This week went by WAY to fast.
As I said last week, we got an new Elder this week, and he's great.
His name is Elder B. Carlson, and he is from Sandy, Utah. He graduated
from West Jordan High School in 2013, and went to the U for a year to
study Mechanical Engineering. He's a great guy, and has been out on
his Mission for about 5 months. Somehow we squeezed into our
apartment, and we got a bunk bed. hahaha. Elder Carlson got top, I got
bottom. It's so funny.
We have been doing a whole lot of service, because everyone is
preparing for winter. There is no snow yet in the lower parts of the
Reservation, but Mescalero's Ski Apache Resort already is getting
snow, and it gets down to around 25 degrees after dark. Because of
Daylight Savings time, that is about 5:45 now. Anyways as Missionaries
we're lived as it says in Mosiah 2:17. I really have nothing to talk
about though, except for the fact that Jerry has a baptismal date for
this Saturday!! I am so excited for him!
I hope y'all know how blessed we are in this gospel. Everyone is in
need of this message we have. Follow the Holy Ghost, and tell everyone
the good news. I know that each person has someone that they could
invite to church this week. Someone who needs your prays. Someone who
needs the Missionaries message. I know that this is the true church. I
challenge Y'all to read the Book of Mormon more. I had a hard time
before the mission, and I know even Five minutes a day would change
your life. Pray sincerely, don't fall into the repetition we all do
sometimes. Repent of all you have done. We all need to Repent at all
times. Invite the missionaries over for dinner, and as them to teach
you the first lesson. Listen to them. Ask them for a Family Mission
plan. Have Family Home Evening. And do Geneology. It is a commandment.
I do not ask you these things, but I tell you these things for I know
they are true and I know they will bless you.
I love you all. And I say these things in the name of the Lord, Jesus
Christ, Amen.
Elder Shawn Michael Murray
