Faith of Abinidi

So my companions name is Elder Perry if you didn't know, he is a great missionary. I heard that Hunter and Eli were able to teach the first lesson with Austin or something, that is awesome! Since I have been here I have only taught the first lesson at someones home twice. We have taught parts of it a lot out on the street but people never seem to want to see us again, but its okay because I know I am doing what the Lord wants me to do. We are teaching a lady the second lesson this week, her name is Sandy Palmer. She is about 50 and might have been a witch or something. She is a very sweet lady and says she believes everything we say, so that is cool. We have been knocking on a lot of doors this week and done a lot of street contacting and we are just praying for people to teach. We set up a football game in the ward next Tuesday and we have a ton of less actives coming out so it will be good. The other day after district meeting I was standing at a bus stop in my suit and it was pouring rain, a car decided to drive right by us and all the water in the gutter splashed on to me.. I was soaked! My companion was laughing his head off! I am seriously learning so much in my study. I read from the Book of Mormon and Preach my Gospel every morning I  love the story of Abinidi. He only converts one soul to the gospel, but because of that one person (Alma) hundreds of people are baptized. Its such a good story. I'm trying to have the faith of Abinidi and I know my faith grows everyday and will continue to grow. The Lord blesses all those that will do what he asks of them. I'm not near the Olympics, but I hear about it from the members in the ward and it sounds awesome. A guy in the Reading ward, which is in my mission area, called me the other day and said he was doing family history and said that we were related. So he is coming to Bath tonight and taking us out to dinner so that will be fun!  Love you all, thanks for your prayers!


"Keep the faith.  It pays great dividends!"
