with Elder Smalley. So happy! It's crazy to think that another
transfer has gone by! I don't have tons of time today because
of transfers. This afternoon we ended up going to the Pyramid
and bowling with a bunch of people. It was super fun!
This past week was really good. We helped a member of the
branch move for two full days. It was actually a lot of fun. In
between moving the guy taught us a bunch of soccer moves.
I feel like I'm getting pretty good - you better watch out Dad.
Remember Ricardo from Columbia that came to our English
class? We began teaching him this week. He told us when
he was at our church service he really felt like it was the church
he has been looking for. Miracles do happen people!
Happy Birthday mom! You told me that the best gift I could give
you is sharing my testimony with you - so here goes..........
I have definitely come to know for myself that this gospel is
amazing. The more I learn about this gospel the more I come
to love it. As I have helped people become more converted to
the gospel I have become more converted myself. I have come
to love repentance because without it none of us would get very
far. I have come to love the people I serve. It is amazing to be able
to see someone through the eyes of God. I want to do everything
I can to help others feel His love for each other them. Miracles are
a real thing. I am pretty sure that miracles happen right when we
think God has forgotten us. There is a story about the refiners fire.
It talks about how we need to get a little bit beat up before we can
become who we need to be. I love my Savior and I know He is there
to carry me when I can't take another step. I have definitely come to
know that you were always right - Ha ha - that has been kinda frustrating.
Thanks for always being there and helping me and showing me that
this gospel is true. I love being a missionary! I especially love it when
people yell at us on our bikes. I've heard some crazy stuff but it is all
worth it. I'm excited to still have a year left to serve as a missionary.
I plan to give it all I have! Thanks for everything Mom. I love you!
Love Elder Merrill
