12 April 2016 The 2nd
week of the 4th months known as April in the year 2016
Heller to all y'all Yankees, Southern Brothers,
and foreigners alike
(aka Canadians),
Sorry I'm getting this out so late but we are just coming home from a
hike with our ward mission leader and the sister missionaries in our
congregation (yes we got approval). So I am typing this up on the
drive home. This week has been awesome! We really dedicated ourselves
to reaching our goals this week and it has really paid off! We talked
to so many people, and for some reason we found a lot of the sour
pickles in the jar, but it doesn't matter it's part of the calling! I
know that what I'm sharing with them is something that can bless them
and their families, but it's up to them to accept it or not.
This week was a bit tough to start out. We had a baptism all lined up
for one of our investigators, but her dad wouldn't let us come over to
get her ready for her baptism! It is very easy to get aggravated and
upset as a missionary, but if you let Jesus Christ and the gospel
become a part of you then nothing gets to you. Everything you do is
filled with a love for someone else, every part of missionary work
makes you forget about yourself and think about someone else, I love
it! If I were trying to share the gospel and be a missionary for
myself or for Worley glory, then I would literally be wasting God's
time. Love is key.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to change. Because we cannot
become more like the Savior unless we change. But change is not
possible unless we live the gospel of Jesus Christ. That means having
and SHOWING our faith in Jesus Christ, repenting of our sins (the cap
that unlocks the bleach to wash our bloody garments (aka the
Atonement)), being baptized to wash the spiritual muck off of us,
receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost to help us make choices to follow
Jesus Christ, and never ever getting off the path of discipleship. The
gospel is void if we don't live it, if we don't endure well to the
end. It's like unlocking a door then braking off the handle. We may
make mistakes, but Christ is willing to forgive. Sometimes it amazes
me to think that He is so willing to forget my mistakes, sometimes I
think they sent the mission call to the wrong Zach Crow! But I know He
loves me, and I love Him enough to love my brothers and sisters in
sharing the restored gospel with them.
God loves you even if no one else does,
Much love,
Elder Crow
