No I'm kidding he's not an idiot. This week Elder Paravato left on emergency changes. I think it was planned that he leaves during changes which is coming up this Wednesday. For some reason they had to take out a missionary from an area so they sent him there to replace the missionary that left. So now I'm just with Elder Roeller.
It's been a good week. We put a baptismal date with this girl named Iris for the 15th of May. She is really positive it's just that her mom is kind of against it. We also have this other investigator named Maribel. She wants to get baptized and knows that she needs to but she is having a hard time making the commitment. Like I've said probably ten times, people are afraid of commitment in this country. We are hoping to put a set baptismal date with her soon.
I was listening to the talk "Safety for the Soul" by Elder Holland this morning while I was getting ready. In it he talks about Lehi's dream. In the dream there is a bunch of people. They are all on this path that leads to the tree. However, a dark mist comes and surrounds all of them, not just wicked people are affected by the mist but all of the valiant and righteous people as well. No one can see the path. No one. The righteous, the wicked, no one. The only they could get to the tree was by way of the iron rod. The tree is the love of God. The iron rod, which Nephi later explains to us, is the word of God. So we are in a world and the mist is here. How can we get back to God? Only by way of the iron rod. It kind of hit me how important it is that we study the scriptures. If you are not studing the scriptures frequently, do it. If you are, good. Improve it. It is essential that we take the scriptures to heart. Also remember Elder Ballard's invitation to study Preach my Gospel.
Love you all.
