"Your success as a missionary is measured primarily by
your commitment to find, teach, baptize, and confirm people and to help them
become faithful members of the Church who enjoy the presence of the Holy
Ghost."
Success is measured by commitment. That's not what you do,
it's who you are.
This week was good. In a weird way. It was empty, we had
more appointments cancel than I can count, but that isn't what's important. Not at all. :D
God and I both think it could have been better, but I am
committed to improve. To stand taller. To walk and live strong. Are you?
Rock.
Yesterday was just loaded with miracles. It began with Ward
Council.
Our mission president wants to see another set of
missionaries in the Ward in which we are currently serving. We told him we
would do our best. How would we do it? By following the cousel of the 12 and
get our ward council moving.
So, we presented this idea to the ward council as humbly as
we possibly could.... you won't believe how wonderfully they responded to
us. They were like, "Okay, what do we need to do?" So, up and coming,
a new ward mission plan, built by the entire ward council, with goals for every
facet of the work, that is easily presented to the ward.
This may seem so small.... but this is the best thing that
has ever happened in the Ward. Ever. Becasue this means the foundation will be
strengthened, which means higher levels of conversion and a greater willingness
to spread the Gospel message. And a ward that is self sufficient in sustaining
the work of Salvation, regardless of the calibur of the missionaries in it.
That's all I really have for this week.... but I am so
grateful for the light that has come... and that will continue to come. I know
this Gospel is true. I know that this work is His work, and it will roll forth
boldly, nobly, and independant. :D
Rock on. Peace. Love. And Temple Marriage.
In that order.
Elder Taylor J. Hill
