Elder P is from Manti Utah. He has been out for 13 months. The best way to describe him is ummm Daniel Benion yep that is who he is exactly pretty much hahaha and little bit of dad in there too. hahahahaha there we go.
The package was fun it had candy, ties, and peanut butter pretzels and chocolate covered pretzels and cookie butter from Trader Joe’s. It was a care package from Trader Joe’s pretty much and a toy plane and some other stuff, oh money for the two of us, it was fun. I love them they are awesome people. It just really confused me, Jones, hmmm I’m not a Jones, who is this? oh wait yes I am! Right, hahaha so yeah, yay.
We had two guys just show up at church yesterday, we had seen them two days before and they told us they would be at church. Now I have faith in all things, but I also have been told that very often before and had them not show up. But they did show up and it was really great. Yes, it was for Easter, and no they don't want to learn more and yes one smelled of marijuana, but they did what they said they would so that is great haha. Hope ya have another crazy but wonderful week.
We did service this week where we got to destroy furniture. It was a very therapeutic experience. We also had exchanges this week with our Zone Leaders, since my companion is the District leader, and it was an amazing exchange. We set a baptismal date, found a new investigator, and found a potential that the next day turned into another new investigator. So I love exchanges and I know that they are some of the best training you can receive on a mission.
Scripture for the week
3 Nephi 22: 13 which reads
"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children"
This is why we missionaries are out serving the Lord, is that we can teach those who need Christ, and then that their children will have peace and will grow up in the gospel. I have seen that as people learn of the gospel they have a peace come over them and they know that this will bless them and in turn bless their kids now or the kids they will have. So this is why we need members to help in the missionary work because there is a staggering amount of missionaries some 89,000 or so but there are 15 million members that will be a greater difference than every single missionary we have out at this time or in the next 10 years. So as President Monson said, “Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord’s vineyard to bring souls unto Him. He has prepared the means for us to share the gospel in a multitude of ways, and He will assist us in our labors if we will act in faith to fulfill His work."
I know as we do this that we will see the Lord's hand in our efforts and many will come unto Christ through the waters of baptism.
Love
Elder Hyde
