Family,
This week we taught a lot of lessons
and thought that we were going to have lots of people in church but when Sunday
came, only one came. I was super grateful that Diego came because we were both
really sad that nobody else came. We have two guys that are close to getting
baptized but haven’t gained a testimony of church attendance. We’re going to
teach them about the church and help them get to church because you can’t get
baptized without going to church!
On Sunday night, we had a meeting
with all the church leaders about the ward and what we can do to help in the
areas that are struggling. For most of the time they talked about the youth and
the problems that they’re having with seminary and mutual. Nobody goes. As they
talked about everything and it made me think of our ward back home and how
grateful I am that when I was in Young Men’s that I had friends that I could
depend on that would go to seminary and mutual and church. I’m thankful for
parents and leaders that gave me a push when I didn’t feel like going. A lot of
times in life we find ourselves without desire to do something. We must
surround ourselves with influences that help us choose the right. It’s really
hard to paddle against the stream when were alone and we can’t expect ourselves
to do such a difficult task by ourselves. We need leaders and friends that love
us enough to help us in our cause. We have the promise that when we are
"in holy places," Heavenly Father will help us. Same thing goes with
the people that struggle to put themselves in those holy places. We must make room
and help them by making it easier to choose the right. I know that God loves us
and wants us to succeed. We must use our agency and do good!
So last night I made BANANA BREAD!!
It turned out perrrrrrfectttt. Elder Castillo loved it too! Today I’m going try
to made root beer. Ill let you know how it goes. Haha
I don’t really have anything else to
say except… I love you all and I hope you’re enjoying your Summer.
Love,
Elder Hjelmstad
