Dear Family and Friends,
Soo this past week was not too bad. not the best when it comes to missionary work but hey im doing my best.
on monday we went golfing and i had a lot of fun. im still not very good but we had golf carts and everything was free except for the cart. i paid 3.50 for it. i actually hit on the green on a par 3 but i didnt birdie. I need more practice and i need consistent clubs. and someone to teach me a little bit more. Today i think we are just going to play vball, bball and a game like mafia in the church building. So its cool.
Well heath keeps saying im going to leave so i did my very best to leave him with some inv. this week we should pick up 2. one is a Ward mission process!!! those are way to few and far in between. Those are members setting up lessons for us. i wish people would just set them up and then invite us to the lessons. we will make sure one of us gets there. Anyways i was soooo excited when he called me! even though i set it up. i saw the NM at church asked the member to invite him and then he did it. Too bad people cant do that on their own. thats why i feel like a facilitator because people dont do these things if i dont ask because members get scared. i dont know what of because rejection is a part of life. we just need to get use to it. But we do have to ask everyone.
Anyways i was riding my bike on a back road in my area. it was dark and i really could see very well. i came up on a house that had an unusually bright light. it completely blinded me and i couldnt see the path at all. at that moment i had 2 options to hit the breaks and stop and go back or i could continue riding at that speed even though i couldn't see anything. i chose the the more daring and i kept riding. i had traveled the road before and i knew it wasnt that rough and i would be okay. and i was i made it through and everything was fine. I had been thinking lately about the light of the gospel. To most of us it helps us find the path and allows us to see. But to those in darkness it can blind you. and i really thought of the LA and the NM that are brought into the light it can be very scary. It takes a lot of faith to keep going by yourself. but if they had someone who has traveled the road before it would be much easier. Fellow shipping is very important.
Love Elder Salmon
