Charity

Another good week. i got a new companion Elder Anthony from Ohio. I guess they needed Elder Beck somewhere else since we were both only there for about 2 weeks. Elder Anthony is like 26 and graduated the same year as Sharlene. ha but he is cool he has been out a year, reminds me of Elder Claypool quite a bit. 

We found some less actives and let me tell you some of those people are so funny when they see missionaries haha one guy was like I havent been to church in many moons and wasnt interested in meeting with us or having home teachers or anything like that haha  it was more of a you had to be there but it was funny. We found some more part member families but nothing really came out of that, we did get a part member family that had been taught a while ago and we are going to start teaching again so we have high hopes for them that should be fun. 

A while ago in Kiev I was studying about charity and then we had a district meeting where we talked about it and charity is awesome. I love the verses in Moroni 7 "Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope and again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart. If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him."

I read that and was like oh shoot we can be puffed up be envious think or speak no evil all those things and it was cool to just try to let those things go so we can love all people no matter who they are or where we are. as we have charity that pure love for other people it makes us happier. 

We had a meeting last night with ward missionaries and how to use social media and it is cool to see these members step up, but it would be even better if the whole stake stepped up, if all the members of the church shared there testimony. You dont have to be weird or pushy just like simple stuff I know God loves us. It is hard to share with friends sometimes but the reward that will come from it will be great. So I am excited to work with the members more and be able to teach their friends and such.

In other news Elder Claypool emailed me and after we left Sanya went downhill with a whole bunch of stuff, it was sad to see but he is gonna follow up with him this week so we will see how that goes, thankfully through the atonement we can try over again when we have messed up. 

But yeah love you guys hope you have a good week

Love 
Elder David Witt
