Let's see, Tuesday we had service! We went and packed food for the
less fortunate at the Salvation Army. I've done service there before.
The great thing about it was part of my old zone was there! It was so
fun and great seeing all of them. Just so fun actually knowing people
in the mission!
Wednesday, oh Wednesday. We had two of our investigators drop us.
Blah... Don't like those days. I went on exchanges with elder Branham!
We had a great day! Found 3 new investigators, but in his area! It was
great for him and his companion though! Furthering the work just feels
great! Exchanges are always fun, because you learn somebody's whole
life story in a day and then say see ya the next😂
Thursday? We had district council. I gave a training and only had an
hour to prepare! It was great! I had no idea what I was saying but I
guess it worked out! Quote of my life "the world can change a persons'
behavior, but the gospel can change a persons' nature" mind blown!
Love it! We did a mini blitz with our zone leaders! That was fun. Just
tracted for an hour with no luck!!! Mmmmm missionary work so great!
Friday! I can't remember what we did:) I know something important:)
but I don't remember what!
Saturday! Our investigators cancelled on everything and we just spent
the day tracting. We talked with a potential investigator, checked in
him. His dad thought it was a smart idea to try and take the Christmas
lights down, in the rain, on the roof, and it was night time. Oh, he
was in his 70's too. Well, as you can guess, he fell off. Broke his
back nothing else. Still breathing! So all is well.
Sunday, more of revelation day:) I love church so much! Only one
investigator showed up. It's better than none! We had a less active
family show up! That was great! Actually taking the priest out for
lessons later this week! I appreciate a love church so much now that
I'm on my mission! It rejuvenates you for the upcoming hardships and
trials. Confirms God's love for you! And it's a commandment so you get
blessings for showing up;P
So the reason I didn't email yesterday was because we had a mission
tour yesterday. So, a member from the seventy comes and talks with us.
It was great! I learned so much from him! He knew his scriptures, the
importance of them, and the importance of inviting people to read
everyday! Then, after that we had a priest out with us and PUT IN
WORK. We gave a Catholic a BOok of Mormon! She said she would read
from it! Then, we helped some people move in furniture set up a return
appointment! My comp told me they weren't interested the last time he
talked to them. We got in that door and testified of the truths!
That's right! Then, we had another lesson we taught them the first
lesson and set them with a baptismal date! Ugh, work hard (don't play)
work harder! It was just a great day of diligence, revelation, and
spirit filled teaching!
Let me tell you that this gospel is true! Christ does live and the
Book of Mormon is the word of God. You will receive and answer to your
prayers IF you are sincere, are willing to change after you receive an
answer, and will continue looking for answers! Setting up good habits
of scripture study, praying daily, going to church, and following the
commandments is how you will for a surety receive and answer from God!
The love he has for you, for me, for everyone is evident in our daily
lives. Just look and you will see, seek and ye shall find, knock and
he will answer.
Elder Jarvis
