Dear Family and everyone else,
Another week has come and gone and many things have happened. First off, I had Zone Conference at my ward/stake building. Many things were re-emphasized. More importantly, 3 fundamentals. 1. Revelation through prayer. 2. Revelation through the Book of Mormon, and 3. Revelation through church attendance. Over this past week, my companion and I implemented what was taught. We focused on these three fundamentals to better help our investigators with their spiritual conversion.
We were able to finally teach the 10 year old in the Almanza family. He wants to get baptized, and we taught him the first 2 lessons and the word of wisdom. He had some really interesting and good questions, like who is God's father? Many people don't fully understand who the godhead really is. If you know Jesus Christ, you also know who Heavenly Father is like. Therefore, we have a total of 6 with a date for this month. We were given the council of the power of one. If every area just baptized one person a month, we could easily reach our monthly goal of 100 and the mission total of 1,342 at the end of the year. We are already almost half way done with the goal by the end of this months projected numbers. It's really exciting.
We were also told that Russell M. Nelson will work with President Clark with arranging the missionaries into the new mission this July 1st. As a reminder, the new mission president is president Palmer. He is from Washington State. So I'm excited with this next transfer call these next couple of weeks. Love you all. May the lord comfort you all from the news of L. Tom Perry.
Sincerely,
Elder White
