My dear Ward Missionaries. I hope so much that this past week was wonderful for you and your family. I hope that you have felt the love of Jesus Christ increase in your heart and homes.

Over the past couple weeks or so I inserted a picture of a tree that over time overcame the strength and hardness of a rock to eventually break through and flourish. It has such a wonderful message for each of us. That is what this life is all about. Planting seeds, it is our decision if we are planting good or bad, God like seeds or evil seeds throughout our lives

I Invite each of you to find 24 minutes and listen to our prophet and apostles discuss our Covenant path

We all have a responsibilty due to accepting our making these covenants with our Savior, to make efforts to help bring our brothers and sisters in this ward back to the covenant path

You might or might not be around long enough to see the fruit of these plantings. But I’m pretty sure that the day will come when those who eventually accepted the gospel will greet you with untold gratitude. What a glorious reunion that will be!!

Pray for miracles, pray for charity, pray for discernment, pray for wisdom. Most of all pray to develop that true conversion to Jesus Christ.

I’m grateful for each of you and your willingness to try to develop these friendships. Only 30 minutes a week and great are the rewards. Plant those seeds. As you plant in others, the Lord will plant new seeds in you also. God bless each of you. Please let me either personally, by individual text or email or phone call how you are doing. I really appreciate those of you who have communicated with me.  It is very helpful in letting the Bishop know of the flock he has responsibility over.

If there is anything I can do to help you then please let me know. The Lord is your ultimate companion and I testify that as you go about His work, He will be with you.

Love each of you
