Hey mom!
Thanks for the fantastic birthday
wish! I will be sure to enjoy the pizza
:)
The work has slowed a bit in our
sector. The other elders are on fire
though! I’m super happy for them because
last cambio it was kind of the other way around. BUT, we have a renewed desire
to work with members to help them help themselves, their family, and their friends
learn and share the gospel.
It has proven to be a slow process
but the Missionary bear also gives them motivation. The kids want him to bring him home to their
house but he only comes if you are going to help the missionaries.
Our investigators are all out of
town so we work with a lot of less active people who did come to church. I
actually gave a talk this Sunday because most those who were assigned talks
were out of town. I talked about how we
are in a fight for our lives. The talk was centered around a scripture found in
Mosiah 20:11: “And it came to pass that
the people of Limhi began to drive
the Lamanites before them; yet they were not half so numerous as the
Lamanites. But they fought for their
lives, for their wives and for their children; therefore they exerted
themselves and like dragons did they fight.
We are fighting for our eternal
reward!! We are enlisted into the army
of God upon our baptism and the end goal is reaching eternal life with our
families. Satan is very clever and in
many ways his disguise is not very obvious.
He can deceive us to thinking what is good is in fact evil and what is evil
is in fact good. He is here trying to
tear down the souls of men and women and families. I am personally learning that we need to be
more aware and cautious of what we do, what we see and what we hear. We have Christ on our side. Nothing is worth losing the opportunity to
live with our families forever. Nothing!!!
Love,
Elder Watts
