One does not simply Hie to Kolob!

Dear Family,

It was a great week this week. We worked our TAILS off. And it paid off as well. We got 11 new investigators this week! We have really been blessed in our finding efforts. We make sure that we are talking to everyone, making sure that we give everyone a chance to hear the gospel. We have been praying and fasting specifically to find the elect, and let me tell you, the promise made in 2 Nephi 32:9, ..."pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul." It is a true promise. The Lord is consecrating our performance that we might be a tool in His hands to bring forth His mighty purposes.

We haven't been able to meet with Romeris for a while. Satan is working with her. But that's ok. We can help out. We are meeting with her on Wednesday to set a new baptismal date with her and to help her know for sure that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God. Sending a couple prayers her way would be awesome. She really wants to know the truth, but she has to open herself up to feel it. She has made AMAZING steps, and is almost there. She is at the steepest part of the mountain, but once she gets to the top, it will all be worth it.

Dulce told us for sure that she would be at church. She said, "Yeah, we don't have anything planned..." Well apparently going and touring Eastern State Penitentiary in downtown Philly was an appropriate way to worship the Lord. Sending a few prayers her way would work wonders as well. We think that her boyfriend Juan might be what is keeping her from coming to church. We need to know what we need to do to help them both realize that the Sabbath day is a Holy Day. It isn't just another day.

Mom and Dad, thanks for helping me realize what the Sabbath really is. It took not letting us watch certain movies, listen to certain music, not wearing certain clothes, and a ton of other things, but I understand know how much it has influenced my life. It isn't about keeping the white shirt and tie on. It is about respecting and worshiping the Lord. We worship Him best by keeping His commandments, and living the way that He would want us to live.

Well there is that rant. We continue to find and teach. The baptizing part will come very soon. I know it. I love you all so much! This work is true. Through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind can be saved. Not just Mormons. Not just Christians, all mankind. We are the vessels in which people can come unto Christ and exercise his infinite Atonement. I have a huge testimony of that. Love you. Over and Out..
