Climb the Mount (Week#5 Transfer #10)

Hey everyone! This week has been an inspiring one and a cool one, I want to say how cool it is to see so much going on! We had a good week and had a really great miracle where we engaged our ami Kael to baptism, he is so cool and has seen God bless his life ever since he met us and wants to come closer to Him. So I hope everything will go well with him, he really is a cool person.  Besides that I've been seeing tons of miracles all over our district with amis who've been investigating the church for over 10 years all the sudden decide to be baptized, to hearts being touched by prayers with people on the street, to members going crazy and introducing the gospel to others, its really cool.  I've seen how our goal this year of 250 baptisms really is going to happen, I've never seen so many amazing things happen in my vicinity in such a short amount of time and that's just started so I'm super excited. Anyway, cool things! 

Going native...

This week we got to go on 2 exchanges and have district meeting;  it's so fun to spend time with the other missionaries and work with all kinds of different people, and we had a lot of really great conversations and touching moments throughout the week just going and talking to people on the street.  District meeting was really a neat experience, we all prepared a lot and shared and the spirit was really strong, I learned quite a lot myself about a few things.  One of those was about climbing our own mountains.  We read a talk called "Rise to your call" by President Eyring, and it talks about going to the Lord and then fulfilling what we need to do.  I really liked the message on prayer, and really seeking, just like Nephi and other prophets, to go into the mountain and pray.  Well, despite the name of this place as the Mountain of Marsan... there is no mountain, but we make do! :)  

The crew at The Mont

I've really seen my prayers become more meaningful as I seek to just talk with my Heavenly Father. So I invite you all to take a moment, and talk to Him like you mean it.  Something our member Lemuel said at church was that we need to take a moment each day also to just be quiet, that it's then where we can reflect on our lives and all we have been given.  I tried that this morning and it was cool.  So that's another cool thought :) anyways love you all and have a great week as always! This next week will be transfers and I'm excited to see what happens. 

amicalement,
