Hey Family!
Well this week went flying by... it seems like they are passing faster and faster. This week was good but honestly nothing that big or amazing happened, just a normal good week of work. Actually, come to think of it, the week was really full of different little things to do. Then on Friday we had a multi-zone conference that was really good but it went all day! Again this week we have interviews with the boss, mission council, another muti-zone with a new Area Seventy that will be coming down. It will be another full but great week.
Unfortunately, of all of the new people that we have had and of the people that we really wanted to go to church with us this week none of them came! That usually seems to be how it goes, although we do have high hopes for this Sunday. We are continuing to work with references and also finding new people to teach through our own efforts, but we are also trying to work with the list of all of the less active members that are registered in the ward to see if we can re-activate them, and also be able to get references from them. This week should be really good.
For the multi-zone conference President Shumway had us all study a talk that President Nelson gave a few years back that had to do with how to have more of the spirit and guidance of the spirit in our lives. All of the talk was amazing but there was one part that really stuck out to me, I do not have the talk here with me and so I will paraphrase what it said. It said something like, when He sees that our biggest desire is to have the influence of His spirit, and when we stretch spiritually farther then we have ever stretched before, then we will truly have His spirit that really guides us.
I love you all so much and hope that this week is an amazing week!
Love,
Elder Marks
