From Elder, to Teina

Hey, everyone! I got a really cool letter from Elder Hazleton the other day.

"D&C 136:31 is a new one I like. It makes me just think about faith.It makes things possible; not easy. 'My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom.'

(My spelling sucks, but...) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are who I look up to as far as faith goes. Look it up. Put in the Fiery furriness because they wouldn't worship   fake gods. what they say before is AWEsome! 'our God will deliver us, but if not... oh well. We do it anyways. What did our God do? Sent an ANGEL and let no harm be done to them. What now, King?"

...Just thought I would share that (:

June 3rd Update!

So the past few weeks have been a little slower then we want it to be, but we have gotten some great lessons in, and even better, some referrals! The ZL’s (zone leaders) sent us to a rehab center where a lady had gotten a hip replacement. Before going in her friend, who is a member, asked if she would feel OK with the Elders giving her a blessing. She said “absolutely”. The ZL's were the ones who first met her and gave her to us the other day (she lives in our ward, actually on our street). Jan Blood is 59 years old and told us that once she is out of the rehab center she needs to get going to church. She committed to baptism.

James is a guy we have been working with for a few weeks now who actually came and found us. His baptismal date is the 22nd, and the 23rd he gets the gift of the Holy Ghost. Well on the night of the 23rd we get transfer calls so it’s cool to know that I started teaching him and I’ll see him get baptized before I might leave. Those are a few of the miracles that happened last week.
