Hello familia
This has been a good week. It's still been raining a lot. Now not
so much, but the humidity is really starting to kick in. You could
probably cut it with a butter knife. I was also able to go to the
Nauvoo temple this last week which was fantastic! Such a good time and
well needed. We did a session in the morning and then we went down and
watched the youth and some other families in the baptistry. We have one
family who is working on going to the temple who was able to go and do
baptisms which was sweet. We also had a recent convert family come down
and tour the Nauvoo area and just feel the spirit that is there. We
drove down with our ward mission leader. We got to know him better and
were able to talk about missionary work a lot and other things as well.
We were also able to pick up 2 new investigators this week as well. We
received our zone emphasis this last week from our zone leaders and it
is all about finding. Kind of a "Where's Waldo" kind of deal. I feel
good about it.
Something that i found in my studies this last week is found in
Alma 37. In versus 40 and 41 it talks about the Liahona. He explains
that the spindles would point in the right direction when they were
faithful and doing the little things. But when they forgot to be
faithful and dilligent the spindles would stop working and the miracles
would cease. We all have our own spindles in our life that point us in
the directions of life. Mainly, the Holy Ghost. It's when we remember
to keep doing the little things that it keeps working for us and we are
lead to our land of promise so to speak. But when we forget to be
faithful it stops working for us. Luckily for us, if we do forget we
can always come back and begin again and the spindles will work again. I
have definitely felt an increase in the spirit as a missionary and i
attribute a lot of it because we are constantly doing the little things
every day. Effective scripture study, prayer, going to church,
listening to good music, relying on the spirit, repenting, etc. I
testify that as we remember to do these things we will feel an increase
in the spirit and he will lead us down the path of righteousness to one
day return to live with Christ and Heavenly Father in a fullness of joy.
Love, Elder Peterson
