Hello everyone!!
I feel really different in a good way. Some small cirumstances have changed, nothing to worry about but simply requiring me to change how I enjoy my mission. This last week we had transfers and Im staying in my area, again! what? Still living in the same house and we have new Elders living with us. Their names are Stanley and Mason, two giant goofballs and lovers of Pokemon and Star Wars; ahh, now I feel at home now, haha. Just kidding, always did, but I love getting to know them, working alongside them, and really growing in the mission.
Again, I mention and talk to you all about how our Heavenly Father can always see everything in front of Him all at once, and because we are His children, He knows our potential and what we can become. If you have ever walked around with a blindfold, you feel pretty nervous youre going to fall and crash and hurt yourself. But then there is someone holding our hand and whispering to us to come this way or that way. It is very hard to hear sometimes if we arent letting ourselves listen or if it is loud everywhere. We had an experience with this with our zone on saturday where some missonaries were blindfolded and kept following the loud noise that was being made. At the same time, there was another, more quiet and harder to hear amongst the loud. While 4 of the missionaries remained in confusion, one heard another more quiet and decided to follow. Eventually he was led to the waters of baptism, signifying that he had made it!
Out here, our mission is more than to preach the word of God. Our mission is very specific. We inviteothers to come unto Christ by HELPING THEM receive the RESTORED Gospel through faith inJesus Christ AND His Atonement,repentance, Baptism, Receiving the GIFT of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Thats all, inviting them to make those changes in their lives that while they cant see the outcome, we promise the blessings to them, they excersize their agency and we guide them to start receiving their salvation. Notice how it is the START, not the end. There is always more that Heavenly Father has for us with the understanding of the Plan of Salvation. I love my call to do this, and really invite everyone to align their will to the Lord's to help their lives more and see those blessings.
I dont have anymore time but I love you all and let us work together all to find our brothers and sisters who do not have this knowledge.
Elder Newman
