Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you all doing? Well as for me I am doing great here in Buckeye -
Sharing the Gospel and helping others Come unto Christ. The weather was
perfect this past week in the 70's during the day which felt
wonderful. Well, I had a good week in the mission field. My companion
Elder Romrell has been sick and has been having a hard time sleeping
since last Monday, so we have been mostly inside the whole week. It has
been pretty tough for me to be inside because I love to get out and do
missionary work, finding and teaching our Heavenly Father's children the
Gospel and how it can bless their lives. So I have been doing a lot of
studying which I love doing to help me gain more knowledge about the
Gospel; but after so many hours of studying during the day it gets
tiring and I start going crazy because there is nothing much I can do
besides watch some church movies and videos. I have been using some of
the time to go through our area book and getting to know the area map
and where people live since I will probably be taking over the area when
my companion leaves in 3 weeks. Well, I did have a great time at our
mission tour on Wednesday where Elder Koeliker, a General Authority of
the 70's came and talked to us. It was a spiritually packed meeting
hearing from him and his wife, with Elder Picroll, President and Sister
Taylor, and having a testimony meeting to end our mission tour. It was
so great to hear from Elder Koeliker that we as missionaries have been
set apart and are just like the Quorum of the Twelve and 70's to be
witnesses of Christ and have the Authority to bear witness of him and
preach his Gospel. That really struck me hard that our Heavenly Father
would trust us with that calling. We also are having a Christmas
campaign where members can direct their friends and family to check out mormon.org/christmas
and also invite us over to share a Christmas message about the Birth of
our Savior Jesus Christ. I also went on mini exchange with my district
leader Elder Barlow to a few lessons we had. We taught Ginny Torez
about the Word of Wisdom and taught the Noble family about the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. It was really great to get out and teach them. Well
that was my week. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving with their
families. Thank you so much for all your wonderful letters and birthday
wishes. I will truly cherish this Thanksgiving with some great food
and being with members of our Ward. I would just like to say that I am
Thankful for you all and everything you do or did in my life to shape
the person I am today. I thank my Heavenly Father for this opportunity
to be a missionary and share this wonderful Gospel so Families can be
Together for Eternities. I love and miss you all.
Love,
Elder Lance Cabral
