Hello again,
Miracles happen daily. What are the miracles in your life?
This past Sunday was Father's Day. All the children ages
3-11 years old sang a couple songs in the front of the congregation, but the
focus of the music was on the fathers. These children are in Primary, which is
the Church's children's organization. It was precious. I hope you all had the
opportunity to spend time in communication with your fathers and fatherly
figures in your life. I really enjoy this video about fatherhood. http://goo.gl/LGV0d2
As the closing speaker finished his talk about the impact
his father and grandfather had in his life, I felt a great gratitude for my
father, grandparents and all the men in my life who have been such a great
influence. Their love, patience, and care are types of the perfect love God has
for each of us, His children.
I finally got sick. Eleven weeks in and I got a cold, which,
considering the stuff some people are catching out here, I'm grateful it wasn't
anything worse. The Lord has definitely blessed me with health to be able to
serve Him and His children. I was still able to go out and work and I am
already recovering from it.
This past week, Elder Mosher, two other Elders and I were
able to attend a couple camp meetings for the Seventh Day Adventist Church here
in Idaho and Oregon. We had been invited by an Adventist family we have been
teaching the restored Gospel. What a great experience! We attended a couple
two-hour sessions. The first hour was full of announcements, worship music,
prayers, and offerings for various church programs. The second hour saw
Elizabeth Talbot, Ph.D in Biblical Studies, give some amazing lectures on Jesus
Christ's ultimate victory. Everyone had their Bible pulled out as she taught
principles present from Genesis through Revelations. Before and after the
meetings, we had the opportunity to get to know several members of their
church. Everyone we talked to was very nice! Some people were surprised that a
few missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were in
attendance! The camp meetings were live-streamed over the Internet and to other
church locations, so there were several cameras set up to get shots of the
speaker and the audience. At one point I looked up from where I was reading in
the Bible to see the side and back of my head projected up on two large screens
in the front of the gymnasium.
We have been speaking to more people on the street and at
the door! Our appointments that we have been trying to set for investigators
have been falling through time and time again. We have been learning much in
the way of patience and perseverance. My companion's bike has also had several
interesting failures this past week. It continues to be a joy whenever we are
able to stop and share our testimonies of the Savior and His Gospel.
I hope you are all doing exceedingly well.
