Dear Bevell Family,
It has been a wow
week! Elder Melchior and I have been pushing hard and miracles are happening in
New Plymouth. This week was a 28 lesson week! But that is not the best part.
The best part was what we did a lot of this week. Tracting!!!
Yep, this week we
decided to fill in our free time with tracting, and I am grateful we did. I
have never had this much success in tracting before. Most of the tracting
happened in the Fruitland 3rd ward, which is our slowest ward. We met all kinds
of people. They were kind, some were not, some would slam the door, and others
stand and listen then say no. Some would thank us for our efforts to make the
world a better place, others told us we were going to hell. Only one really got
my blood boiling.
Anyway we did find
some people who were very receptive. We passed out a few book of Mormons, and
we even set some return appointments. One of them was Debbie. She is Hawaiian
and she really wants to know the truth. We met with her yesterday with our ward
mission leader. She asked a lot of questions about Joseph Smith which we
answered and invited her to hear our entire message. We testified that the
message we have to share will bless her life and it is something she will want
in her life. She accepted! New investigator!!!
This Sunday was a
really good one as well. A mom spoke about her son who is out on his mission
and how much he has learned so far. I sat and thought about everything that has
happened to me on my mission and all that I have learned as well. It's a lot.
lol. The stuff that stands out to me the most is how much better I am at
recognizing the spirit, how I'm not afraid to talk to just anyone and everyone,
(well not as much as I used to be anyways.) I'm a better leader, I'm not afraid
to voice my opinion in the proper settings anymore. Best of all though is how
much my faith and testimony has grown. I know this gospel is what I need in my
life. It's because of this gospel that I am who I am today.
Well, that’s all I
got for now. I'm glad to hear you are all save and having fun. You are in my
prayers. I love you all. Stay cool!
-Elder Bevell-
