Querido familia,
This week
has been Marvelous. We have seen the glorious hand of the Lord as we
have worked hard, and have put into practice the teachings of the
conferences we have recently received.
Transfers
are actually next week. this week we had a leadership meeting in
Barcelona, It was great, we learned so much!!!! and ate good too!!!!
I
have been so happy!!! Extremely exhausted but happy!!!! I received the Halloween package, and the thanksgiving letters!!! thank you so much!!!!
It was very thoughtful of you!!!!
Glad
Disneyland was a blast!!! sounds like a great last vacation for Kalee!!
Loved the videos!!! Thanks pops!!! especially the smokey the bear!!!!
I
have truly been learning the correlation between faith and works. In
the General Epistle of James it states, "Even so faith, if it hath not
works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast
faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will
shew thee my faith by my works." That scripture has impacted me in many
ways. I have learned that of course, We can't just rely on faith. If I
say that I know the Lord answers prayers, and believe it with my whole
soul but then never search the scriptures to find it, I will never
receive the answer I am looking for.
I have also learned that
faith is something you have to work at. We have to keep pushing our
faith and the Lord with help us see miracles. Nephi didn't start by
building the ship, he started by praying to know if the teachings of
his father were true, then he followed through with his commandments,
always working at his faith. I hope that I can continue to build my
faith, by pushing myself and always confiding in the Lord Jesus Christ!
This
week we had the opportunity to teach the family our recent convert,
L. He has two daughters and a son. They were able to come to church
on Sunday and it was a great miracle. His wife couldn't attend but his
children came! They all accepted dates to be baptized this month so we
are getting excited for them!!!!
I can't lie, I
don't want the Tyson/Campbell companionship to come to a close. It has
been a wonderful three act performance with twists and turns, an
incredible live orchestra, and a very grand climax. Elder Campbell has
been the fearless protagonist, the magnanimous hero, if you will, the
man who has dug deep and found his true prize. I feel like his noble
steed, shimmering in the sunlight, giving support to our brave knight as
he conquers the dragon, saves the day, and baptizes the villain. I have
been truly grateful for him and all he has done for me!
Today
was the last preparation day with Elder Campbell so I basically let him
take the lead! we went to a documentary in like one of those hemispheric
rooms (with permission from President) and it was incredible!!! A
little boring, but we learned a lot about Dinosaurs!!! We then went to
the mall and ate McDonalds....
Love you lots!!! hope you have a great week!!!
Elder Tyson
