Lakeshore

Man this is a very different place! This last week has been getting to know the area and the members and both are very nice. Wednesday we had to go and get a cavity filled for my new companion Elder Brabec. Then the rest of what we've been doing has just been meeting members and the people out here.

For a fun way to find more people we can teach, we started doing a 5 question survey asking people questions like "do you think it's important to take care of your body?" "do you believe in God?" and so on and so forth. It's been really fun, most people out here are a lot like people back home so it's super welcoming and awesome to talk to them.

 Now it has been harder to teach people out here, a lot of people are comfortable and live great lives, perhaps that may be something we all go through in life. We may go through times of prosperity and I say enjoy it. The scriptures do say "if ye keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land."  but always take heed to remember where it all comes from. Don't be like the people of Nephi that are slow to remember God.

"how quick the children of men do forget the Lord their God,"

 But look to the Example of Captain Moroni and his Title of liberty, when others around him began to forget God and dissent from the church, he tore up his coat and put these words on it.

"In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children" 

I love this Gospel. Everyone I've met that lives it are incredible! And it's all because they remember who helps them. Have a great week and I'll write to you next time
