All Along the Watchtower, Princes (of God) Kept the View
This week has been great!!
We had interviews with the MP in St. Roberts, about an hour away, we rode with guy who was German until he moved to America in 1955 at the age of 18. He is the funniest guy you'll ever meet, and he has some awesome stories from his past. Elder Brown and I have been crazy busy the last couple of weeks, tons of splits with ward members and we are doing lots of work with both investigators and less-actives. We have a huge area, and some of our investigators live WAY out in the boonies. Some of the areas that we tract are sketchy, and the people in them are different than what I expected, but as I look at them with a Christlike love, my fears and doubts are overcome. Tracting has been so hard for me, since I am not one to start conversations, but as I have tried to tract and do all in my power to become an effective missionary, I have been strengthened through Christ and we have had some very good successes with tracting. It is very nice here in central Missouri, overcast most days, and in the 70's. My companion took me to a watchtower last night, and and we set some goals up there, as we were the highest point attainable in the county. It reminded me of the old testament prophets, when they went up to the highest point to talk with God. We had a very strengthening experience up there, and the Spirit guided our goals. We set one goal, then prayed about it, and then we both felt that we needed to raise it. As we trust in the Lord, and study things out in our mind, if we pray with a sincere heart, with real intent, and having faith in Christ, we can receive answers to our questions, whether they be spiritual or not. I have a testimony of that, and every day as my companion and I pray to know if our plans are acceptable to Him, that testimony grows. It is an exciting time to be a missionary, and I am loving it with all of my heart!! If I can help you in any way, let me know! I love y'all!
