So this week was pretty great! What an amazing lesson we learn in 1st Corinthians 13. I love it.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. A cool thing happened this week. So A sister (senior couple) started talking to us and telling us how she's never had a spiritual confirmation that the book of Mormon is true or that Jesus is the Christ or that God exists. She is probably 70 or so and has been in the church for 35 years. Her husband's been the bishop a couple times and she just opened up and told us all this. She told us that she doesn't absolutely know all these things to 100 percent true. As she was talking I could relate to her pretty well. I felt God's love for her and that has never happened to me before! It was just an overwhelming feeling and I could tell that she was sincere and that she wanted to know 100 percent and I just started to tear up. It was kinda awkward but I just testified to her that I knew that God loved her. I told her I could feel it for crying out loud! It was a cool experience. The baptismal covenant stuck out to me after that happened. Mosiah 18 I believe. We have been setting and achieving daily goals like maniacs this week! It gives you so much more purpose! We invited 16 people to church yesterday alone! It was awesome! President Russell M. Nelson is coming to our mission! I am so excited! Dang! Robert Vikara is getting baptised on September 2nd! We are excited for him! He is such a stud! All the cadets are back for school and it awesome! We get to meet with them all the time! They all love coming out with us too! So our ward is like a YSA/family ward 50/50. It's awesome! I love the mish! I love you all! Elder Matthew Murray
