Well the angels helped cure me. I peeled a lot. It was like snake skins. Good memories. Luckily we could work a lot more this week and it was ok. We are teaching lots of people, but i don't know how well they are receiving the message, so we will probably be looking for lots of new people.
There is nothing that new to report and there is a video of my comp with all the interesting stories from the week, so i thought i would just talk a little about the mission here in this email because no one really told me anything about it before i came. So the mission is lots of work. Lots of people asked me what i would be doing on my mission and I did not know how to explain it. To explain that, we, as missionaries, invite everyone to come unto Christ. The way we do it is by trying to talk with lots of people, as many as we can, and teach them the doctrine of Christ. We teach them to have faith in Jesus Christ, to repent (or in other words to make permanent changes for the better), to be baptized by the power and authority of God, to receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and then to endure with all of these things until the end of our lives here on earth. At the beginning of my mission I do not think that i understood it all that well. Now that I have been here for a little bit, I know that it is by learning the doctrine of Christ we can really change our lives if we choose to do so. Sometimes it is hard, but it is always worth it. Christ is always waiting for us to come unto Him and be healed and strengthened. He will always help us and is always waiting for us. John 14:27. Jesus gives us the peace that we cannot find in the world alone. I know He gives us this peace. I know it is something that we all want and that we can all obtain. I know that we have the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints today on the earth and that we can find Him if we look. Also once we have found Him, we must then turn and help others to find Him. If we love Him, we will feed His sheep. I know my Savior lives. I know He helps me everyday. I know that we can repent and change and leave behind past mistakes and feel at peace with ourselves and with other people. I know that we can help other people to understand the teachings of Jesus and to find the peace that we so fully enjoy. I love you all and hope you can all trust your burdens to Jesus! Have a great week and just keep swimming!
