"Finding them that will receive you"

I am so excited to write to you this week. The Lord is blessing us so much.

 

First off, Happy Fathers Day dad :) Again, I am so thankful to have you as my Dad. I can't wait to beat you at mustache march. I have an 8 O'clock shadow now......so watch out

 

In Preach My Gospel Pg. 155 it asks a question, "What does it mean to 'Find them that will receive you'?" Then it gives a scripture in D&C 42:8.

 

"And from this place ye shall go forth into the regions westward; and inasmuch as ye shall find them that will receive you ye shall build up my church in every region."

 

This week we have continued with that as our theme, to "find [those] that will receive [us]". We are striving to strengthen our faith that the Lord is preparing people out there and following the spirit to find where they are. This week we had two days in a row where during the nightly planning session we prayed and asked the Lord where we should go and we felt like one specific place was right. Monday night we felt like these three streets were it, so Tuesday we went there and found one lady who was so darn prepared she was almost cooked, then Tuesday night we felt like we should be up in "Historic Yorktown" where they have these old churches and buildings and stuff. We ended up finding some sweet people and singing "I need thee every hour" to a couple people as a finding Idea. We sat down and had a discussion with Pastor Carlston Bakkam of the Historic Yorktown Episcopalian Grace church or something like that and we have a meeting with him next week as well. That was cool.

 

We were supposed to get picked up at 2:00 that day to go somewhere else but our ride was late and it was a good thing because at 2:15 WE FOUND A WAY SOLID INVESTIGATOR. He was the reason we were in Historic Yorktown without a doubt. So humble and teachable. and he's 22. His Fiance was also there on Friday when we went back to teach them. I can't tell you how excited I am about them. It has been so powerful to try to find the humble teachable people of the earth.

 

So I can't write everything here. I can't believe I didn't think of this before, but yesterday I made copies of my journal for the past week and I am just going to send them to you. I honestly can't write a fifth of what I would.

 

Gotta go ya'all.
