Meeting, inviting, learning



This week was really good. We went out and had some really great miracles meeting new people and inviting them to learn about the gospel. We hope that this week they can meet with us and learn more about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the wonderful message of the Restored gospel.

My companion is doing really well. We are learning a lot together; she's a great teacher and does a really amazing job of teaching with the spirit. Our studies are working out really well and I enjoy reviewing the things I learned as a new missionary.

Right now we are trying to help our members follow their covenants that they made when they were baptized, and trying to help them get ready for making temple covenants by getting a temple recommend and being temple worthy to go.

I want to share a quote I found from Jesus the Christ. I came across reading it before bed the other night. It says,
"Though an apostle is thus seen to be essentially an envoy, or ambassador, his authority is great, as is also the responsibility associated therewith, for he speaks in the name of a power greater than his own."
Since Elder Holland once said that, as missionaries, we are apostles (without the capital A), I applied this to my service here. Here, I am representing Jesus Christ. Not only do I have authority to call people to repentance but I have the responsibility to share His message with everyone. It's a great scripture to remind me to open my mouth.

Love you so much! Have a wonderful week.
