Dear
Peeps,
This
week was one of the hardest weeks I have been out on my mission without a
doubt. As a District leader, I get to see moment for moment progress on
baptisms. Well.... we started off the month with 7 for baptisms and now we are
fighting for 2 that might happen. It's been frustrating. But we are doing better
little by little. I feel desires to do better all the time. I thank everyone for
their prayers and letters. We did have a lot of success though on Sunday. 7
investigators in the chapel and an attendance of 45. That was incredible to
see!
It
made me a little sad to hear about Aunt Rosie. But I know that she's moving on
to great things. I like the one of the first Russian converts to become
mission presidents. Elder Nelson called her up to the microphone at a Stake
Dedication. Her husband had recently passed away after they were released from
serving as mission presidents I think. He said that she bore a powerful
testimony of covenants. She said, "We are still mission companions. Him on
that side and I on this side of the veil" It is a great talk and a
powerful testimony of the reality of covenants. I know that Aunt Rosie is a
virtuous woman and that they are keeping their covenants. Haha I found the
spanish version of Uncle Mikes talk in a Liahona this last week.
I
love my mission even though that it's the hardest thing I've ever done. The Lord
is the Gardener here and he knows what he wants me to become. Just gotta hold
on tight and keep moving forward.
Sigamos
Adelante,
-Elder
Neider
