Well, this was a great week.
Miracles rained down from above, people just showed up out of nowhere. And I
learned a ton of lessons.
Elder Campbell and I trained a new
group of missionaries and their trainers. Then we finished the first week of
the transfer. The highlight of the week was a kid named R. He is from California,
and we were referred to him by the missionaries in Hurricane. He has been going
to church for weeks, loves the Book of Mormon, and when we didn't give him a
baptismal date the first lesson we had with him, he told us he wanted to be
baptized. He will be baptized this Saturday.
One thing I learned this week, show
don't tell. It applies to writing, teaching, being a friend and leading.
Show missionaries how to teach baptism, don't just tell. Show love; don't just
say I love you. Show Heavenly Father by our works we want to repent, don't just
ask for forgiveness.
I feel like this week, my
relationship with Heavenly Father was deepened. We went through a little rough
patch this week, but I definitely felt the power of the atonement strengthen
and help me. It was incredible. I am a different person this week than I was
last week. Hopefully now I am more of a teammate, and more of an instrument in
God's hands. This week in my prayers, I have really felt Heavenly Father
teaching me things in my mind and in my heart. Evening prayers is like going to
school now with the master teacher. It’s even more meaningful and powerful as I
have applied the things to my work that I've learned on my knees. I know God
lives. He will talk to you if you but come to Him.
I love you so much! Pictures in
white are coming soon.
Love,
Elder Michael Stewart
