This week we
explored to the ends of our area the very deep country....and the very last
house. We were inspired and were able to find many ready and humble
people that wanted to hear the gospel. I have been able to feel the
spirit really strong with my companion and I am so thankful for her strong
testimony and love for the gospel. She is the only member in her family
and they still dont want to accept the gospel because they are all
catholics. She is still learning but she is super fun and different we
enjoy being together! We have had quite a bit of fun laughing over our awkward
law of chastity lessons...but Sadly it is not going to last long because
Tuesday night I leave for Santo Tome, Argentina! I am super sad to leave
our convert Mariela--who by the way gave an amazingly spiritual lesson this
Sunday. It was great for her first time. And the struggling
ward because there are so many things I still want to put into practice...I am
also going to miss speaking in Guarani. Not that I speak very well... but I
love the language.
But I wanted to
write a little about something that I have studied recently in the scriptures--
Dads and why they
are so great (dedicated to the best dad in the world! CAMERON GUNTER)
Using the example
of Alma in the Book of Mormon, we recognize that he gave great advice to all
three of his sons that they could learn in their youth the wisdom of God.
He also shared his past experiences with them recognizing that he wasnt perfect
but could help his children avoid the same mistakes and put their trust in the
Lord. Alma 36:3
He shared with them
the things that he learned from God and his eternal plan so they could know how
to reach eternal life and bore testimony of the great and powerful
atonement. He taught with love and spoke of the importance of the book of
mormon. And most importantly, when Coriantun had committed his sins, he
warned him of the consequences but didnt condemn his son, rather, condemned the
sin and explained to his son the doctrine so that he understood why.
Because he understood that most people commit sin only because they dont
understand the doctrine well enough. Alma 39
Thanks dad for all
you have taught me. I love you for everything you have done for me.
I will never be able to thank you enough for all you have sacrificed for me so
that I can be here where I am today. And still you continue to serve and
sacrifice for the family. Always remember God first, then the family, and
then work.
Thanks everybody
and I hope you had a great fathers day!
I wish I could say
¨save some cake for me¨ but I think it might go moldy in 7 monthes!
I love you all and
remember to put on the armer of God
