So I don't know how it is going for all of you out there in the distance, but for us in Ely IT IS FREEZING COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO COLD ALL THE TIME. But that is okay. At least I'm not in Canada. But speaking of Canada, my new companion Elder Rivers is from there!! So that is pretty cool!! Literally.
Elder Anderson will be going to sparks! Along with all of my old companions? They all will be in sparks and in the same zone?? Strange? But they will all have fun where it is warmer!
I love it out here!! On monday we had a nerf war as a zone.......pretty sweet as far as I'm concerned!!
That night we got the chance to teach a man named Jason Spear. He is a less active man who has cancer. he is 26 and has blood cancer. he spends 1 week out of 3 doing through chemo therapy in Salt Lake. He is a good man. he loves the savior and knows that there is a reason for him being where he is. He has a 20 percent chance to make it through all this. And he believes he will. But he trusts God even if he isn't! This man has incredible faith, and is truly humble. And because he has a weakened immune system, we have to wear a mask to be with him. It's crazy!!
We have had a lot of teaching happen this week! It has been tons of fun! I love being a missionary will all my heart!!
In 2nd Nephi 25:10 it talks about how many jews will be destroyed and the rest were carried away captive into babylon. It happened because they were so wicked. They made so many mistakes that they lost the right to be in zion. In our lives out here we make mistakes. We can let them destroy us even. Or we could let them carry us captive into babylon, or the world. But even if we do get carried captive into babylon because of our sins, we , just like the jews, can return. Once we turn unto the Light and Life of the world. Once we come unto Christ. Unto him who is Mighty to Save. Unto the Prince of Peace. Unto the Lord of Lords. The King of Kings. Unto Imanuel. Unto The Redeemer. unto Jesus Christ. He will carry us on his back into Zion. Into the fold. We are loved by Him. This Christmas season, do one of the things on the church advent callender. There are videos for each day and a list of things to do. Do at least one a day! I promise you will feel the Light!!
I love all y'all and each y'all
Elder Miner
