So a common game we play on Pday lately is Revenge. We
play it all the time because everyone can play. It is the same as knockout but
whoever wins has to get everyone out. So if the person that got you out gets
out you are back in. In makes for some long games but it is such a good work
out because you are running so much. At the end of the day we had a guy call us
who we had given a Book of Mormon in passing a couple days earlier. He was
genuinely interested and we were able to go meet with him and teach the whole
restoration. He said he would read and pray! Has a lot of real intent in his
attitude so we are excited.
I have been memorizing a lot of scriptures lately and it
is making me so much more happy. It's kind of cool how the scriptures can
actually enlighten your mind.
Working on memorizing all of these scriptures that go
with each doctrinal point we have to memorize.
(see attachment Image) It has
been fun so far. You should memorize these because you can answer any doctrinal
question through these.
On Wednesday we had district meeting and Elder Childress
asked if I would give a training on Charity and as I was studying for it I
found a really cool scripture about love and how God works.
3 Nephi 27:15.
When I read this I was just think about why I am drawn
towards Jesus Christ. In my head I would have to say I am drawn to him because
of the love He shows me. Christ says that he will draw all men to him according
to the power of the father. God's power is love. No wonder charity is greater
than all others to have at the last day.
Sharon Burns asked us to baptized!!! She is being
baptized on May 28th! WOOT WOOT! We are so excited to see her take this step
forward! She continues to amaze us with her knowledge every time we teach her.
After that lesson with Sharon we went and taught Mary Pruess
and her daughter Anna. Mary is the woman that took us to dinner before we ever taught her or anything like that. She just thinks the missionaries are awesome
people. We taught them the whole first lesson and the spirit was definitely
present.
Friday we got to go to seminary at 6 in the morning. It
made me not miss early morning seminary even a little bit. We got to do a
Q&A about missionary work and missions. It was kind of fun to answer their
questions.
Friday we were giving service at a local thrift store and
there was this teenager girl there who was looking for a book to take to a book
exchange at school. We told her we would give her a Book of Mormon for free to
take. Apparently she posted something about it on Instagram because a girl in
our ward texted us and said that she saw her friend's post and texted her about
it. The girl now wants to learn more and we have an appointment on Friday!
As I have prayed these last couple nights before bed I
can feel Heavenly Father's love for me so strong. It is a marvelous feeling.
God lives and His son Jesus Christ is our savior. Don't ignore them for things
of this world that don't matter. Treasures in heaven are more important!
Love
- Elder Kelly
