Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you all doing? I am doing great here in Anthem - Sharing the
Gospel and doing the Lord's work. I had a great week but also a bit
challenging and overwhelmed. We had a great Zone conference on working
more with members by serving and teaching them the Doctrine of Christ to
help build their trust to Share the Gospel with those they know and
find people for us to teach. We also had great learning exercises on
planning more effectively and using our missionary planner to its
fullest; and we had a great teaching lesson by President and Sister
Taylor on Repentence and helping us and our investigators to truly
repent and forsake their sins so they can enjoy the blessing that come
from keeping God's commandments. We had only 1 lesson this week with
Emma on Agency and keeping the Law of Chasity. She is 17 and has been
investigating the church for 2 years but cannot get baptized because her
parents will not allow her to until she is 18. She will make a great
Mormon in a year and she is planning to go on a mission when she is 19.
We had 4 lessons scheduled with investigators but they fell through for
various reasons. Some investigators we have not been able to have a
lesson with for weeks, so we are going to see if they truly want to
learn more about the Gospel. We did alot of finding through members and
are starting to teach them short 20 minute lessons to apply the things
we learned from zone conference and help them Share the Gospel and gain
trust in us as Servants of Christ. Well the anxious part of the week
was first when I got a call from President Taylor on Saturday to TRAIN A
NEW MISSIONARY AGAIN. I was not that nervous because I have done it
before and it is not so bad. Then this morning I got another call from
President Taylor asking me TO BE A DISTRICT LEADER. These are 2 big
assignments that the Lord and Mission President Taylor has trust and
confidence that I can do. I have to be a role model in Obedience and
example to my new trainee and district which there are 6 Elders in my
District and 2 will be new missionaries tomorrow. I hope I can have the
Lordss guidance and spirit to help me fullfill these assignments. I
have to plan and conduct district meetings, go on exchanges with
everyone in my district and zone leaders every transfer, take call in
summaries of the week and report them to the zone leaders every Sunday,
do baptism interviews, and help out the Elders in my district the best
way I can. So there is lots of pressure on me but I know that the Lord
knows I am ready to do it. I went to a training meeting yesterday and
so one of the sisters that came out with me is going home today along
with 3 other sister missionaries who finished their mission. There are
23 new missionaries coming into our mission tomorrow and 9 of them are
sister missionariess. Alot more sister missionaries are coming
on missions since the announcement of age change. I am so priveledged
to be on a mission in these exciting time when the Lord needs every
worthy young man and young women to preach his Gospel. I know that this
Gospel is true and by living it we can be blessed. I love and miss you
all. Take care and have a great week.
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
