Re: Elder King!

Hello Family!

Exciting news, this has been a great week! Extremely busy and full of lessons! It started off with great Thanksgiving dinners on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with the members!  We provided service to a less active who was living in filth. (I'll show you before and after pictures)  We've been continually meeting with M, who is still on-date for Nov 5 (Along with 2 others getting baptized that day!) M came to church for the first time yesterday and loved it!  He is just so awesome!  We also taught J, a ten-year-old investigator who is getting baptized as well.  Elder Raymant and I picked up 2 new investigators this week! (Not sure how solid they are yet, I guess we'll find out!)  Also we co-taught with the sister's new investigators, who is on-date for Nov. 29 : ) Really busy and great week!  Lots of great lessons, we were seriously running late for appointments because we had so many.

Love You All

So this week I was studying love and charity and the atonement and I realized something, I really lack love.  I need to love the people I am serving and I wasn't!  I need to love the Lord, but it was hard to feel the love back.  After a week of studying love, I now understand why I was feeling down, I just needed to love!  These past few days have been great because I applied love and the atonement to my life and it has really been a blessing.  Instead of teaching lessons, I'm teaching people.  I am really making that connection with them and I am starting to love them.  Loving the people I serve is helping them understand how to love the Lord.  IF ANYONE LACKS LOVE I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THEM TO ACCEPT THE ATONEMENT.  "Our love increases when we remember we are all God's children and that He loves us.  The love that results from this realization has the power to transcend all boundaries of nations, creed, and color."  

I really used the atonement in my life and I have seen the blessings that came from it.  I not only feel happier I AM Happier!  This area is really progressing right now and we are finding the lost sheep.-Luke 15. This success is because of His love.  Love is endless.  We need to love our neighbors, families, and people we are serving NO MATTER WHAT!

I bear my testimony, That I Know He loves each and everyone of His children no matter what mistakes we have made or people we've wronged. HE LOVES US, we now need to love Him and when we do, you Will receive blessings. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, amen.
