Dear Family and Friends,
Hello all of you I hope you are doing wonderful this past week because I had an excellent week. Family I hope you have made it safe home from Horseshoe Lake. I was praying for you all week that everyone would come home safe and sound. I hope you are all now safe. I received your package of cookies it was wonderful. Thank you.
This past week my companion and I have worked hard to help the people in our area prepare for the ordinances of the gospel. We did lots of tracting and went by and visited many people in the area.We worked hard to visit many of the less-active members and recent converts. We gave a lesson to Bro. Montoya on the blessings the Lord gives us and taught him how the Lord will help us keep all his commandments 1 NE 3:7. He will help us accomplish all things. We invited him to church and asked how we can better help him. He says he is just dealing with some things but that we are free to come by and visit him. We called him Sunday morning to invite him to church but he did not come. Maybe next week he will come to church. My studies have been progressively getting better this past week. I stopped studying for myself and started studying for the people the Lord will put in front of me. Studies are going wonderful . I am studying from Preach My Gospel and truly feasting from the scriptures. The work is going Forth, We can do it! ONWARD WITH MIGHT Elder Durfee
