HEY EVERYONE,


WELL WE HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT TRANSFERS AND I WILL BE STAYING AS THE DISTRICT LEADER. I FEEL SO STRANGE HAVING THAT HAPPEN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I JUST HOPE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT THE LORD WOULD HAVE ME DO TO HELP THE DISTRICT IMPROVE.

THIS WEEK HAS GONE WELL. WE HAVE TWO BAPTISMS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK AND THEY WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN INTERVIEWED. ONE IS A MAN IN HIS 70'S. ANOTHER IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN LADY. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD.

AETNA, THE LADY IN HER 80'S, CAME BACK FROM TEXAS AND SAID THAT SHE HAS A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO DO BEFORE SHE GETS BAPTISED.

WITH ME STAYING HERE I AM EXCITED TO FIND THE PEOPLE THAT THE LORD HAS PREPARED. THERE ARE MANY HERE. I KNOW THAT IF I WORK AS HARD AS I CAN THAT THE LORD WILL HELP ME FIND THOSE THAT HE HAS PREPARED.

I KNOW THAT THIS CHURCH IS TRUE AND THAT I AM DOING THE LORDS WORK. I KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO THIS EARTH AND SUFFERED MANY THINGS FOR US THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TURN TO HIM FOR HELP (ALMA 7:11-13). I KNOW THAT JOSEPH SMITH WAS A PROPHET OF GOD. I KNOW THAT THE BOOK OF MORMON IS THE WORD OF GOD. BY STUDYING IT YOU CAN KNOW ALL THINGS THAT YOU MUST DO (2 NEPHI 32:3). I KNOW THAT THROUGH PRAYER YOU CAN KNOW THAT ALL THESE THINGS ARE TRUE (MORONI 10:3-5).

LOVE
ELDER LUNT
