To randy mountainBonniegrandpa kent and 13 More...
things are going great as always but how could they not be when you are serving the lord. i was reading this week in the book of mormon and i was reading about charity and i was thinking that that should be somehting one of the biggest things that all of us should strive to have. charity never faileth. as we strive for charity we gain that pure love of christ. we gain a love for those around us and are more prone to be able to feel that love expressed through us to others and from others to us. go out and look for opportunites to serve someone. the lord will bless you in your lives and will bless the lives of others through you. as you do you will feel a portion of the love that our savior has for each and everyone of us.
i was able to go on exchange with elder ontiveros thsi week and it was a good exchange. we were talking about how it had been really hard the past few days to get any investigators and both of us were maybe a little bit getting down but we decided to start talking more posoitve and once we started to do that we both felt way better and the next two people we talked with on the street were so elect and ready to hear the gospel. they invited us over and you could just tell that truly were searching for something. we are going to teach them this week. its great when the lord strengthens your faith through a trail and you are able to see him bless you as well, it makes it so much easier to go forward knowing that you can trust him in everything.
we were able to meet with our investigator carlos garcia this week as well and it was a very much needed lesson. we brought a member of the ward which was good they hit it off and got a long well. we found out that he had been taught a lot by missionaries before so we went in and established why were there and our purpose. it went so good. in the past he has been worried about not knowing enough but we told him that after we taught the 5 lessons he would know all he needed to make this step so this next week we are going to use a baptismal calender with him and try to help him progress the best we can so he can truly be ready.
we had a lesson with this guy named tim. a guy we tracted into last week and we were able to go back and teach him this week. it was way cool becuase as we were teaching him his wife wasnt too interested but like she wants him to go to church and have a faith in christ and he hasnt been doing that so she is supportive of him and as we taught him his wife went and got her journal and brought it down and started to read the journal entry that she wrote the night that we knocked on their door. and she had like written down exact words that we said and was quoting us and things and she wrote about how the spirit touched her and what she felt it was so powerful. the thing is she was like teaching and saying all this to her husband so that he would listen to us. it was crazy and amazing all at the same time. the lesson went great and we are meeting with them again on tuesday. cant wait!
ps we got bored this morning and one of the tongan elders gave me a tattoo.. dollar store tattoos and a pen. the things that missionaries doo... dont ask.
love Elder Ross

I am getting a new companion on wednesday his name is elder aubery i am way excited. i know who he is but i dont know much about him at all. hes been out 3 months longer than me and i have heard he is such a cool guy. i have heard nothing but good things about him so i am way excited for what lies in store for this next transfer. it is defianlty a sad day because elder hales will be going home. no beuno. he is a cool guy and i am going to miss him a lot.
