the fact that our area is so big that it take 20-30 minutes to get anywhere.

 

We have been struggling to meet with our investigators lately. They are caught in the good and better while missing out on the BEST. It is hard but we just keep working at it and keep pressing forward. We have apointments with several of them this week and we are praying that they don't cancel again this week.

 

We had out Mission Leadership Council this past week and it was really good. President Samuelian had Wyn Dunford from LDS Bussiness College and Bro Allen from the Gallup Corp there and they spent a few hours talking about our strengths and how to apply them in our lives. President Samuelian is very devoted to us missionaries and the success of our lives. He has worked it out with LDS Business College that anyone from the OSM gets a 50% scholarship. 

 

Other than that there wasn't too much interesting that happened this week. I have been working on my Personal Progress, a challenge that the Young Women give to every missionary that serves in the ward,  and I am on track to have that finished before I leave. When I finish I get a medalion on a key chain. I think that it is a cool idea to get the young women involved and motivated to get their personal progress done. This ward has a great youth program, there are about 80 youth which is great to see. I am convinced that if you want a great ward you need to have a great youth program. Something else that is cool is they Young Men all challenged the Elder Quorum to a Duty to God challenge. So the Elders are racing the young men to see who can get it done first.

 

It is exciting to see the gospel roll forward and to see all that the Lord is doing. There are miracles out there to be had and there is nothing to stop us from seeing them other than out lack of faith and trust. Ether 12:12

 

I love you all and wish you the very best week.
