Moroni 7:16 For behold, the aSpirit of Christ is given to every bman, that he may cknow
good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every
thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ,
is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know
with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
Good Morning! This
week was great! We had two exchanges this week. On Tuesday I was working here
in my area with Elder Wilson. And then on Friday I was in Fayetteville working
with Elder Coon. I love being a zone leader and getting the opportunity to work
with a lot of the missionaries in the zone. It really helps me become a better
leader and teacher. It's so fun! On Wednesday we did something really fun! We
went to Tahlequah Oklahoma. There is a college there called Northeastern State
University. The Sister missionaries serving in Tahlequah set up a table with
pamphlets, pass along cards, and other information for our church in one of the
main buildings there on campus. We spent the day just talking to a ton of
college students! It was awesome! They were all super friendly and open to
talking with us. I never thought I would be one to love approaching strangers
and talking to them about the gospel haha! But it was so fun! I'll send some
pictures.
That brings up an
interesting point. This generation is so awesome. For the most part they have
open minds that are willing to listen to new ideas. They aren't so set in their
ways. I think a lot of the problems in the world come from the pride of man.
And this generation can change that.
We got transfer calls
on Saturday night. Both Elder Stapley and I will be staying here in Springdale
for another six weeks! This is Elder Stapley's last transfer! He goes home in
six weeks! But he wants to sprint through the finish line and I'm excited to be
with him. We are doing good work. There is a lot going on here in Springdale.
XXXX has a baptismal date for February 15th and we have a couple other really
promising families that are progressing really well. I'm so grateful for the
opportunity that I have to be a servant of the Lord. I love this message. It
really is a message of peace. I love to watch it change lives. I know that
Jesus Christ loves us and is mindful of each of us. I know that there is peace
and joy that can be found in living a Christlike life. I love serving the Lord
and I love you all!
Love,
Elder Sherwood
