December 12/10/2012 Letter Home

So this week has been kind of crazy with transfers and stuff because my companion Elder Mingo was ET'ed, emergency transferred, to be a zone leader. I was disappointed about it but you know you roll with the punches. So now I have Elder Thornton. We're getting along so far and I think he's ready to get down to business and work.

Our investigator Kathryn, the only one with the date, is doing awesome. She's went cold turkey with smoking and coffee which is AWESOME!!! We recently had the tithing and fast offerings lesson she did have a concern with it. But she was like there's blessings with it! And we were like YES! So she's progressing quickly and she's so very excited about it as are we.

Paul the other investigator in our area is coming around I believe and this week we're going to try and set a date with him. It's going to be pretty intense lesson but we're committing him to a date! Hopefully the Lord sees our faith and gives Paul a little extra dose of the spirit and he accepts. It's going to be quite exciting but we'll have the story of how that goes next week.

So crazy person of the week we talked to. His name is Al and he came up to us and started talking about UFO's and how they and the crop circles are the signs of the 2nd coming. He was a very interesting black man to say the least. He looked like he was homeless but said he had a radio show called the conversation or something like that he was very interesting person.

I would just like to let you all know I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Proclaiming the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is the best thing for me to do. Every day I fell my faith growing. Every day I am enlightened by the spirit and everyday this gospel makes more sense to my head and even better my heart. The seed that Alma is referring to in Alma 32 is beginning to swell and it's becoming delicious to my soul. I know the gospel is true it's testified  everyday I go and preach it to them people I meet. I know Joseph Smith is the prophet of the restoration and it was through him the miracle of the gospel blesses our family and others around the world. I love this opportunity I have to be an ambassador of Jesus Christ. I love you all and love hearing from you!

Love
Elder Marvin
