| My Companion, Me and Elder Hull (My best friend on my mission) |
Hey! So this week was super great.
We had interviews with President
Giuliani and it was probably the best interview I’ve had in my mission. I
wasn’t nervous or anything and we just talked about me and my area and my
companion. I told him that I want to have success on my mission and he asked
what I consider to be "success." I told him that even though I know
that baptizing isn’t everything, I want to be able to look back on my mission
when I finish and smile without regrets. He stopped me and asked, "How many
people did Jesus Christ baptize?" According to the bible you can’t find a
place that says Christ baptized so many people but He still changed
mankind. We need to do everything possible on our part and have faith that
people will accept our message.
D&C 18:15
And if it so be that you should
labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it
be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my
Father!
On Saturday, we showed up at our
branch presidents house in service clothes and asked him to give us something
to do! We cleaned up his front yard and I really think it was good. He’s a
great president and serves all day long and deserves a little service as well.
I felt great doing it and we even cleaned out his gutter. haha We’re going to
try and serve the members more and hope to find people that are ready to hear
the gospel.
I feel like I have a ton left to
learn on my mission. I need to love more and serve others. Lots left to do!!
Love you all and hope this week is
great!!
GO NINERS!!
Elder Hjelmstad
