Hey everyone! It’s been a great week! I love you all! Thanks
for all the prayers, emails, letters and what nots. You’re the best
M- I've
had a great week as always. I went on exchanges with Elder Michealson. I really
look up to him. He is a great missionary. My favorite thing about him is that
he is ALWAYS smiling. Like one hundred percent of the time. It was a great
exchange. It’s hard to be sad around happy people.
I-Kym is doing well. We taught her the Word of Wisdom this week and set her on baptismal date for October 10th. She is super great! Now we just need to help her make it to church more often!
R- Kind of along the same lines, I received awesome revelation on keeping the Sabbath Day Holy this week. We were talking to our ward mission leader in Stanley and told him that the work has been on a steady decline across the whole mission and even the whole country, and we've been trying to figure out what we need to do to help things pick back up. Without even thinking about it he said, “Well what we need to do is help people learn to keep the Sabbath Day Holy because that’s the counsel that the brethren have given to the whole world, so that’s what we should be focusing on right now." His faith in following the guidance of our inspired leaders was a great example to all of us. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to find out an answer, and the prophet has set it all out in front of us already.
A- I feel like the work has picked up a little this week. We found a good potential investigator in Redbridge which is really good because like literally all of our work right now has been in the Stanley ward.
C- Elder Marsden is the best. It’s crazy to think that the transfer is almost over. If they put one of us in Stanley and leave one of us in Redbridge we will only have like a week and a half left together! He's doing really well though. I'm glad to have such a great friend for a companion.
L- Lately I've been studying what it means to have a mighty change of heart. In Mosiah chapter five it talks about how the people had a change of heart to where they had no more disposition to do evil, and well I thought that sounded pretty good so I wanted to figure out how I could better apply that in my life. After studying further into King Benjamin’s Sermon, which got them to this point, I found that this mighty change comes from first keeping the commandments. So many people think that they would keep the commandments, if God helped change their hearts. When that is never how God has worked. God expects us to follow him, not be pulled along by him. Only after we start walking the path, will the path become easy. We cannot expect the change of heart to come before we give our heart to Him.
E- I love you all! Thank you for all your prayers! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Austin Cluster
