Wow, this week was extremely hott! Want to know the best part? That it really didn;t bother me! I am pretty sure the Lord is giving me strength in this heat to work and help others. My area here is really wonderful. I have made so many good friends with the members who help us a lot. This week we have been teaching people about Christ and the importance of him in our lives. This week it suddenly dawned on me that most people don;t understand the importance of Christ, and without this, why would they want to work so hard and join the church? So we have been explaining about what Christ did for us, and when our investigators understand this, they work harder. It has been incredible to me to see the difference. I have been learning so much about the Atonement of Christ, and really feeling closer to my Savior.
My companion has still been having difficulties.I dont know what will happen in the end, but I know that I am learning a lot! I have always wanted to be more patient, and so the Lord blessed me with this opportunity to learn. I just hope that I am learning all that I need to!
I wish I had some really great spiritual stories or experiences to tell, but sometimes we just work, teach and search for people who are ready to follow Christ. Sometimes we just teach, they dont progress, and we continue. We are here to find those who are ready, and that is what we are doing!
I love this gospel more than anything! I challenge everyone to learn more about Christ and His atonement, and you will find more of a desire to work harder and keep the commandments. He is the only one who understands EVERYTHING that you go through, so why not talk to Him more and rely on him? I am grateful for my mission, and so happy to be here! Look for the positive in things and you can never be sad. I love you all, WRITE LETTERS and let me know how you are doing!
Love, Sister Gordon
