Hello All,
My new companion has
been different than my other companions but everything is good. I have been
trying my best to lead by example more than anything. I’m really proud of him
for striving his best with me. He helps me to be a little more excited for some
things, and I know that we are companions for a reason.
Wow that’s amazing
that you could hear them [Elders D. Todd Christofferson and Todd S. Larkin] speak!
I think the mission has given me a better outlook and perspective of when we
have the opportunity to hear the voice of an apostle or prophet. It’s literally
like we are hearing the voice of our Heavenly Father, because what they say is
revelation and instruction that has been given to them through the spirit (the
Lords messenger).
This week a scripture
that caught my attention was Mosiah 5:8. I shared this scripture a couple times
this week and loved that it talked about how the only way to get salvation is
through Jesucristo. It explains how there’s no other title, or name by which we
can be cleaned and get salvation. I also liked how it talked about how we have
taken this name upon ourselves (those who have covenanted with him). We always hear the people say, “Oh its ok, i
just have the church in my heart and that’s good enough”, or they think, “Ï don’t
need to go to church to be saved if I read the bible in my house”, or also that
there’s a lot of ways to get saved, if they haven’t already gotten “saved”. It’s
really interesting to me too see these different thoughts, but in reality the
gospel gives us such a perspective that is clear. There’s no way that we can
deny it.
We have been looking
for a lot of people to teach this week and I was thinking this week, and
through all the things that have happened I thought wow, the missionary pretty
much run on trust, hope, and faith. That’s why sometimes it’s such a burden
emotionally when we see the potential that people have and they don’t go
through with what they say. All in all, I am grateful every day to be a
missionary.
Thanks for everything
and I hope everything goes well this week,
Elder Wolf
