The blessings of working hard

This week has been crazy. On Thursday I got Elder Lakis as a new companion and he is a really good guy! He was in the MTC with Cade Perrish. It was pretty cool to hear some stories about Cade in the MTC.

We have been really busy so far this transfer. The mission as a whole have been struggling with baptizing and we have been asked to come up with some ideas on why we haven't baptizing like we should be. So for our zone we came up with a little theme using D&C 6:3-6. Then we challenged our missionaries to work hard and in every prayer to ask God to help them to have a baptism this transfer. We have applied it and we have been doing all that we can do to reach this goal. So we haven't been wasting any time.

On Saturday we were tracting for about 2-and-half-hours, and we had no success. But it was raining and we had a few minutes before an appointment, so we said lets knock a few more doors and that is when we were blessed. We found some really cool people and I feel like the Lord is blessing us because he see's how hard we are working.

Then on Sunday the members were giving us names of less actives and part member families that they want us to go see. It was great. We have been seeing the blessings of working hard. Then yesterday we saw a lot of people because it was President's Day! That is pretty much all that happened in the past few days. I'll have a lot more to write about next week because it'll be a longer week.

I hope that you have a good week.

D&C 6: 3-6

3 Behold, the field is white already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap, let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day lasts, that he may treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.

4 Yea, whosoever will thrust in his sickle and reap, the same is called of God.

5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.

6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion;
