Pretty exciting! We found a family to teach! It's a husband, wife, and two little girls! We are pumped! They are interested in the Book of Mormon. We can't wait to start teaching them. The area is doing good. My new companion is Elder Peči. (Sounds like Peh-chee) He's from Croatia. He learned English before his mission and speaks really well. Probably better than me haha. We are having fun already though. It's been a blast.
I just have a quick spiritual thought. In the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon, in Chapter 37 verse 36 it says, " 36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever."
If the Lord is not our focus, then we are doing it wrong. Everything we do should be with the Lord in mind. He should be at the front of our mind, not back. We should tell him what we have done, what we are doing, and what we are planning on doing. When we talk to him about these kind of things, he is able to guide us and protect us so much more than if we never paid any attention to him. He is giving you answers and guidance always. If you are not hearing them, they you are not listening hard enough. We don't always hear the phone ring if the music we are playing is too loud. As we stop to pray to our Heavenly Father, we turn down the volume on the things that distract us and allow ourselves to hear the good word of God. So take a step back, kneel down, and talk to God. And then most importantly, stop and listen to what he has to say. You will be amazed at what he can do for you in your life. Even the simplest of answers can bring blessings that will carry you through the toughest trial you are facing. I know it.
I hope this will help improve your week and bring a little more light into your life each day. I pray for you always and wish you the best.
Until next time!
Elder Anderson
