Hello Everyone!
Today I got a haircut. It's pretty bad, especially on top, but that's alright. The top is really short, so hopefully I can go the rest of my time without cutting the top.
Everything else is going good. The work is starting to progress, and the members are actually starting to help us a lot. We are still finding a lot of people on our own, although not a lot progress, we sometimes find a diamond in the rough.
Like this last week, when we found Fr Stan. We actually found him a couple of weeks ago, and he stopped us in the road to ask what we did. We set up an appointment with him, but he didn't keep it. In fact, we would try to call him, but the call would never go through. We almost let him go, but last week we tried again, and he finally set up an actual appointment with him. He was super receptive, and was basically teaching us the Restoration, from what he learned in the pamphlet. It was a great lesson, and he even came to church yesterday. He is super cool, and I'm excited to see his progression.
We got a new missionary in our apartment, Elder Kasongo. He is from the Congo, and super cool. He is being trained by Elder Rogers. We have been cracking jokes, and having a good week.
I love the scripture found in Mormon 9:28
"Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God"
I love this reminder, as one of the last words of the Book of Mormon prophet, Mormon. We need to remember where our priorities are, and never let our guard down. We are put on this earth to serve our Heavenly Father, as our biggest goal should be to return in his presence.
I love all of you, and hope you have a great week.
Elder Orchard
