So Elder Murray did not send any pictures this week so I thought I would add one in (: It's been a super awesome week. I love my companion and the work is going forth in the West Point area and the NYNYN mission! We are getting excited for the 2017 Christmas initiative! We are gonna have a #whitechristmas (as in white baptismal suits) we have two people we are teaching who have baptismal dates for December and we are so excited for them! We have been watching their lives change for the better as they have been coming unto Christ. This work is truly amazing! Most of the time im just in awe how things work out so well. This work is SOOO much bigger than sometimes we think it is. Thats is why the small things count. No effort is ever wasted. Ever.
This last week we saw one of the coolest miracles. We didn't have a lot going on that afternoon so we were out trying to find some new people to teach. We have been praying fir solid new investigators and had been knocking a lot of doors, and not too much success came from it. We did feel prompted to knock this one street that morning so we did and knocked the whole street and there was this one lady that was gonna let us right in her house but there was not a dude in there so we couldn't. We will be teaching her soon. Her name is Connie. Well the last door was coming up and we went forth with faith. Well we met this family who had just left the Catholic church and she said her and her family were looking for a new church to join. We taught her some of the restoration and it was awesome! We asked her if we could come back another time and she said yes!! Like a serious yes. She has a husband and 2 kids that we know of. It was such a miracle! Highland Falls is on fire! After all these years of sowing it's time to reap! This week we had 7 people committed to coming to church. 3 actually came and had good experiences and we will have more next week! I got to go on a split with one of the missionaries that is having a hard time in the mission. It was a good experience and I tried to help him the best I could. He is from Samoa and is a really great guy. Just needs to have more patience with people. It was a good split! The scripture of the week is Helaman 5:8-9 8 And now my sons, behold I have somewhat more to desire of you, which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may boast, but that ye may do these things to lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, yea, which is eternal, and which fadeth not away; yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life, which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers. 9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world. As we live the gospel we are laying up ourselves treasures in heaven. Isn't that awesome!? I love the gospel. I love you all! Have a fantastic week! Elder Murray
