Week 12 - Settling in

Hello Family!!!

Elder Wood and Elder Morgan (They both have the first name of Derek!)

Love you all so much. 

This week we have transfers, but I'm still here with Elder Portillo and Elder Wood.

Not much to report on this week. Right now we're having some great success. We had 11 investigators at church with us this week. We are teaching a family right now that is GOLD! They are loving the Gospel. They're all reading every day from the Book of Mormon and going to church! It's only a few more weeks until they'll be baptized. I can see the happiness that the Gospel is bringing their family. There's a boy that's like 14 or so and he practically memorized a whole verse from the Book of Mormon!!! Whoo!!!!!! Golden Investigators. 

We're doing well here and each day I feel more and more comfortable. Thanks for all the prayers there!

I love you all.  Something that has really struck me this week is my purpose here. This is the work of salvation. In the Bible it tells us that unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, they cannot enter into the kingdom of God. I am here to proclaim that our Loving Father in Heaven has given us a way to return back to his presence. We are here for a purpose. We lived with God before this life and we are here to prepare ourselves to return to his loving arms, but we need to do our part. We need to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need faith, repentance, baptism, The Holy Ghost, and we need to persevere to the end. For those of you who may not be living this right now. I invite you to start doing it!!! Talk with some missionaries. They're here to help you!

Family and friends, I love you all so much! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Morgan
