6-15-2014- Father's Day

Hey ya'll

Things have slowed down a bit down here the past couple of weeks. Most of our investigators are students and have been incredibly busy with tests and graduation. Consequently we haven't been able to meet with them near as much but we are hoping with them graduating this week that we can start to get back into meeting with them consistently. 

Z--- D-- is still doing pretty well. He has been super busy but has still expressed his desire to keep coming to church and learn. He really is such a great kid and the ward is definitely helping him have a desire to continue to come. We are very grateful for our ward members here and the help they give us. 

X-- D-- is doing well as well. He came to church Sunday and really enjoyed himself. He has said that he will have more time this week and we are hoping that we can pull off a miracle and have him be baptized this month. If God wants it to happen and we work hard we believe that we can do it. I know that Miracles do happen and we hope he will be ours for June. 

I can't believe the transfer has almost finished. My transfer with Elder Z--- has most definitely been the fastest of my mission. We have gotten along so well and had fun serving together. If we end up staying together for another transfer we have really made up our minds to work super hard and bring more unto Christ. We have had such great experiences teaching together and when we do we can feel the Spirit guiding us. He really is a great teacher and I have learned many things from him. He really does love helping other people and just being a good person. 

Personally I'm starting to feel better than I have my whole mission. I have made up my mind to really start throwing myself at the scriptures again and start learning God's will for me as a person and as a missionary. I have also recently started to comprehend the love that God truly does have for all of us. It is unconditional which is awesome. God is with us all we have to do is reach out to him. A lot of the time we don't feel His presence (at least I don't) but I feel this is because He wants us to work hard and do the right things so that when we have those moments of realization/revelation we will be that much more grateful for them. At least this is how I personally feel. He is truly our Father and especially on this Father's Day we can think about him and what He has done for us. I truly do love my Father in Heaven and also know that Jesus Christ loves our God with a perfect love as well. Our goal is to develop that perfect love. 

The mission is an amazing experience and I want to take advantage of the time I have left to influence people for the good. 

Love ya'll and hope you have a great week.

Elder Meeks
