HAPPY NEW YEAR! - January 1, 2012


Dear Family,
 
Also, How is Brother Small doing?
 
This last week has been MIRACLE FILLED! It has been great. I know that this year is going to be a big CHANGING year. I feel something big happening. I just know that there will be A TON of people prepared to enter into the lords kingdom through baptism :) I don't know what it is but ever since I have got in this mission I have felt that there is a ton of potential here. I am really excited. This last week we first went to a recent converts house named Kerry and his friend was there who we actually talked to a couple weeks ago on the street. We taught him the restoration and he was EXCITED!! He was really excited to come to church. Kerry really needs a CLOSE CLOSE friend to help him progress too. It would be perfect for him :) But, Kerry couldn't make it to church so Kenneth wasn't there either? We will see what happened tomorrow. But I still think he has a ton of potential.
 
We also met with a media referral that has been out of town for a little bit. Her name is Lydia. We had an amazing lesson with her and she came to church. This was her second time at church but first time going to Relief Society. SHE LOVED relief society. And they all loved her! It was perfect. She exchanged numbers with EVERYONE. It was fantastic. I am so excited for her as well.
 
This is going to be a big year. It is the only full year that I can COMPLETELY 100% dedicate myself to the lord. I have been reading in the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi when Jesus Christ came and man it is powerful. I love bearing my testimony on the street saying that Jesus Christ IS the HEAD of our church. He leads it through an ACTUAL modern day prophet. The really frustrating thing is that everyone sais "oh ya, my pastor is a Prophet". They just don't understand. I try so hard to make it as clear as possible. It is really depressing when I feel the spirit so strong testifying but they just don't feel it or they completely ignore it. It really just hurts because you know how much it can bless their life, even if their life is going well. Even more blessings will be added upon them ya know? It gets depressing at times! But thanks to all of you I have a rock as my foundation and no matter what beats upon it, it will hold and remain standing. Thank you so much for that :)
 
It sounds like you all had a ton of fun for New Year's :) I'm glad! I miss you all! I wish I had a Ping Pong table :) haha.
 
Oh, we have also been taking out this member recently who has caught on fire! I am so excited! He talked to one of his employees the other day and asked for a Book of Mormon to give to him. Sorry, my english is getting wierd because of Elder Boamorte haha! But everything is going GREAT! Thank you so much for the Book of Mormon and EVERYTHING. I appreciate everything. SERIOUSLY! I don't know where I would be without you.
 
Something that is really wierd, is Elder Wheeler who I have been in the apartment with for 6 months at the end of this transfer only has one transfer after this :/ It just shows me how fast time flies by and how I CANT waste it at all!
 
Love
Elder Wise
