Hello Everyone,
So I have a new companion. His name is Elder Beck. He’s from Seattle area and was also Elder Fa’amausili’s MTC companion. We spent our whole entire week finding and talking to people. I’m sure most of you have heard of the “He Is the Gift” initiative that the church is putting on right now. All the missionaries have special “He is the Gift” pass along cards. We’ve been handing them out like candy! Christmas time is such a great time to be a missionary.
I think we found around 10 potential investigators in just the past 4 or so days. Some of them seemed really interested and prepared. I love being a missionary during Christmas time because it’s so easy to share the gospel. If you were wondering, we haven’t really been able to stay in contact much with Alan, and Ayad has seemed to have lost interest. Just thought I’d update y’all on that ----- yes, I said it. I hate it as much as you do. haha.
I had some weird anxiety attack thingy this week. It was the second one I have had on my mission. Quite ugly. haha. Anyway, I asked my companion for a blessing and everything is all good. Since I have been in this area we have been working with a very interesting guy named Peter. When I first got there he was struggling a lot with his testimony. This past week when we met with him I realized just how much he’s changed. That’s truly what the gospel does for us. It changes us into something even better than we were before. I know that as long as we are trying our hardest and doing all in our power, no matter how much power that is, to do what is right, the Lord will always bless us.
Yesterday in Young Men’s 3rd hour of church, we watched the movie called “Legacy”. Pretty old and pretty cheesy but good. It’s amazing how powerful a testimony of the restored gospel can be. That it can allow people to endure seemingly impossible trials. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. I know that this is Christ’s church. And I know that no matter what opposition may come our way, the Lord will always remember us. Thanks for all that you do. I love you all! Until next week.
love,
Elder Steed
