Hello! Well, there is much to say so let's see how I do. On Friday we had the opportunity to meet President and Sister Howes for the first time. It was a great chance to get to know them, and receive a confirmation that the Lord has called them to serve at this time. Saturday we went as a Zone to have a "Meet and Greet" where they formally introduced themselves to our group of 16 missionaries and opened up to us a lot. To be honest, I do not see a problem with the transition happening smoothly. At the least, the missionaries where I serve seem to love him already. Sunday, Alma was able to get her baby boy blessed and we were able to participate. It is always a joy to see families so young promise to rear their families the way the Lord wants. Although we are only two weeks into this 7 week transfer, we are seeing so many wonderful things happen. The Lord set a high standard for what we are to achieve this transfer and it has been amazing to see each missionary companionship take their faith, obedience, and a determination to do the Lord's will to the highest standard that they can. As such, the Lord has already blessed us immensely as He does His part to bring about this work. The more I serve the more I love faith and what a powerful tool it is in making things happen. We cannot doubt or fear. Those feelings come from the Adversary. There are too many things to do to NOT let it be pushed forward with a firm faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is so much we miss out on accomplishing or that we delay getting done when we let our faith weaken. It is great to hear about all of the wonderful things happening to each of you in your lives and I hope to hear from more of you soon! Until next time!
