I´ve gotta say that the mission just keeps getting better and better and better. This week we had a lot of success. Ended up finding 4 new investigators and the best part about it is that one of them is a family!!! And they actually want ask us to meet with them instead of the other way around XD You´d be surprised how nice that can be sometimes bahahaha. We´re actually heading out to a Zone P-Day so I won´t be able to write a big letter and I was smart and forget my camera USB Connection to send pics soooooo ya, double for next week! We also are having a lot of success with the members. We´re finally getting them a lot more excited about missionary work. Elder Jensen has been handing out these little prayer cards to people so that they can pray for our success...having 6 investigators in Church on Sunday makes members start to believe in themselves and us a little bit more haha. The faith of the members will be the key to this work moving forward. I also want to bear testimony of Humility and a couple other things. Humility is something I have been trying to work on so much. It can be incredibly difficult, but I know that we can acheive those things when we put aside our wants and needs and follow the Lord´s. Also, We Testify of Truth every day out here and it is interesting to see how quickly one can meander from the truth with just a few simple "adjustments". I really liked what I heard about with Dad and being asked to preach "Pure Doctrine" Satan doesn´t deceive people by straight up lying to them. He adds little bits to the truth we already know and soon enough those little adjustments take us miles and miles away from our destination. Just as President Uchtdorf speaks about in his talk about airplanes....(kindof general I forget the name, but you all know what I am talking about XD.) These are the last days. The lord is going through his vineyard with his servants. As members of his Church we made a promise at Baptism that we would preach the word. Keep that promise. The Holy Ghost can not dwell in unclean tabernacles. Your thoughts are equal to your actions. The action cannot occur without the thought. If you want him around don´t pollute your mind with those things that will take away the opportunity of feeling the spirit. I´ve learned that if someone really wants something they will do it. We hear all the time how many people "want to come to church" Or "want to be better people" and then they don´t do it. If you want the companionship of the Holy Ghost you know what to do. You want to follow the Lord? Do what he says. You may see some missionaries or even members try and preach principles of what they do, not of what the gospel says. Like Elder Holland says, (Paraphrasing) "The words will be shut up in their mouths" Truth is 100%. Right when it goes to 99% it is still a lie, even if most of it is truth. Sometimes the truth can be rough...Lots or Germans are blunt...I think I am getting a little bit blunt XD Ah well, stick to the truth. Keep your heads on straight, have fun, and remember, This Gospel is True!!
Tschüss
Elder Lee
