Dear family-
Well the highlight of this week was a baptism of a young man named Gerson. The last companionship had prepared him the past two weeks and we came in and finished him. His Mom, two sisters and cousin were baptized last year (a few weeks ago). And although they didn´t do so all at once, now his fam has hopped on the gravy train with biscuit wheels- destination: celestial kingdom. They´re a great family and it´s been good this week to get to know and be accepted by our brothers and sisters in this part of the vineyard. With every transfer it´s tough to leave some behind but it´s such a blessing to meet new people and my love for this church family and others just grows and grows.
Training is going pretty smoothly. But we´ve gotta work harder to help these citizens understand that Christ´s gospel was restored and/or to make them feel that the gospel will bless them if they accept it and go to church.
Dad- Thank you, Your emails never fail. Is Uncle John´s close to the Ruf´s? If so be careful not to bonk your head.
Jor- What´s Blendtec/Vitamix? a blender/crockpot/microwave/gym all in one?
Nat- Thanks! I´ll get my drivers license number to ya next week!
I haven´t read the January Ensign but I´ve been reading the November Conference issue this week and WOWEE the Spirit of God like a fire is burning within me.
Family before my mission I knew that the church was true & correct, but I know deeper now what it means to be true, that it´s real. The Book of Mormon is ancient records of God-inspired people translated by Joseph Smith who saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Obedience to the laws and ordenances of the gospel will unite us in God´s presence because Jesus Christ was chosen before the world´s creation to save and redeem us and everyone else. And He fulfilled His mission. He lives.
until next week!
I love you
Elder Michael Gagon
