I am not being transferred so I am staying in Del Norte. I
really love it here in the Valley. It is so great being a missionary I love
working with the people here and helping them draw closer to our Father in
Heaven.
There was a missionary broadcast from salt lake this week it
was all about how as missionary’s we are to teach repentance and baptize
converts. It was a great reminder to me that this work is not about anything
other than how much God loves His children. He has given us a sure way to
become better and to be happy with who we can become.
We had a really awesome experience this week helping one of
the Baptist churches clean their building after their fount flooded everything.
It was great to work side by side with them. The people were very grateful for
the help and we got to meet a lot of new people.
President Monson in the October conference said
God’s commandments are not given to frustrate us or to
become obstacles to our happiness. Just the opposite is true. He who created us
and who loves us perfectly knows just how we need to live our lives in order to
obtain the greatest happiness possible. He has provided us with guidelines
which, if we follow them, will see us safely through this often treacherous
mortal journey. We remember the words of the familiar hymn: “Keep the
commandments! In this there is safety; in this there is peace.”
I want to reaffirm that what he said is true. When we follow
the commandments of God we can find peace that will last.
I know that the Words of God are said to protect us from the
true dangers that can come in to our lives when we do not follow the simple
truths of the Gospel.
Love you all!
Elder Stewart
