Savannah and Natalie and Trevor,
The biggest problem we have as missionaries is feeling like
we have a family. It is a strange thing having your family stripped from you
and then thrown into a completely different world. THE BEST THING EVER is when
as missionaries, we have the support of the ward and the families in it. There
is NOTHING more filling and more comforting then feeling like a family needs
you. Every day we are rejected and rejected and rejected and REJECTED. It is a
very difficult life, but when you have someone, or some family that ACCEPTS YOU
and what you have to teach it fills every broken piece of you and makes it easy
to go back out and try to help once again.
As a missionary, I get to taste a little bit of what Christ
Suffered. The Savior of the World, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings was
rejected, spit upon, thrown out, beaten, broken, and ultimately killed for
trying to help those whom he loved. I cannot say I know what Christ suffered,
but I do know better and will continue to know better the suffering and sacrifice
he laid down for us.
I know know know know know know know know know know that our
family is one of those families that helps missionaries. I know how Elder
Pexton, Hall, Doe, and ALL of the many missionaries that have passed through have
felt... We feed them well. they are always welcome. they are apart of our
family... Now here is the catch... ready? Savannah, if you really want to help
the missionaries keep doing all of that and then one more thing, HELP THEM FIND
PEOPLE WHO ARE READY TO RECEIVE THE GOSPEL. THEY NEED PEOPLE TO TEACH!!!!
Invite the missionaries to teach a family home evening and invite a friend who
is not a member. Invite you friends over and then call the missionaries and
tell them that you have people who want to listen to a story or message about
Jesus or the Book of Mormon. THE MISSIONARIES NEED PEOPLE TO TEACH. They need
people to help look for investigators Sunday Morning so that other people can
feel of the filling and renewing spirit of the Sacrament and LEARN about the
Savior with people and friends and neighbors their age... The Missionaries
Need Help.
The family that feeds the missionaries and helps them out at
church and is really really good friends WILL be remembered, but
The family that helps the missionaries Find, Teach, and
Baptize, will be remembered far into the ETERNITIES.
Savannah and Natalie and Trevor, the missionaries need your
help... We Need Help.
I love you guys very much... I hope you know HOW EXCITED I
AM to talk with you guys on skype and see your old faces.
Love you love you love you.
