The Man Who Gave It All - Sepember 23, 2013

The Lord asks us to give Him everything and He will provide. He gave us all that He had, can we not do the same?

Monday we went to do some lessons but no one could do it. That's okay. We had a family night with an ami (investigator) and it went really well.

Tuesday we had a bunch of lessons scheduled but a few got canceled and we forgot to go the one of them. Ha, we have very patient amis.

Wednesday we did a split and worked with the members.

Thursday was crazy, Friday was crazy as well and Saturday was crazy.

We have a lot of things that happen, lots and lots of lessons and running around and calling people. But I can tell you that the tender mercies are so sweet. We had to find two brothers to do a split in 15 minutes and we were able to. We had to teach a ton and we were able to. Everything works out.

The best moment of the week was when we were sitting on the ground teaching the first lesson and I felt the Spirit so strongly.

This work is so sacred. My family and friends, please share this gospel. I love you all. I am sorry for all wrongs I have done to you and I am so grateful for your patience.

I love you all so much! Keep praying, reading, and walk safely.

Love, a little sun burnned and a little wet,

Dear Friends and Family - September 16, 2013

I love you all.

 

Miracles happened this week.

 

We have people accepting the gospel all over the place. We are really starting to get baptisms and starting to have problems. That's a good thing. The more good we do it seems like the more opposition we face. We had someone come up to us at church, he wanted to do a lesson right then. We started talking and he said that he wants to be baptized. He already knows the church is true and he wants to get married and baptized as a surprise for his girlfriend. Absolutely amazing. I didn't know what to do.

 

I know that miracles happen.

 

Faith takes humility and love means patience.

  I love you!   Elder Squires

Churo? - September 9, 2013

I found out there are churos here but there are filled with Nutella! Ha! It's great.

 

Things are great here. The week started out pretty normal. We have several amis (investigators) who are almost ready for baptism. It's so awesome to see them change. Dominique is one of my favorites. He is 25ish and has problems with smoking. He has a really great personality and he loves to talk. We taught him more about the word of wisdom and the importance of following it. He is trying to quit and he keeps telling us how hard it is. And that is so true. Life is not easy but it is so worth it. I can't tell you how much I have learned in the past few weeks.

 

But I want you all to know something very simple. Fight the battle. That's it. Fight every temptation, every challenge, every second you have, fight. It's so worth it. Why? Because God said so.

 

That is my testimony this week. I leave that as a servant of the Lord and in His Holy Name, Jesus Christ.

 

Amen.

 

I love you all so much!

 

Love, Elder Squires

Wow! - September 2, 2013

Ha, things go by so quickly I don't have time to breathe. We taught over 20 lessons this week (not counting the ones that were cancelled). We have several investigators who are preparing for baptism. It is so great when they accept the commitment to be baptised. I love it out here.

I love you all with all my heart. God lives and loves us so much. He just wants us to not worry about things and go go go. He takes care of things perfectly, for which I am very grateful.

I love you all!

p.s. I am in need of ties. The color blue is preferred.

This is a normal beautiful day out here!
