Hello All!
First off, Good luck Flyers! I know you can take state again! Also,
congratulations to the cast of Tarzan. I've heard nothing but good
about the show, and I'm sure you all did a fantastic job! Time is sure
flying fast, but I'm glad it's bringing more and more good things.
Things are great here, just a little cold. Today it's actually not
even bad. It's warmed up to -2 Celsius, which is a lot better than
-18. It's beautiful, though. The great thing about Calgary is that
even though it's freezing and there's snow and ice everywhere, it's
still sunny with a gorgeous blue sky. I love it!
I'll
warn you in advance that this'll be kind of short, and that's partly
because of all the great emails I got today. Thank you everyone! It
means a lot to know that people actually remember me. ;)
Another reason this will be kind of short is that we are no longer
teaching two of our investigators. We had a lesson with Ishan
yesterday, and he really doesn't have a desire to know if this really is
the one true church. We dropped him on good terms, though, and I think
we'll still see him out to activities and such. We were also supposed
to have a lesson with Crystal this week, but that didn't happen, and
then we got in touch with her yesterday only to find out that she
wasn't really interested anymore. The Law of Chastity isn't a problem
for some other churches, so she's decided to go an easier route. Pretty
disappointing, but it's all good. Even though we have to bear
disappointments and challenges in missionary work and life, I've really
come to know here that the Lord will always provide for our needs and
for what He needs to accomplish his work.
It's not all
gloom and rain clouds, though, because we've still got Lana! She's
progressing marvelously well, and is still planning on being baptized on
the 29th. We met with her a couple times this week, and she accepted
the Law of Chastity, the Law of Tithing, and the Word of Wisdom no
problem. She does drink coffee, but she knows it's bad for you, and I
don't think she really wants to be drinking it anyway. She's truly
awesome.
I think that the Lord is teaching me the
importance of being bold and unapologetic about the truth lately. The
Atonement of Jesus Christ has the power to redeem all men from our
sinful and filthy state, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way
for us to access that power. It's the only way! How grateful I am for that! As it says in Romans. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation"!
I love you all, and I hope you all have a fantastic week! Remember who you are! Be good! Have fun!
Love,
Elder Hafen
