Another good week out here in Wilmington North Carolina!
This weekend Adelso got baptized, he is a stud. We started teaching him 2 weeks ago and he has so much faith. Someone from the YSA baptized him and they body slammed that boy, it was like sea world in the hall way
We have still been working with Iantha and we have her on date for this next Sunday the 7th, she is elect. She keeps every commitment. This week someone tried sharing some anti with her and she just told them to get lost, she recognized it was opposition from the devil
I went on exchange this week back to one of my old areas, Jacksonville. The Elders were filming a video with the Samuelus who are some of the greatest people I have ever met. It was awesome to see them again
Other than that not much has happened, we have just been teaching A TON. Last week we found 10 new people to teach and this week 7 new people, plus all the people we were teaching before, so we have just had lessons stacked back to back.
This week I was reading in 1 Thessalonians 2 and this verse stood out to me
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been such a blessing to my life, and what a privilege it has been, and is, to be a full time missionary. Nothing in my life has been as challenging as my mission has been. But also, nothing in my life has been more fulfilling and joyful as my mission has been. There is no greater message on the face of the planet that can be or ever will be shared, or will ever have a greater impact on me and everyone in the world. The Gospel changes lives, it has definitely changed mine.
"There Is no spiritual power in living by convenience, the power comes when we keep our covenants."
