Rooster

This week was good. We went into a members house and the niece led my companion into the livingroom, "Look! Look!" When we got there, there was a rooster sitting in front of a plant eating it. They said they had four others but the mom killed them and they ate them. This transfer I'm leaving Annapolis after 6 months and I get to be companions with an elder in my MTC district! It's going to be awesome. God loves you.

Happiness

Hi everyone, this week was good, a less active we've been trying to find called us one day and asked us when church was. We told him and we set up an appointment to see him at the library. In our meeting he was telling us how he used to go the church and he felt good. As he stopped going he lost this good feeling and now he called us and wants to go back to be happy again. I know that living this gospel is the only way to have lasting happiness in this life and that the righteous are happy as King Benjamin teaches. This is why I'm here because I've experienced this happiness and I want to share it with others. Elder Stolp

He that hath no rule...

Hi everyone, this week was good. I was reading from "Jesus the Christ" and it was saying how Christ is the most generally famous, had the best qualities, the best leader and the most awesomest person to walk on the earth. Then I thought that I am his representative. I hope that I'm a good representative of Jesus Christ. This week Elder Nielson of the Seventy came to give us instruction. He was telling us how this isn't about us and that we need to lose ourselves. Then I was studying about self-mastery and I came across a scripture I want to share. "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." -Proverbs 25:28. So if we're not the ruler of our own souls we will be vulnerable like a broken down city with no walls and anything can come along and destroy us. Love Elder Stolp

Christ is the Redeemer

Hi everyone, como estan? Bob, our recent convert, just got sustained to recieve the priesthood and he got his Temple recommend and we hope to go with him to the temple this week. We had dinner with the Bobs yesterday and Bro. Bob2 favorite movies were: "The Lion King," "Gone with the Wind," and "Finding Nemo." We've been visiting a less active, Bob 3 and he says he wants us to give him and his wife the lessons because she is a non member and he wants to recommit himself. Well I know that Christ is the Redeemer of the world and that no matter how bad we think we are or what we did, Christ can make our sins white as wool. I LOVE JESUS!!!!!
Love
