Hello Everyone!
This week was both hard and great!
It
was hard because I couldn't watch March Madness, but oh well. It was
great because we found two new people to teach!! One of them is named
Randall. He has two kids, and he's about 40ish years old. He's very open
to giving the BoM a try, we just have to help him find that answer. The
second one's name is Jessie. He just moved here from Saskatchewan (I
spelled that right my first try!! No joke!!), and he's working for the
military. He's a really nice guy, and he wants us to come and teach him
more, so that's pretty exciting!
On Wednesday we got to go to Houlton, Maine, for District meeting! That was awesome because America is awesome.
This
past week I studied humility. I was reading in 2 Kings, chapter 5 about
the story of Naaman and how he had to humble himself in order to be
cured of his leprosy. Heavenly Father doesn't ask us to do grand things.
Rather, he asks us to do simple and humble tasks in order for us help
others and ourselves. In Ether 12:27 we learn that HUMILITY=STRENGTH. So
as we do the humble things the Lord has asked us to do (repent,
priesthood service, read scriptures, and pray), we can become stronger
in all aspects of our life through the enabling power of the Atonement.
Hope you all have an awesome week! Thanks for the support!!! Stay cool!!!
Love,
Elder Haslam
P.S. Thank you family and friends for all of the birthday wishes!!! Love you guys!!
