Sorry I haven't sent anything the last couple weeks;
sometimes I just get really bored with e-mailing it’s not like actually talking
to people so it gets boring at times.
But things have been good recently we have been finding new
investigators, and we have a boy named Landon on date to be baptized. His
family got really busy for a couple of weeks, but we were able to catch them
and prior to this he already accepted the invitation to be baptized. We talked
with them and we were able to get a date set and they were able to make it to
church again for the first time in a couple of weeks. So we are excited to see
the progress they are still making!
Transfers are upon us once again so Elder Holmes and I will
be splitting up and Elder Turner will be joining me in Thomas. I don’t know
much about him but I've never been with a companion that I have known prior so
this seems to be the usual. All and all things are going well.
I've really enjoyed the challenge that president Monson has
given us to read the Book of Mormon each day. It’s pretty easy as a missionary
but I love the why behind it. He can see the difficulties in the world
especially the opposition against our faith. Reading the Book of Mormon helps prepare us
for the trials of the world but more importantly when truly studied and not
just read, it keeps our foundation in Christ solid. There are so many things
and people in the world today that oppose Christ for one reason or another and
honestly I think that’s why the world is in such disarray, because people
either don’t believe in Christ or don’t act upon that belief. I feel Christ is
more of just a nice idea to many people in the world today and not a role model
or example as should be. The idea of Christ is nice, but just doesn't bring
much into our lives unless we act upon all his teachings. It does take a bit of
work and sacrifice to really follow the savior’s teachings, but the blessings
are far greater, and the person you become is a truly joyful person.
Anyways that’s my little update to everyone
Love you guys
Elder Hoffman
