Well, Ezrom has finally left for the mission! It is awesome to think that I have three brothers serving missions alongside me. I know that the Lord will bless us and my family. Like it says in Mosiah 2:17
"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."
As we serve Him, He will bless us with His help and with His guidance.
Everything is good here in Lujan. I have to say that I have gotten used to it and love the area. We ride our bikes about 20 minutes to get to our area. Our area is the poorer part in Lujan and it has been awesome working here. Dirt streets and stuff, but we have bikes. I thought it was super safe here, but yesterday, a teenager, who was high on something, tried to rob us. Nothing happened, really. He tried to hit me with a stick, but some other kids grabbed him. Everything turned out okay. The teenager didn't have any weapons or anything on him. Nonetheless, I believe it is a safer areas. ha ha.
This week, my companion and I had the blessing of helping seven people come to church. We prayed a lot. We asked the Lord that, if we do our part well, He would do His part in helping them come. I know that He helped us Sunday morning as we got up early looking for these people to help them come. As we go to church we can feel of His Spirit and His Love. But more importantly, we go to church to partake of the sacrament. We can think of the covenants that we have made with Him and do all we can to become better. It is a time to reflect and to feel of His love and His Atonement. I am grateful for my Savior and the example that we can follow.
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
It is through the example of Christ and the chance that we have to change to become more like Our Father in Heaven! Have a great week!
