Week #41 10/26/2015

Two investigators came to church last Sunday, at it was awesome! A father and his daughter came, and even though they only made it to the last hour, the relief society welcomed his 20 year old daughter with open arms, and she loved it. It feels good to be a missionary.

Being a trainer is awesome, but it gets kinda embarrassing and funny when the missionary you are training knows far more than you, which happens quite often with Elder Burgess. But I like it, I am learning more each day with this kid, and the wisdom he has is really beyond any guy our age.

I don't really have much time at all, we've been knocking most of this week. A guy we met gave us an entire folder of Christian poetry he had spent years writing. It was pretty cool. We gave him a book written over the course of about 1000 years and contained the words of eternal life, so we came out even. He liked the book a lot.

Watch conference, it is awesome. Read the Book of Mormon, it is true, and the direct word of God.  We have a prophet to guide us and a Heavenly Father who loves us, as does Jesus Christ, our savior who lives today. Love you guys. oh, and it's getting colder.

Matthew 11:28-30 28 ¶Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I ammeek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

It doesn't mean that we wont have work, but that the work of the savior: the service, the callings, and the families will be lifted up by Christ, and take away the soul crushing burdens of sin, sadness, addiction, temptation, anger, and remorse, and replace it with peace, love, and a feeling of being strong and whole. I know that to be true.
