Happy Father's Day



Hey everyone!

Sorry that I haven’t written this week. We actually switched our pday to today because that’s what we do when we go to the temple. I love the temple. I love feeling the spirit there and receiving revelation for myself and for the missionaries that I serve over and with.

Well let’s see what’s happened so far this week. Actually not much has been going on. We have just been working like crazy and trying to find new people to teach. We have been trying to achieve 20 member presents this weekend but haven’t had too much success in that area but we are never doubting and never quitting to achieve what the Lord wants us to do. That is one of my main goals for the rest of my mission is trying to achieve the standards of excellence. It means a whole lot more work in trying to do that but I’m up for the challenge.

Being a district leader is a different pace for what I am used to. You know it’s not that I lose a lot of time to that responsibility but I have a lot more things that I have to pay attention to. There definitely is a lot more administration work and a lot more worries about the other missionaries in the other areas. Plus with this certification binder program I have to make sure that every missionary is on track. It’s definitely a change but I love it. It’s so fun to work with the missionaries more and understand who they are. But to answer your question...Nope still no car. We still get to ride bike luckily. :)

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers! Our ward had stake conference on Father’s Day so naturally we didn’t do anything. They just got to be fed by the spirit :) way better than a candy bar. But it was a good day. The weather has just been a spring season. Lots of thunder storms and it has been getting super humid. That’s the bad part is the humidity. Just makes you feel all nasty all day. But I can’t complain I love it.

All of our investigators are still floating. None of them are progressing that way we need them to. I know they all have so much potential they just need to see how much potential they actually have. I think that we all need to see actually how much potential we have before we start letting others know. I know that we are all brothers and sisters and that we all can become like God. It’s so amazing to see what we can become if we truly strive to become like our savior Jesus Christ. It’s a matter of prayer and effort on our part. I know that the Lord is preparing thousands of people every day. But it’s all of our jobs as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints to find them, invite them, and teach them and to baptize them. When we don’t do that we are really limiting their eternal salvation. So I promise you that if you pray for missionary opportunities that the Lord will give them to you. Just look for those miracles.

Thanks so much I love you all so much!

Love,

Elder William Macoubrie
