These weeks out here don't feel like 7 days. More like
three days or something. I seriously can't believe it's already P-day again.
This week has been great though!! I won't say much this week because I'm tying
to play some sports. I didn't play last week because E-mailing took so long.
Kind of stinky but like two hours after I emailed last
week Raymond and Nathaniel dropped us and said they weren't ready for this big
of change. Elder Katoa and I feel like we might have overwhelmed them and
didn't allow them to first gain more of a testimony. We went over that night
and talked about how they were feeling and they said to give them a week and we
can talk again. They said they would both read from the Book of Mormon for the
week though so hopefully the spirit has pricked their hearts some more while
reading.
Susan Thaxton is an investigator with a really rough past
but has turned her life around to helping people! She has so much desire to do
good and seems to already have a lot of the same beliefs as we do! She
expressed to us how she hates working on Sunday's because she feels like it
should be the Lord's day where you only do what he desires on that day... We
never even had mentioned keeping the Sabbath day holy prior to her expressing
that! The field is truly white! Susan has been reading from the Book of Mormon
and she is already in Mosiah with the same excitement about the book as someone
reading Harry Potter or something. It is so great teaching her because she is
SO prepared!
Study is too short. I feel like 1 hour of personal study
needs to be more like two! I am reading in Alma right now and I feel like I am
watching ESPN's top ten plays of missionary work or something because every
story is like "and thousands came unto the understanding of their
savior". Elder Katoa and I keep trying to find what we can do to be more
like Alma and the sons of Mosiah. I have been studying a lot about self-mastery
in the scriptures and it is the coolest thing ever!
You guys should try it!
I am here to tell all of you that if you think it is
crazy that Enos prayed all day then you aren't relying on the Lord enough and
you also don't know how to pray correctly. So all of you need to study prayer
from Preach My Gospel page 93-95
I know Jesus Christ is my Savior and I know he is waiting
for us all to just turn fully to him.
Love Elder Kelly
PS (if you have the missionaries over for dinner or
anything and you say you don't know anybody that could use the gospel right now
then you don't understand the atonement and also lack faith. 2 NE 2:6-8)
