18 Months ago, President Smith announced that every apartment would be getting Air Conditioning. Well that came true for almost every Missionary, except me. BUT TODAY, That long wait is over!! Hhahaha I´ll be sleeping with a Blanket tonight!! hahahah
Anyways on more important matters, the work here is going good. Me and Elder Christensen are trying hard to get to work with the whole Zone.
There wasn't a lot of work this week with investigators, but lots of progression with the Recent Converts. We decided to go and figure out why some of them had stopped coming to Church.
After learning about some of the frustrating reasons of why they don't come to church, I started to see the pattern of EVERY fallaway from the church.
Stop Reading Scriptures, Stop Going to Church, Stop Praying, and Satan then puts an idea in your head, the idea that maybe it's not true. And then you find out a possibility that some little thing to do with the Church isn't true, and Satan takes it over.
On the other hand, those who constantly Read, Pray, and Go to Church, have God's power. When one does these things with all diligence every day and week, instead of seeing possible faults in the Church or leaders, they see the UNDENIABLE fact and spiritual truth of all things.
Satan's ideas and conceptions are simply unclear. When one starts to fall away, they become unclear with everything and fall into his traps with ease. But when one Holds to the Rod with all their might, they see the world as it as, as clear as day!
It's not confusing why it's like this: If you go closer to the darkness, you will see less, and will often have to guess about what is the truth. If you get closer to the Light, everything will be clear unto you!!
Christ is the light of the world, and if anyone denies it, or has doubts of it, only need to come a little closer to see how clear it all is.
Read your scriptures daily!! Nothing is more important in your day, Nothing! Pray Every Day!! The Lord should be your most trusted friend!! Go to Church!! Life's hard, and we pass through lots of things, take advantage of the opportunity to be lightened of your burdens.
You're not going to be perfect. Life will be better.
For all those who are failing in some of these categories, or who may have some other bigger problems, to be honest it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you start NOW.
I know that all these things are true, and I hope everyone who reads this feels the need, as I do, to come closer to Christ's light, and see how the world is, not how we "think" it is.
I Love You All!!!!
Love,
Elder Ryan
