Buenas Tardes,
No
tengo mucho tiempo hoy, pero querria contarles algunas cosas. Esta
semana tuvimos una conferencia de nuestra mision entera. El elder Kent F
Richards de la setenta vino junto con elder Garnes nuestro setenta de
area. Elder Richards hablo acerca de muchas cosas, y yo apredi bastante
que quiero poner en practica.
(Translation) I don't have very much time today, but
I wanted to tell you a few things. This week we had a entire mission
conference. Elder Kent F Richards of the seventy came along with Elder
Garnes, our area seventy. Elder Richards spoke about a lot of things and
I learned SO MUCH that I want to put in practice in our area and in my
teaching.
I loved that two of the main things he mentioned
were boldness and daily follow up with each of your investigators. I
have been thinking SO much about both of those things for the last
transfer, and both have been things that consistently pop into my mind
throughout my mission. Hna Ellingson and I have been trying to contact
all of our investigators every day for a couple of weeks now, and so it
was a good validation to know that we're supposed to do that. Boldness
is something that I've always been working on, and a week or so ago I
realized that for me the definition of boldness is really more about
being direct than about being loud or forceful. To be direct you don't
beat around the bush, you just state things how they are or ask the
right question without being afraid of the answers/responses of the
investigators.
I also just wanted to take a moment and encourage all of you to visit the page www.mormon.org/BecauseofHim.
It talks about what is possible because of Jesus Christ and we're all
being encouraged to view and share what is possible in our lives because
of Jesus Christ. I love this thought because throughout my life, and
especially on my mission I've come to learn more and more how much I
depend on Jesus Christ. There is so much of me and of my life that is
only possible Because of Him. Really, whether we recognize it or not, we
all depend on Him for everything. Everything that we are able to become
or do is Because of Him. I am slowly learning to rely on His atonement
and His grace consciously instead of unconsciously and finding the
additional strength that comes from that. I am so grateful for my Savior
Jesus Christ and for his atoning sacrifice for me. I know that He
lived, that He died, and that He was resurrected and lives again. I know
that He loves me and that through Him all things are possible. It
really is Because of Him that we can have this hope.
I love you all and hope that you can renew, strengthen, and then draw comfort and strength from your faith in Jesus Christ.
Love,
