Dear Family & Friends,
I
just wanted to write you today and say that this has been a great week.
I absolutely love this last Transfer! Yes transfers ha e come again. I
will be staying with Elder Ravsten for at least another 6 weeks. There
has been so many great things happen. To start we were able to figure
out what is going on with our investigator Kat witch brought a lot of
relief to Elder Ravsten & myself. It is such a blessing to have the
spirit tell you of things that are truth. But one thing that I have been
learned recently is that the spirit will testify of all truth, but it
will not if you have done something to offend it. I have really noticed
it when I am trying to listen to the spirit and sometimes it isn’t not
there as strong as I would like I have to look and see where I am out of
balance and make adjustments to get the spirit more abundantly in my
life. When the spirit is in more abundance it makes missionary work so
much easier!
Also
you will be a little jealous when I say the the average temperature
recently has been between 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit. It has been so nice.
That I think is the best temperature to have in a day. Not to hot or
cold but just right!
Then
this week we had a lot of people at church. There was 2 Investigators
(Alvin & Kat). Then a returning less Active (Malaya). All of them
are awesome. Alvin will get baptized this Saturday. Then Kat is working
toward the 24 of February or March 3rd.
It so cool to see as we Challenging people to be baptize that they
actually except. I wish that would have been something that I would have
learned earlier because more people are willing to be baptized then
You would expect. The lord is always preparing people. They can’t change
unless you invite them.
Then
last night we were able to gather together To set a goal for the coming
Transfer for baptism. It was cool knowing that it wasn’t just the
missionary goal. We set the goal with the stake leaders. It is indeed a
goal between missionaries and the stake. Next Sunday we are going to get
together with the whole zone, the stake Presidency, Brother Jensen, all
the Ward Mission Leaders to come together to get behind the goal of 8.
It has been so cool to see the excitement of the stake to be able to set
this goals! I am really excited & anxious to see what great things
happen this Transfer!
This
week we also had MLC. We learned a lot to be able to be better people,
missionaries, and disciples of Christ. No matter what you learn as long
as it’s centered in Jesus Christ you will come out a better person as
you apply its teaching in your life. Jesus is the Christ! He lived a
perfect life. And as we try to be like him we one day will get there.
Vince Lombardi said something to the effect of “we must chase
perfection. We will never reach it, but in the chase of perfection we
will reach excellence!”
Hope you have a great week! If you don’t make it the best week of your life!Let me know if i can do anything for you!!
Love,
Elder Berry
