GOSH WHAT A WEEK!
I can’t tell you how much my heart is filled with love for
you guys. Thank you for all of the pictures of Trevor's game. I loved to see everyone!
HIGH(s): People are
moving to our area to be baptized. Its pretty amazing to watch the miracles of
the Lord play out. Hermana Reynoso (My Cam) is back from her honeymoon and I
have her running 18 missionaries through "migraciones" or the place
where we make missionries legal these next 2 weeks. Teaching Elder Purser (my
companion) to drive a stick shift - See Pictures
LOW(s): A lot of my
buddies are ending their mission in 2 weeks. No one wanting to listen to two
sopping wet missionaries this past Wednesday (but a high- walking in the rain
with my companion). AND having one of our investigators who was supposed to be
baptized last week disappear... interesting....
Can I just express that God is still a God of miracles!
Every day in our area is so short (less than 4 hours every day) but our success
has not waivered a bit. President Chaparro in our incoming interviews for the
office said that the miracles we see in our area will be a direct result from
the work we do in the offices. This morning my mind was taken to the scripture
in D&C 35 so often used to describe missionaries. “Wherefore I call upon
the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash
the nations by the power of my Spirit.” I know without a doubt that I have been
overly blessed to be able to work in the offices and then still get to see the
hand of the lord work salvation in the lives of others.
"For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I
will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name.
And whoso shall ask it in my name in faith, they shall
castout devils; they shall heal the sick; they shall cause the blind to receive
their sight, and the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak,and the lame to
walk." (D&C 35)
It’s true that when we first come on our missions, you may
be weak and unlearned, but when we put our trust and faith in the Lord I am
amazed by how we so quickly become “exceedingly valiant for courage, and
also for strength and activity…and true at all times in whatsoever thing you
are entrusted.”
And to think about what the Lord has entrusted me
with….the salvation of His children living in the Argentina Salta
Mission. What a great
responsibility. I am so grateful to
be here. I am so grateful to be in
this service. I am so thankful for
what I am doing.
I love you
all so much!
Thank you
for all that you do for me.
Until Next
Week!
Elder Devin G. Hampton
PS My companion would like it to be made know that he lives
in Syracuse Utah NOT VERNAL!
