Hello family and friends!! Happy Labor Day!! I looked at my calendar this morning and realized that I have now been on my mission for 5 months... so CRAZY!!! Well this week was just slow. We had a lot of appointments cancelled and so we had time to just sweat and walk... Me and Saka are with a new missionary right now from the Philippines MTC. He came early and President decided to put him with us until the end of the transfer. It has been very interesting and difficult working in a trio, but everything happens for a reason, right. It rained all week, so we found ourselves in the apartment a lot. I was able to read a lot and now almost finished with Alma. I love every chapter I read and learn something new every time I open up the Book Of Mormon. Well I will give a brief update on the 7 catholic sisters we are teaching. They are wonderful and they all love the missionaries. We have met twice and shared about the restoration and have read 3 Nephi 11 with them. They love it and have no objections. They know that the Book of Mormon is the word of god. The hard part is just getting them to come to church on Sunday. They love their Catholic church, and prefer to go there. We will see if we can get them to church this week!! Pray for them please!! Well, I hope you all have a great week. Just know I love you all and pray for you all.
Spiritual thought: Alma 48:11-- This is talking about the Anti-Nephi-Lehis.
They made a covenant to never fight again. They were faced with trials and they had so many chances to fight and protect themselves. They knew the lamanites hated them, and they knew that they wanted to kill them. Well they knew the importance of covenants and their commitment to their Heavenly Father. They would rather die than break the covenant and promise they had made with God. Well brothers and sisters we too have made covenants with our Heavenly Father. I know that we all understand the significance and importance, and if we dont then we need to make sure we do. My challenge is for all of you to study about the anti nephi lehis and pray to have the strength to keep your covenants and to understand the importance of them. We will all have times when satan tempts us to break a covenant, but do we love the Lord enough and do we have the strength to keep them. I love my Heavenly father and my Savior Jesus Christ! I am grateful for the covenants i have made with them. I love this church and I love my mission even though it is just very hard!!
