Hey y'all,
Wait for it.....
Q: What do you get when you grow marijuana on the Stake farm?
A: High Priests
They get better every week huh?
Well here is a quick run down of what happened this week....,
Elder Alder (my new companion) and I met up on Wednesday and went back down to Lima and that was about all that happened this week.
Talk to you next week!
Just Kidding. This is really what happened.
Elder Alder goes home in two transfers ( I will probably only have one more companion after him... scary) and he is staying pretty strong for being so close to going home and is actually a really funny guy. It always makes the work so much better when you have a companion with a good sense of humor, but we are complete opposites. He likes video games and I like sports but for some reason it works out. We found 2 new investigators this week in the form of 2 different part member families and are now teaching them!! We also set a baptismal date with Chet, our 82 year old investigator and Fred, our 18 year old investigator. Alan Stant has been sick the past week but is still on date for next month and still progressing well. It seems like everyone out here is getting the flu and I think I am getting it now as well, or the chicken that I cooked last night wasn’t quite cooked right, I guess we will see! Other than that I really cant think of anything else of interest that has happened in the past week, soooo yeah!
I know I have shared this scripture before but I will share it again. Ether 12:6 has truly come to be one of the most meaningful scriptures to me in the past year. I have a testimony that God teaches us through our trials and that we grow so much through the trials of our faith and afterwards we see the fruits of it all and realize just how much God helps us through those trials and our faith is strengthened. You see it so much throughout the scriptures and you see it every day in life. The story of the brother of Jared crossing the sea is a good example of this in Ether 6:1-12. Think of the fierce winds from the Lord as the trials that we have and how they push us towards the promised land or to better and brighter things.
I know God is real And I know that he loves each and everyone of us unconditionally. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that he is walking through all of the experiences we have in our lives, good or bad, by our side ready to pick us up when we fall. I am so grateful for this knowledge and for all the opportunities that God has given me and most specifically the opportunity to be a missionary.
I love you all!
Dont forget to read your scriptures and pray :)
Until Next week,
Elder Frandsen
