Good Morning! This week was a great
week! Not quite as exciting as the Glow Run last week, but still an exciting
week. We have a few baptisms coming up. Sister XXXX is getting baptized in a
few weeks, XXXXX in august, and we got two new investigators this past week
that are awesome. XXX and XXX. They are a young couple. XXXX was raised semi Buddhist.
So its really fun teaching her. I like teaching people about Jesus Christ. I
love helping them realize what His atonement means for them. It's really hard
sometimes! We have to explain with words the infinite atonement. The very act
that redeems us from our fallen, mortal, imperfect, state. The act that brings
peace, joy, happiness, comfort to our lives. How can you explain to someone
this act! It's a challenge that I love. She's really learning a lot. She
understands a lot of the doctrine and she knows a lot of bible stories from her
own study, but I can't wait to see her start experiencing the change that
living the gospel brings.
Today we are headed to Tulsa for
Mission Leadership Council. It’s very random now when we go to Tulsa and when
we don't go to Tulsa. But I’m excited. I love going to Tulsa and spending the
night in the mission home. I don't have a whole lot to say this week. I'm
just loving life. I love being a missionary. I just keep doing my best. Every
day. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that he lives and that He loves
each one of us. I’m grateful for this opportunity I have to serve Him. I love
you all!
Love,
Elder Sherwood
