Missionary Movers and Multipliers

So this week has been pretty normal for the most part. We visited a lot of families and investigators. We didn't ride bikes because my companion broke his and we are waiting for his new bike to arrive. Don’t worry my bike is doing fine. We bought a lot of food today so we should be good for 2 weeks haha. Last Sunday me and my companion had to do a role play in front of the whole ward and teach them how to invite friends to church activities. I was really nervous but we did really good and the members enjoyed it.

This Thursday I had my 1st zone conference and it was really cool, I got to meet my old MTC friend Elder Grange and we hung out and learned a lot of stuff. One thing our Mission President said that I thought was important was that all great leaders are Multipliers...which means that they lift others around them and help them reach there full potential. At the end the conference they asked me to bear my testimony so I did a quick one. My companion liked it a lot because I only said things that "I know" to be true and he said that’s all a testimony should be and not to talk about things your grateful for. It’s ok to do that but that’s not the point of it. So that’s something interesting I learned.

I forgot to bring my camera to upload pictures but I promise that I will bring it next Monday. I hope everyone is doing good and I always say a pray for you guys every night. Before I forget…. as me and my companion were out biking we saw some people who needed some help moving their furniture into a truck so we stopped and gave them a hand. The family wanted to give us money but we declined and said we just serve people for free because we love them. So I want to thank you for bringing me every Saturday morning to help members in the church move. Even though I didn't want to most of the time, I'm glad you did and thank you again for showing me the importance of doing service for your fellow man (when you are in the service of your fellow men you are in the service of your god) I know don't say this a lot but I love you dad and I'm so thankful for everything you have taught me and I can't wait to talk to you again.
Love,
Elder Jacob DeMarco
