Aloha 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 with some great
lessons, some new investigators that came to church, and a wonderful
zone interviews. The weather has been pretty hot this week it was a
little humid but starting to get back to the dry heat. To start off
this week, I had exchanges with the zone leaders on Tuesday with Elder
Wardle in their area of Deer Valley. It felt weird being back in the
Metro City where the streets are setup like a grid/straight roads,
compared to Anthem that has more curvy roads and more difficult to
navigate. We mostly did visits, clean a ladies front yard, and had a
great lesson with Hector on Enduring to the End and helping him realize
the covenant he will make at baptism. The spirit was so strong as he
testified how he knows the Gospel is true and why he wants to be
baptized. Then on Wednesday we stopped by to see if Joni came home from
the hospital and shared a short lesson with her on the Holy Ghost. On
Thursday, we had zone interviews which was great learning from Sister
Taylor and the zone leaders on the Doctrine of Christ and tightening up
on Obedience. My interview with President Taylor was so spiritual as he
gave me counsel and what the spirit has told me that I can do to
improve and continue to work hard for the rest of my mission. On
Friday, I had a great District Meeting which we watched some talks from
the Work of Salvation Broadcast from July 23 and discussing how we can
work with the members to help them do their missionary work and help
others Come unto Christ. Then we had a great lesson with Emma on
Education and work from the Strength of Youth pamphlet. We ended the
night by helping a member family who is moving to Utah. On Saturday, I
had a great exchange with Elder Ure in his area. We helped a non-member
family move in and they appreciated our help. Then we mostly did
visits and had a great lesson with Dominick on the Restoration of the
Gospel. The spirit was so strong as we testified to him about how the
Gospel was restored through Joseph Smith and why God brought forth
another pair of scriptures which is the Book of Mormon so we can know
that Joseph Smith was a true prophet called by God. He had some great
questions on Priesthood and we helped him understand the need for the
Restoration. On Sunday, we had an awesome Sabbath Day, we had 5
investigators that came to church. Allie, Jackie and their 3 kids came
to church and had a great time. On Thursday, Sally called us and asked
if we could give her daughter Janelly who is 19 a ride to church. She
also had a great time at church meeting the sisters in Relief
Society. We hope she tells her parents about her experience at church
and they start coming. I had to go to a Stake co-ordination meeting so I
only attended sacrament with our investigators but Elder Beck said they
all had a great time which was very nice because we have been
struggling to get people to church. Then we ended our week with a great
spiritual lesson with Lea. We taught her 2 principles of the
Restoration which we did it very simple and she understood how the
Gospel blesses families and how God called Prophets in every
dispensation. Well that was my great week here in the mission field
doing the Lord's work. I know that this Gospel is true and it can bless
everyone's lives and that Families can be Together Forever through our
Heavenly Father's Plan. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer that
fulfilled that Atonement so we can return to live in our Heavenly
home. The Book of Mormon is the Word of God that was translated by
Joseph Smith so we can continue know God's will for us and keep us
holding on to the Iron Rod. I love and miss you all. You ALL are
always in my prayers. Till next week take care and have a fantastic
week.
Love Always,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
