I asked Sam to decide what he wants on the blog each week so this is straight from him. I think this format will work much better instead of having me summarize or cut and paste. We're so glad he's doing so well!!
This week we've seen miracles.
This week we've seen miracles.
We've been helping with the flood victims in northern Mesa, and the damage is terrible. So many people have lost much of what they own, and some have to renovate much of their home. But within a couple days of the flood, missionaries were mobilized to help those in need. Then on Saturday, 230 of the 250 missionaries in Mesa Mission were gathered to help. We spent several hours tearing out walls, moving sandbags, and passing out flyers. The city got calls on how grateful the people were and how effective and happy the missionaries were as they helped. It feels so good just to serve and work hard.
Also, one of our investigators solidly committed to live the Word of Wisdom and at the end of the lesson dumped all of his tobacco into the garbage. Others we are teaching are also working on overcoming their addictions. It's great seeing people coming unto Christ, both alone and together with others.
I'm grateful for the gospel in my life, the joy it brings me, and that others around me can see the joy from having that knowledge.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Stowell
