This week was filled with a lot of success! the branch is
finally warming up to us!! and the work here is starting to pick up!! we are
turning this area around!!!!
Even though we go through hard times and it seems like you
cant make it through your trial just remember Christ is always there to help,
in a talk I was reading this week, it said that you getting trials is a
sign of Gods love for you, because if he didn't love you he wouldn't
"waste" his time in giving you trials so you can become who he wants
and knows you can become.
I love you all and miss you all!
Love,
Elder Durfee
