Missouri Floods








Hey everybody! Had a pretty good week. No need to worry about the floods. So far we haven't been affected by it. Some of the fields looked like lakes for a couple of days though. No damage done really. It might start up again this week. We'll see.

This week was pretty good. We dropped 9 of our investigators. We now are only teaching Jose, Mike, and this lady named Karen. Mike isn't really keeping commitments. Jose is still coming to church, but hasn't been reading the scriptures very much. I got him an auxiliary cord for his truck so he can listen to it in the car while he drives. Hopefully he does. 
We had pretty good success with some less active people this week. 

I'm probably getting transferred next week it sounds like. 

On Saturday Elder Rasband and Martino are coming to our mission! I'm looking forward to that. 


So how has everyone been doing on their ponderizing?

I have been a slacker, but I am going to start up again. 

Elder Durrant in his talk said: "You might ask, 'Why should I do this?' I would answer that we are living in a time of ever-spreading evil. We cannot just accept the status quo and be fed ugly words and sinful visuals almost everywhere we turn and do nothing in response. We must fight back. When our minds are filled with uplifting thoughts and images, when we “always remember him,”8 there is no room left for filth and trash."

This is my ponderizing scripture for the week:

Mosiah 4: 30 

But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not.

Love you all
