May 25: 20 months
Well today marks 20 months on the mission and it has been nice having a
companion who has the same time on the mission as me. We are much more
focused because as everyone knows the closer you get to coming home the
harder it is to stay focused. It is really nice that we are pushing each
other to stay focused and finish with No Regrets! We say another
miracle this week with two more baptisms that we found just one week
ago. It is unbelievable how blessed we are. I have never felt so strong
on the mission. I pray that I finish with these feelings that I am
having right now. I am learning an awful lot about service in the Lords
kingdom and how to efficiently and effectively serve. Lessons that I
will no doubt carry with me for the rest of my life. I am reading Jesus
the Christ alot now and have been learning quite abit of things that I
have learned before but never really thought about. Its a great aid in
knowing more about Christs role in everything. I was rather shocked to
get the news of Uncle Freds passing and I cant imagine the power that is
behind adam during this time of trial. All I know is there is without a
doubt a greater force in his teaching and a greater love for the
people. I know that the Brown family will be forever blessed because of
Adams service during this time. What a great privelege it is to be
blessed with the knowledge that Uncle Fred is still very much alive and
is merely awaiting a joyful return of his loved ones to never again be
plagued with illness or heartache. The Plan Of Salvation for those who
have served is by far the best lesson shared to those we teach. No
greater spirit can be felt than when testifying that indeed families can
be together forever. I know now more than ever that this life is just a
time of preparation and a greater opportunity to learn and grow. I will
continue to do everything I can to finish my mission as the Lord would
expect me to finish! I love you all and am praying continually for
yall!
