Week 41: The Work is Moving Forward

May 22, 2017



   Well oh boy this was a great week! The time just goes by so fast, it feels like I emailed everyone yesterday! But this was a wonderful week though! The Valley is really growing on me and I know I will continue to enjoy serving here more and more! 

   The work is definitely moving forward here. When I got here, there weren't a lot of people that we were teaching but we are finding a lot more people to teach. It was an awesome miracle to see because at church this week a less active lady brought her nonmember boyfriend and he really liked it! He said he wanted to take the missionary discussions so we are pretty excited. 

   We were also able to speak in sacrament meeting in one of our wards about missionary work. It went really well and right after a lady came up to us and told us about a friend she has that is a member but hasn't been to church for years. She told us that he wants to go to the temple for the first time and she said she would invite him to her house so we could teach him the lessons there! It was perfect so I am also pretty excited about that. 

    One fun part of the week was being able to go on exchanges with the Elders serving in La Jara. I went with Elder Conrad down to his area and it was an awesome day! Elder Conrad has been out for one transfer longer than me and is an awesome guy! He is from Utah. We were able to have a very positive day and I was able to attend one of their district meetings. La Jara is really small! Most of the towns in the San Luis Valley are very small yet there are quite a few members. Members of the Church were able to settle some parts of the Valley so there are a ton of members in Sanford. Pretty funny because everyone has to ask their parents if they are related before they date.The missionaries serving here are great and I am excited to be able to serve with them. 

    Our new mission President, president Stevenson is coming in July (I think) and sent us a letter and he and his wife sound awesome! I am so excited, though I will miss President Rehm a lot! 

   This week was one of the most spiritual on my mission as well. I just was able to feel the Spirit a lot as I testified of the joys that come from Jesus Christ and His gospel. I really do love the gospel and have a strong testimony that it is the way to happiness! Happiness will never be found in wickedness while it will always be found in righteous living!

   It was a wonderful week and I am grateful to be serving here. I hope everyone will have a fun week and choose the right!
    
Love,
Elder Morgan
