Tuesday September 13, 2011

We had Elder Kearon from the first quorum of the 70 come to our mission this last weekend. It was so good to hear his testimony and knowledge. I could tell by the way he spoke about the Savior and his teachings that he had such a testimony that by his alone I wouldn't be able to turn from the Savior. Did that made any sense? His council was to look inside and find that thing, whatever it is, that is holding you back even just a little and get rid of it. I love this. I feel my whole life will be repeating this step over and over until there is nothing left to rid. The gospel is pretty much just that to build our faith enough to repent or change. Progress is change but change isn't necessarily progress. Jesus Christ lives. His Atonement is in full power and will change us if we let it.

Your friend from New Zealand was a smart man. Free food is so good. I wished I had done more with my life and skills than sit in front of the TV. That’s all and I remember you beating me in basketball most of the time.

Transfers came and went-still me and Elder Thompson. I remember those times of wrestling. I think my favorites were in the pool.

There are two people getting baptized this weekend. Madison and Dalton. The work in the singles ward has picked up tons. We have like triple the people to teach. It’s so good. We had some members bring friends and others from tracting. Well I got to go.

Love, Elder Hurst
