Yes, with my 2nd “in the field” Thanksgiving
comes the Christmas season once again. What a wonderful time for everyone to
get together and turn towards Christ. We spent Thanksgiving dinner at a member’s
home named the Petersons. It was good. They cooked the turkey wonderfully and
it was incredibly juicy! I probably ate half the dark meat of that turkey!
On an exciting note, we had 5
investigators at church this week! It was amazing! One of the investigators we
brought had not been to any church in years! It was amazing. To top it off Elder
Jennings and I were speaking in church. We both spoke for 10 minutes, and we
spoke on missionary work (go figure J). My talk basically was about the qualifications
of missionary work in D & C 4 – “faith, hope, charity, and love, with an
eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work." I melded faith
and hope together because of their similar themes; same with hope and charity.
I think the best part was when I crossed referenced "eye single to the
glory of God," to Moses 1:39 which is "This is my work and my glory,
to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." I said that God
expects us to desire the salvation of others, to trust him, and to keep his
commandments. All of this qualifies anyone to be a missionary. I hope I did a
good job, but that's in the eye of the beholder J
We had an emergency interview with
president Maynes this week. At first it was just for Elder Jennings and then he
talked to me. He just wanted to see what he could do to make my mission better.
It was a good interview.
But anywho, the holidays are coming.
I'm more excited than I've been in a while because of the deep rooted love for
Christmas I have thanks to my father and mother J. Well that’s all the news I have
for now. But I love you all so much and good job on those lights dad!
Elder Bringhurst
