Beitun!

Finally had my first sacrament meeting with Beitun Ward!  It was great to really get to have time to see the people of our ward and be uplifted by the spirit with them.  I was also able to have my official introduction to the ward! Yay!  I feel like being about to have this first normal Sunday with my Ward has really helped a lot in helping me adjust better to this new area.  The work really can only be done if us missionaries and members work together!  It hurts when I see how many less-active members there are in a ward and they range from people who have been members for several years to members who had just graduated from being a recent convert and immediately became a less-active.  Missionaries and members can work together in helping these members once again feel the Spirit and the love of our Heavenly Father.  Missionaries are great tools that a ward can use to help strengthen a ward.  Use us well!  But, remember that we missionaries are only temporary,  Members need to do their part in getting to know their ward family and constantly bearing testimony to not only strengthen themselves, but also our friends and family.  

We have been called by a prophet of God to work together and Hasten the Work of Salvation!  Are you fulfilling your call?  I invite all to do as Elder Nielson did during our October 2013 General Conference, which as also reiterated in our most recent General Conference.

1.  Pray everyday for an opportunity to help someone come closer to Christ. (Could be a friend, family or a stranger on the street)

2.  Pray for your missionaries and their investigators by name.  (If you don't know their names, go find out! haha.  And ask them for the names of their investigators.)

3.  Invite non-member or member friends and family to an activity inside or outside your home.

When you earnestly pray for these things, you will be blessed with opportunity and the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

1 Nephi 13:37

 And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.

Love you all!

Keep the Faith!
