Hey Everyone!
Thanks for the emails I got this week, it was so good hearing from everyone. Cade it sounds like your in for a sweet summer! Your gonna have so much fun on that hike, especially with all the Harris 2nd crew, they are the best.
I'm glad you guys like the new school you plan on attending. All I have to say though is Cade if you swim you better kick some trash....ha ha no I'm sure you'll do great!
Dad, isn't it weird how Life is like that sometimes. When you just wish God would give you a personal Liahona or something to tell you exactly what to do in all the questions of life. Ive felt like that a few times in my mission and Ive found the answer to my questions EVERY single time from the scriptures or from being obedient to the Gospel and the covenants that Ive made.
Ive never had to worry about buying or selling houses or trying to raise a family so i don't really have any idea of what i could tell you, but i can say that through exact obedience to the commandments and covenants you have made you will be worthy to be guided by the Holy Ghost which is the greatest gift and guide that we have been given in this life. Through this gift the secrets of life and and ALL things can be made known as to the things that we must do.
I really enjoyed the talk this conference when a brother was talking about placing missionaries in their assigned fields with Pres. Eyring and listening to the spirit to decide where they needed to go. The 1st time the man was asked what he felt he said the wrong place and Pres. Eyring lovingly told him that he needed to pay closer attention to the spirit. After focusing more the 2nd time he was asked he was ready and in tune with the Spirit, and he was guided to exactly the right mission. IT was a great talk and it really hit me hard on the importance of listening more closely to the prompting we receive.
Well I've had a great week, and have been super busy. My companion and i are completely wiped from all the running around we have been doing but its such a gratifying feeling. Its a good kinda tired that comes from giving it your all and knowing your doing the right thing. The Lord had been blessing us with success and the work is moving forward. We have a baptism with a man named Fulvio right around the corner and we are all excited for him and have been working hard to get him ready for his big day. He drove to church on his scooter in the rain this last week and he lives about an hour from the church. His faith and desire to do what is right is incredible and i look up to him so much.
We also have been working on helping a bunch of our investigators quit smoking....We have a quit smoking program that works in 7 days and its been interesting to see how it works. If we can overcome come the smoking problem, we'll have 17 new candidates for baptism..... so we are praying that these investigators will find the motivation to quit.
I'm healthy, happy and loving life. I couldn't be happier anywhere else and I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow through serving his children here in Italy. Thanks for all the prayers, emails and support. Ill hear from you all next week!
