Hey Family and Friends,
Well another week has gone by and we are just working hard and trying to be the best missionaries we can be. I still have a lot of room for improvement in that area. But things are going good. We are teaching a family right now, I think that I mentioned them in the last e-mail. They have a lot of problems in their house so we are helping them with some of their problems through the Lessons that we teach. Their two kids, Heidi and Darwin, will be baptized this month and hopefully next month the parents will be baptized. They can't get baptized unless they are married and they are not married so we are going to work on getting them married this month, or the next, and get them baptized. It is really good to see them making changes in their lives and wanting to have a better home for their kids. They know that they have problems and they want to change. The Lord is really helping them and blessing them.
We have been working with the Ward a lot as usual and been trying to get things going there. It seems like a lot of our work is helping the Ward to be better and helping the less active members. It is good to see changes being made in the Ward and in the hearts of the members. They are starting to help us with references, actual references where they introduce us to a family member and are they are in the lesson with us. 7 of our 11 investigators have come from references from the members. The other 4 are the family that we are teaching right now. So that just goes to show you how the work needs to go. I can see now how much I didnt help out the missionary program before my mission and how important it is to always be involved in missionary work. I know that probably every missionary says this, but I really want to do a lot of work with the missionaries when I get home and during my life. I really have come to love the work and love helping people come to Christ. I have started to see everyone as sons and daughters of God rather than just other people. I really wish that everyone would except the message that the Lord has for them but that's not how it works. My heart is pained when people say " no I dont want anything to do with God". I think, if they only knew the joy that comes from being a member of the church and having the knowledge of the Gospel, how happy they would be. I pray that they will all accept it in the future at some point in their lives.
Well I have a challange for all of you this week. I want everyone who reads this e-mail to write down 5 names of people that you think need the Gospel in there lives. Then once you have that, pray to find out which 1 of those 5 the Lord wants you to share the Gospel with. Then make contact with that person this week and get them prepared to meet with the missionaries in your area. I hope to get an e-mail from all of you next week telling me how your experience went. I know that you are all really busy with a lot of things but the Lord wants you this week to take some time and share the Gospel. I promise you that you will recieve more blessings than you can even imagine.
I love you all and thanks so much for the letters and all the prayers. I hope you all have another great week.
Love sean
