This week has just been a crazy week. I one yeared! I burnt a bunch of clothing. All that hard work just gone... :) Joke - I still have memories :) I thought a lot about how fast life is - its crazy fast. :) Anyway, this week I have really thought about why I am on a mission. To serve God or get compliments and such. I learned that if I am here for any other reason than serving, I am sinning...I repented just a little and I recommitted myself to my mission. :) Our Area is doing great! Within the next month or so we should have 5 or more baptisms :) We refocused our schedule on the Investigators that are progressing :) To get them baptized. We also had the most people go to church since I have been here. We hit 70 :) I hope the ward sees it and gets more engaged in the work especially with the LA and keeping them coming to church.
I have to say it is just hot now.... Like Phoenix hot but with humidity.... I sweat so much... I can not wait for this next month to get over.
I also want to share what President said to us.
Missionaries are only as effective as the members. No matter how good the missionaries are, we can not do anything without help. So any of you who are reading this, please call the missionaries and set an appointment with friends, ask them how can I help. Ask them to work with them :) We need your help :) Please Help :) I love missionary work :) I don't want my mission to end :) I love the Savior and what He has done for me and you for that matter :) Sorry about being to general in the letters :) Enjoy conference :) I wont see it till the 12th :) Its like the superbowl for missionaries :) I can't wait :)
Love
Elder Bigelow
At the mission home on one year mark.
