I have not bought a camera yet but i am planning on buying one today!
Yes exactly! Faith is a gift that comes from obedience... From obedience, reading scriptures, praying, going to church, and basically being in situations that we can feel the spirit and when we are obedient, we are worthy to have the spirit with us... I’ve learned that faith is truly amazing; it is by faith that miracles are done. In 3rd Nephi, Jesus says that he literally could not show the people in Jerusalem the miracles he showed the Nephites because the people did not have enough faith. In Ether it says that by faith was the atonement accomplished; by faith the world was made. I don’t understand it at all, but I teach about it everyday!
This week we had another street set up. I ended up meeting a guy with a St. Louis shirt on. He goes to school in Carbondale. He is a really cool guy. His name is Christian and he is an atheist. haha He speaks perfect English and I was able to teach him on the street for about an hour. He is a super cool guy and he will be in Missouri in a couple of days. He said he would gladly welcome missionaries there so I will give his information to the office so they can teach him out there. But it is great to know that there are still people here and everywhere that the lord has prepared and are willing to listen to the gospel. I gave his brother in law a copy of the book of Mormon and we had a great conversation. It was really nice to teach in English... by myself and just say what I know is true and to try to help others understand the same thing.
Oh man, Garrett is in Ghana wow. That would be so nice. Every single African we see here we try to talk to because they are so open to the gospel. Just about every single African is willing to meet with missionaries! Its amazing. He is very lucky in that way. And Travis is in the MTC...That’s so great.
P.S. we have been teaching a woman that wants to know everything about the gospel and the really deep doctrine. Its crazy and I have been studying the pearl of great price. hah it’s great.
I love you and let everyone know that I am doing well
and loving it in Germany!
