5 FOOT IGUANAS AND DIRT TRAILS February 18, 2018

Valentine's Day came and went, along with its surprises and tricks. Long story short, Elder Nonu ended up with a 5 foot iguana on our back patio, which served as a guard for a few nights in preparation for "sopa de garrobo". I'll keep you posted on how she goes! 

God is truly showing me that this is work. He has taught me that we have to be willing to pay the price to find his elect and chosen children. He wants our work, consecration, faith, diligence, obedience, talents, and prayers. A giant lesson I learned is that to be prayerful over EVERYTHING will lead to the hidden door with a family waiting to be taught. Nonu and I after our weekly planning with the zone last night, left our Bishop´s house with a prayer to find a family. At 9:15, we were on our way home without any positive. We mad an abrupt stop at a darkened house, and lightly knocked. A father came out, quickly invited us in, and told us he had been waiting to be taught by servants of God about his will. We met the family and something special is going to happen in that home with the Gospel!

Everyday we saw miracles working with Elder Morales. He convinced an eternal investigator about the errors in the Catholic church and humbly beared testimony of the importance of asking God for his answer to what we have been teaching for so long. Reynaldo, the mans name, came to church this sunday and told his sister that he has never felt so close to God as he has read the BOM and listened to us teach him. He asked what he should do to her.. She said "GET BAPTIZED!" This friday, he is going to choose the day for the dunk contest!

The dirt trails are what I live for. The Chosen live amongst them! I love you all. 

Elder Brayden Campbell

If heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight
If they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night
Then what did motivate their climb?
What did companions never feel?
Was it fear or prize sublime?
Did obligation feed their zeal?
Each height by great men reached above
Is motivated out of love.
