I have had a difficult time updating the blog because I felt it necesary to edit all the typos etc. from the emails. I've decided to just give you what we get and ask you to be patient with any errors...here you go...
My highlight for this week was definitely saturday :) Nancy got baptized, and i havent had such an incredible day in my entire life :) it was crazy to think that less than two months ago she was just a regular person in the street that if i saw i wouldnt know who she was or anything, and now she is someone that i will never ever forget, because of the change that i saw her make in her life :)
i was able to take some pics with my other memory card, so i will include those.
overall my basic feelings of the week are these.
1: the mission is a lot harder that i thought it would be. i am literally here to save eternal souls, and i am an 18 yr old boy with a few handbooks, the scriptures and the Lords help. i know i can do it, but it will be 85% the Lords help 10% his spirit 4%the words i use and 1% the help of my comp...i just need to be willing to submit to the Lords time table and know that He is in control of all.
2: I dont have any baptisms, i am just privileged to be a part of the process of helping people come unto Christ. whether or not they make that covenant is up to them, i am just here to help answer questions and guide them to the gate :)
3: i dont know what i would do without Elder Souza, he is the best companion that i could have right now and i am grateful everyday for his fun attitude and his humility :)
4: it may be hard to work with a group of only 5 or 6 stong members in a city of a couple thousand....but i know that with the Lords guidance i will be able to help the Kingdom grow here :)
sorry for the short letter, i will have more info next week :)
with love,
Elder DuFort
