The Holy Ghost is the teacher

It got cold this week!

I have no pictures...I'll snap a few today and attach below.

Every missionary always dreams and hopes to baptise a family or at

least someone who will do great things in the church. Well I think I

found the family. Adam and Mary Jane are doing pretty good. He is the

fastest learner. We leave him with stuff to read and he will read it

all again and again then do his own research on gospel library

about that topic and watch videos. It shocks us. We were teaching him

about prophets and he asked if we have prophets and apostles now. Yes

his name is Thomas S. Monson. Adam says, "Oh I watched a video with him

speaking about the Book of. Mormon" (WHAT!!!!!) like who does that. He's

very funny and will throw in comments like oh I better start saving my

money so I can pay tithing! (We haven't taught him that he Just

learned it on his own)

Listen up. Often members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day

Saints are so used to the Holy Ghost it's hard for us to notice it.

Well I was in the same boat. Especially in missionary work- you teach

dozens of people who are curious but don't come to church or read.

Just like chatting. Then someone like Adam comes along. It's like wow

the Holy Ghost is really there with him teaching him. God has been

preparing Adam and his family for the gospel for years.

I talk about a lot of different things in my emails. 99% of the time I

talk about what I have learned or something that has helped me. In

reality I'm still Cale. Just an almost 21 year old. I don't know

everything. I'm not perfect. I am learning so much every single day. I

have ups and I have downs. I have learned how the gospel works in my

life. And it is great. A really big focus in our mission is teaching

what the gospel has done. I've spent so much time looking at my life.

Looking at experiences. All I can say is without our Saviour Jesus

Christ I would not have made it. I am who I am because of Jesus

Christ. His teachings have shaped me and pushed me. My values, my

goals, my desires all are based on the knowledge I have of God's plan

for us.

Alma 34:32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to

meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to

perform their labors.

We all make mistakes but it is ok. God loves us. He knows we aren't

perfect. He knows we are learning. Just keep trying and it'll all work

out.

I am a little not well at the moment. I've got a funky lump on my neck

so ya dealing with that this week. Pray for me 😃🙏🏼 (don't freak out

pls I'm still breathing fine) IM OK

Also it snowed here ! I've never been so happy to be cold.

So my companion missed about 6 inches of
the sausage, but this is the German sausage.

Well best wishes. December next week which is crazy. Love you all. Send me an email or letter. I'D LOVE IT.

Byee
