Hey….how was your Father’s day? I just sent you a little
something. I’m not sure when you will
get it but I hope you like it. This week was normal for the most part.
We visited with members and did a follow up with the program called ATM. Some of the members have received answers on who the individual heavenly father has prepared for them. Also what they should invite that individual too. My companion and I still have only 2 investigators we are teaching and we are going through our Area Book and visiting some of the old potential investigators. Last Sunday for MCM we got a list of names of part member families that we are going to visit and hopefully we can get a new investigator from that.
The meeting with M. Russell Ballard was GREAT! One of the things I took from him is that missionaries are apostles just with a lower case "a" . Definition as an Apostle is some who bears witness of Jesus Christ, teaches about Him and lives a righteous life. I never thought of it in that way before. Another thing I got from him was Satan tries to make the doctrine of Christ complex and confusing when in reality is very simple. So many people in the world don't really know who God is and they each have a different opinion about him. It’s our job to teach the doctrine simply and not make sure the individual we teach has a basic understanding of it. By the way all the missionaries shook hands with him and so this is the 3rd Apostle I shook hands with...how cool is that?
Weather report.......super hotttttttttt. Luckily a lot members live in the area so if we need to refill we just stop by there house and ask for some water.
I had an epiphany while tracking in the hot sun a couple of days ago. I remembered you brought me out to work with you a couple of summers ago and how hot we got from being in the truck and then running to the door to drop off a package. So I thought of you being outside most of the day like me and how we are both working in the hot sun all day haha.
Anyways thanks for the pictures and the blogs from Elder Gagne and Elder Blanchard. I promise you next Monday I’m going to send you pictures....that reminds me did you receive a picture of me from one of the members in my ward. A family called the "Rynders" said they were going to send you it so I’m wondering if you got it yet?
Talk to you next Monday. Hope everyone is doing great and tell them I love them.
Love,
Elder DeMarco
