"This week was an awesome learning experience for me both threw studies and
going out to work. we had been praying for the opportunity to find someone to
have the desire to follow Jesus in the footsteps of baptism . the start of the
week was ruff, we worked all day and prayed for the chance to find
someone prepared, but with all the people we had planned to see, each day 1 by 1
they were not home! It got super frustrating! It also didn't help returning home
with no success calling all the missionaries in the zone to help them with their
success when we were struggling ourselves. Each day we woke up we would get
ready spiritually and be ready to leave and declare the gospel. Again 1 by one
people not home, doors slammed in our face. It drained us physically to where we
would be completely quiet walking down the street kicking rocks thinking of what
we might do to help a family. opportunity's came for service but no success with
teaching. My thoughts were going so fast thinking, if only these people knew how
much joy this gospel would bring to them. Being the person that knows the
happiness this message contains only makes it harder when people wont listen.
Threw this experience I learned heavenly father was testing our faith and
diligence. Finally at the end of the week yesterday, threw all of our hard work
we ran into a man that accepted us to come in, the power of our message was so
great he accepted a date to be baptized. Threw all of our hard work and labor in
this great haste, we were led to someone that had enough faith to learn about
this gospel! I know threw our trials when we feel like we should give up its
only a trial of faith. How much does this matter to you? are you willing to
fight till the very end? I love the challenges our father in heaven puts us
threw I know and testify threw our righteous desires at the end of our trial we
receive an understanding as we look back. Then comes our knowledge that this
work is true. To be a member of the church we have to go threw and feel a part
of what our savior felt as he was here. salvation was never easy. if any of us
desire to walk the path of Jesus the learning can only come threw pain and
sorrow in order to experience the eternal happiness, peace, an illumination of
light that directs us to a far greater life, something that our flesh cannot
comprehend. what a joy it is to know that our savior is right next to us and to
feel his love as we endure righteously. I know this gospel is true! I love my
family so much and would do anything for all of you. I pray that this message
will touch all of you. I just cant wait to see all of you again"
