I don't know bout you guys but I am kinda sick of this whole time crunching thing every week I write :) by the way, if you have sent me a written letter at some point on my mission and you did not receive a written letter back, it's because I lost the envelope with your address on it.... specifically my friend Kelly C. Sorry K! She wrote me twice and I lost the envelope with the address on it twice... I wrote the letters though so now I can beg for an address, ask mom to do recon or read them to her when I see her. That is Crazy Cause the whole mission is going by WAY TOO FAST!
Anyway, this week was full of really cool stuff. For starters, we learned that Shantell is moving, still in the ward but out of our area. Bummer but still get to see her progress and COME TO CHURCH! :D also, speaking of Shantell, life is still rough and Derald isn't getting out as soon as we hoped. After hearing her talk a bout everything that is going on in life, I had the most out of the blue but clear question come to mind. "Do you believe that the Book of Mormon is true?" I asked her the question anticipating the response. after thinking bout it for a short while she said, "yes." We followed up for clarification, "Do you believe that it is from God?" she re affirmed her testimony again with, "yes." I felt the spirit bare testimony to me that she knew it, and I knew that God knew it! I bore my testimony and shared how I learned that for myself. it was not an event. It was a process, it took time, it took patience. but with every word you read in that divine book you will always feel the spirit of the Lord present. always. She was so touched and clearly changed. It is so incredible to me that the Lord knows us individually.
I know the church is true and that god loves me. and you. and them. and us. The gospel is True :) in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith
love
Elder Trey
