Dear
All,
So yesterday was amazing! We had Elder Nash from the 70 come and talk to us and it was just so amazing! We just got hit in the face multiple times with the Spirit! It was great! The Spirit was so strong! The way he described it is "It just starts raining indoors with revelation and the Spirit." It was just amazing! He taught us on the Atonement and what Jesus would do if he was here in Nebraska. He also talked to us a bit on finding, which is absolutely the hardest part about missionary work, at least for me anyways. He told us that when we go and find that we should have the faith and confidence that Heavenly Father will put people in your path. Heavenly Father will help you find people and He will also help people find you. You just have to been get over your own personal barrier and talk to them. He also told us to start living our every day lives as if we were preparing to take the sacrament. Like in everything we do, we should have the mind set that we are doing it for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Inspired man. I know that if I apply these teaching in my missionary work and my everyday life, I will find success in all things.
Besides yesterday this past week was pretty good. Been getting closer to my companion and the other elders in North Platte. We've been working really hard on finding because most of the people we work with just haven't been progressing. So we were heading to an appointment and we saw some guy walking down the side walk and decided to talk to him. His name was Danny and he gave us his address and we went the next day to his house to see him. We went over the next day and his brother Nicky came out and said he wasn't there and that they were Catholic so they weren't interested. I then asked him if there was any service he would like us to do for him and he said he would like us to help him with his yard and then said we could teach him afterward. He said he had only see mean Mormons and that we were nice and stuff. So we did the service but he's been busy so we didn't get the lesson in, but we set an appointment up with him for Wednesday so we are planning to see him tomorrow. I feel like the Lord has lead us to him through his brother Danny, so I have high hopes, but as long as we are doing our best, he still has his agency and we are successful as long as we are doing our best.
Well I'm out of time! I love you all and hope everything is well! Everyone keep up the good work! I know the Lord will bless us so long as we do our best to serve Him and to keep his commandments. He loves us more then we can ever comprehend. My testimony grows every day out here! I am so glad to be serving a mission!
With tender love and care,
