Its been another wonderful week in Paradise! Time is flying by I can't believe how fast things are going. First I never thought I would have Christmas on the mission and now that has come and gone. I definitely didn't think I would ever have a birthday on a mission and that is just about here and then I will be at 6 months. Time goes to fast, not enough time to do the things I want to accomplish on the mission. The last couple of days I have been thinking about what I should write about this week and as I am looking through my journal I got nothing! It has been one of those weeks... Then you look and think a little bit deeper and you see the small blessings that the Lord blesses you with!
This week I have done a bunch of things new for myself! I started a bunch of things. I am not eating anymore candy at all... so please no candy! Now I love to eat Almonds and Dried fruit :) but I have been trying to eat healthy sense Christmas! This week I also started reading Jesus the Christ, that book is so deep and interesting. I decided to read it to gain a bigger vocabulary... but I have come to find a more deepening love for my savior and all that he has done for me. Crazy fact about me... Sense coming on my mission I have found out how much I love to study and read! Who would have guessed the kid that never study for test now loves to study. I am so glad I have gained that habit for the future.
The last couple of days have been weird in a fact that lots of people have been talking about why this is the only true church on the Earth today. Yesterday at church in our gospel principles class we were talking about the card that has the 17 point of the true church and what those are. Then the devotional that happened just last night, Elder Callister was talking about the blue prints to Christ true Church on the earth and how our Church is the only one that has all the things that are necessary for Christ Church. If you didn't watch it I encourage you to watch it. Its at cesdevotionals.lds.org it was a wonderful devotional.
The work in this area is as strong as ever we are teach so many people and starting to see a lot more progression. We had some solid lessons with a lady named Lisa she has been going through a divorce and things were hard on her but she relied on the Lord and now things are better she is really loving the support the gospel is giving her and how much she can rely on her Savior to help her over come the pain she felt. We actually found out that Lisa will not be getting a divorce and they are working through things. She has also said he knows it is only possible for it to work through the atonement of the Savior. The faith she has is unbelievable and just incredible she is doing so well and we will continue to pray for her. We also taught Jill again this week with Megan there helping her find happiness in the gospel. She is reading and praying, she knows she is receiving answers to her prayers. Hopefully she will be able to follow the example her daughter has set for her and receive the joy that she sees in her daughter. And then there is Fidel!!!!! They are doing awesome as ever and are still loving coming to church. They love all this gospel has and you can see the light in there eyes! We talked about them being baptized on the 25th of this month we will just have to see where they are and what they want. But either way they have come a LONG LONG ways! Fidel has been sober now for a least 2 weeks!
This week I have been reading in Alma about Ammon and Aaron who go and teach the Lamanites about the gospel. Well a promise was made to there father that they would return in safety. Long story short Ammon, Aaron and his other brothers go and convert thousands and they are protected through out all the hard ships they have. I know that as we venture along this journey we are protected and we need not worry about the things of the world. Our Father in Heaven has a special watch over us and we will meet again in safety. I love you all so much and I pray you all will continue on the path of Righteousness, for narrow is the gate and straight is the way!
Love,
Elder Williams!!
