Family and Friends,
I am vey sorry if my last E-mail didnt get to you. I sent it to my E-mail. Well to answer you mother i have seen each elder you asked me about. I have seen each elder a few times, i dont see Elder Johnston much, but i have talked to him a few times but not as much as i would have liked. Candace sent me a letter, and it was great. NOW, i love you all very very much and i am greatful for you packages, but remember what scares me most about Georgia is getting fat, but every time i get a package now that same fear shoots strait to my heart, i have tons of candy and treats, and i have given away even more. I love you all but letters and healthy treats are fine. :). I have been able to see Elder Biddulph alot because he is singing in the choir, so i sit by him and last night we had a devotional and i sat with him and we talked for like 15 min before the meating started. It was so uplifting, we just talked about what we have learned here about being a servant of the lord and what we want to accomplish in our missions and things of that nature it was really great. Last night we heard from Elder Per G. Malm, of the second quorum of seventy, it was great. He is super funny, he talked about living up to expectations and that if we do what the LORD asks, stay true to our covenants, and Trust in the LORD we will live up to expectations. He told a story of how two missionaries were walking through a park toward their car when they noticed an Atheist rally was going on. They ignored it and walked to their car. one Elder said he physically unable to get into his car because he knew he couldnt stand by and not do anything, his companion agreed and they walked right through the crowd and up to the stage, when the leader of the rally noticed them he stoped talking. The Elders got up on the stage, each bore their testimony, gave the mic back to the really leader and left. As the elders were leaving the crowed started clapping for them. When they got to the car they looked back toward the crowed, the crowed was much smaller, their were many people their that were just joining in but werent really part of the Atheist group. I cant help but imagine the many people who were saved from the influence of satan because of the courage of that single elder. This scripture came to my mind after i heard this story, "Fear not, for the LORD thy GOD is with thee". The LORD is with all missionaries in such a special way, if i keep that in mind I can be like this missionary and litterally go and deliver people from the power of satan.
Darren,
D-bo, study the scriptures. Pray every day to feel the LORD's love, and to know if the god lives, if joseph smith was a prophet, if the book of mormon is true, then you will know that his church has been restored today. This is what we teach investigators, to testify to them you must know yourself!
