Well it is the end of another transfer. our transfers go by so fast now... It was a disappointment really Elder Ramos and i did our very best but we did not see many fruit. it was a tough transfer and we are praying to god to help know what we must do in order to be good leaders. i know that we need to lead our for this zone and its hard to help other people become better missionaries when they don't see us being successful. This was a very good Easter week with studying the atonement and thinking of the atonement and the resurrection. on sunday we had a bishop call us up to give a talk on the moment and i am grateful that i had been studying it and had it on my mind.
We didnt have contact with any of our investigators this week with it bein spring break it was rough contacting people. But although we are having hard times Elder Ramos and i are still having fun. we just started walking around our area during times when people are outside and its actually kinda nice because we dont have to rush anywhere and we can take time talking and getting to know people and inviting everyone. we have had no success from it but i feel like im doing really good missionary work when i talk to lots of people.
So for easter our landlord had us over for dinner and he made some great stuff. ribs and ham and deviled eggs. It was really good then they made us join in on the easter egg hunt. and they put money in there eggs. I made $25 and elder ramos made $23. haha it was pretty cool. i enjoyed it. And its been great weather for spring. in the mid to high 60s everyday with the sun shining! i think that i am starting to enjoy the sun but i still dont like the heat. that kinda sucks still.
HAPPY EASTER to everyone. i hope that you enjoyed it and were able to enjoy this time of the year. i know that we have a savior who paid the price for us because he loves us and that he has called us to follow him. and we show our faith and devotion by making covenants so that the grace of god can change us into the people that God wants us to be. The atonement of god does not take away our personal responsibility to keep the commandments. But it des save us from physical death so that we can be brought before god to be judge according to what we had desired here in this life. And we will be raised to that state we were in when we left this world. that means we have to decide to follow him here. For in Heaven there are many mansions and Jesus will prepare the mansion that we want to live in. And for those of us who have not learned how to be godlike, we wont want to be around someone who is a god. Just like we dont want to play in Carnegie hall if we cant play the piano, or be a major league baseball player if we never hit the ball or any number of analogies i could use. But if we continue in the gospel and try our best the atonement will change us. i know that god lives and that he has a son.
Elder Salmon
