Thanks for all of your love and support. It is sustaining me as I miss my home and family more each day.
What a special day this is! Today we have had the opportunity to sustain our new and beloved prophet and President of the Church, President Russel M. Nelson! I thought it was very representative of the Lord that in the press conference following, they stood up against pressure to change, and held true to the commandments of the Lord. God has spoken, and his servants cannot change His law. However, we all have a responsibility to love. Any person who is falling away needs love. May we hasten to care, to listen, and to sympathize before we counsel.
Stories!
About 4 weeks ago, I left the English Book of Mormon we were supposed to be delivering in my bike basket, so we walked all the way back to our bikes to get it. We OYMed to Fernando, and he's due to be baptized this Saturday in the English ward! He needs your prayers. This is a very delicate time for every convert! If all goes well, pictures will be coming next week.
THe same Elders that are teaching Fernando introduced us to Jose! He's cvooll.. More next week..
