for my two new companions to get here. Then we went our separate ways! But we
had a super effective day! We saw a less active in my area, and a lesson with
one of our other baptismal dates! We also had a very rough first lesson as a
trio with one of their investigators, but we made it through!

trying to help her with her understanding! She is coming along and is getting
excited for her baptism in December!
Sunday: today was very eventful! Super crazy! So we got
up got ready went to ward council, then we were sitting at church and the guy
who is getting baptized this coming Saturday didn't get picked up! So me and
brother kasteller left leaving behind my two companions and we went to pick them
up, well his wife is feeling sick! So we went back to church and got there just
after the sacrament! :( so I sat with Dale and brother kasteller, and he told
me he would come get me out of preisthood and we would take sacrament in the
next wards sacrament. So we went and had a great gospel principles class! Then
we started preisthood, set up for members to go out with us on splits! And then
we had elders quorum! And brother kasteller came got me we watched three
confirmations in that ward and partook of the sacraments! Then we finished
preisthood, then we came home and we had our studies because ward council
starts at 7:30! Then we tried my referrals and had some awesome success trying
them! It was amazing! Got some return appointments! Then we went tracting!
Tracting in a trio is so much fun! Had some weird excuses, one 50 year old guy told us sorry but I don't
talk to strangers! Haha but then we had dinner at the whites am turkey dinner!
He had some super funny stories from his mission! He is the best! Then we
hurried to our lesson with the baptismal date for this Saturday had a great
lesson on temples! Had some awesome laughs!
And their one dog can untie shoes! Haha sebull and
Delilah! Awesome names! Then we had a great lesson with another one of our baptismal
dates! She's so funny! But then we played a trick on Dale! By hiding in his
apartment! Haha after listening to one of our other baptismal dates sing in the
hallways!
This week was super awesome! The trio Larry, mo, and
curly are getting the hang of teaching together! Haha the three stooges! Well I
know that this church is true! And that this gospel truly changes lives, and
that as we focus on the small things that we have been commanded as it says in
D&C 82:10 we will be blessed! So we must do the small things in order to do
the big things! Reading, praying and going to church, or as Mosiah 2:22 puts
it: " he has promised you that if he would keep his commandments he should
prosper in the land, and he never doth vary from that which he hath said, therefore
if he do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you!
The scripture I'm ponderizing this week is: D&C 8: 10
" remember that without faith you can do nothing, therefore ask in faith.
Trifle not with these things, do not ask for that which you ought not.
I love this gospel I love the mission! I know that as we
focus on the small things and exercise faith all is possible.
Love,
Elder Durfee
