Can you say whaaaat????
June has come and gone. As of
today I am now in the Orem Utah Mission. My former Mission President
McCune has left the mission home and is heading to his
home. President McCune has been so great. From
him I have learned so much. I love the McCunes and I know I was
initially called to the Utah Provo mission because they had be a part of
it. They have forever changed my life. My Mission President as of 8:00
today MST (mountain standard time) is President Killpack. I love President Killpack. I have not met him yet but I just love him and am so excited to meet him. I know President Killpack is called of the Lord to lead His work in this area. We will meet him tomorrow. We have been praying for him.
This week was a little crazy here and there.
We got to go to the Mt. Timpanogos temple this month. The Adventures
of Hermana McD and Hermana Mena will be told of in the coming
week... Because I apparently have forgotten to write in my journal, which helps me remember things.... So forgive me. I will improve, there
is always room for improvement.
We are working
to have organizational skills. We have been attending various
stake meetings. One meeting really had an impact on me. The stake
president was grieved. He stated, "Brother and Sisters we are in a rut!" His eyes looked around at each one of us.
He went on to
explain the great work that is around each one of us. He said it was
time to lift up our gaze. To truly dedicate ourselves to serving the
Lord. He shared of the experience his father had as a mission president
in Brazil and how he strived to be obedient to President Kimball's
counsel. As he recounted his memories of his father's devoted service
tears filled his eyes. "You must have faith of Power... Pray
to know what it is each of us should do in our own stewardship.." A
spirit filled the room.
We have a great work
to do. Do you feel an urgency? Do you see the need? There are souls to
reach out to and people to find. We must be guided by the spirit in all
things. 2 Nephi 25:23&26
As we do all things in
the name of the Lord, pray for his divine guidance, and turn over
everything unto the Lord having faith, he will weak things become
strong. He will be our support.
I invite you
all to pray today, pray to know who it is the Lord is preparing. Pray
with all the energy of heart you posses. And the Lord will bring names
to your mind, faces will come to your remembrance. And go and act in
faith. Work with the missionaries. And be not afraid for the Lord shall
direct thy ways.
Members and missionaries can see themselves in the
work as they live the gospel joyfully and as they invite others to
participate in activities, Church services, and other occasions. Capture
the Vision We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and
missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the
full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with
your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to
teach and bless those who seek Him. Elder Neil L. Andersen See Yourself
