Week Seven

An Arizona Sunset

Sam is working hard and playing hard! Whether it's laser tag on p-day, a very dusty service project, playing the violin in Sacrament Meeting or going on splits with other missionaries where he's the "senior companion" for a day, it sounds like he's super busy and very happy.  

Here's what he says about one of his investigators:

"Our investigator is golden. He accepts everything we tell him/give him, and just from reading the Restoration and Plan of Salvation pamphlet he knows more than me. Almost not kidding. He could be a missionary right now. He's so excited for his [baptismal] date of Sept. 20, and committed to live the Word of Wisdom the first night we asked. I love that guy."

Lessons learned and goals to improve: 

"I'm realizing how important planning is. If you have no plan, you do no work. If you do no work, you don't have the Spirit. If you don't have the Spirit, you don't find, teach, or baptize."

"I'm trying to work on Christ-Like attributes, particularly diligence, virtue, and charity. I remember Grandpa telling me that the secret of missionary work is to love the people, and I can definitely see that."

Love you!

Elder Stowell
