Hi Mom!
My week has been good! We have a few
investigators going to church. One is going to get baptized this
Saturday hopefully. He is the rock star. We had a talent show this
week as missionaries so that members could bring friends. It turned
out really good. Me and my companion sang a song that I played on the
guitar. Our investigator also sang. It was fun. We decided to do an
activity for the zone. We have been focusing a lot on Christlike
attributes! So we printed out an activity that there is in Preach my
Gospel and had the missionaries fill it out. At the end of the change
we will have everyone do it again to see how we have improved. We
talked about a few other things as well. I really like the talk this
last conference by Elder Kevin W. Pearson, "Stay by the tree".
We actually put a quote from that talk on the activity that we handed
out to the zone. The quote is "Once we enter into covenants with
God, there is no going back. Giving in, giving up, and giving out are
not options. In the kingdom of God, there is a standard of excellence
for exaltation. It requires valiant discipleship! There is no room
for average or complacent disciples. Average is the enemy of
excellence, and average commitment will prevent you from enduring to
the end." The Savior clearly stated what he wanted from us when
he said, "Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I
say unto you, even as I am."-3 Nephi 27:27. We must all become
like Christ and live the standard of excellence that he has given, so
that when he comes, like it says in Moroni 7:48, “We shall see Him
as he is.”
Christ lives! He came and will come again. "Our
daily discipleship will determine our eternal destiny!" by Kevin
W. Pearson. Love you and hope you have a great week!
Elder Peterson
