"Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

- Matthew 7:9-11

This week, we were able to see the fruits of our labor. We saw all the hard work that we have been doing here be rewarded with blessings. It appears as if my comp will be leaving me, and I will stay here in this sector to continue working. But, all is well; I will miss a great friend, and it will be great to be able to continue hearing from him in the future. 

We were able to find a bunch more investigators than we were finding before. We are still working hard as always, and we were blessed! It was a great week, teaching all kinds of people that have been yearning to hear from the missionaries and putting people at ease about the purpose of life and all that it holds for us. It was really great to see all the work that we were able to do together these 6 weeks. I was really glad to have been able to participate in this miracle. We have a strong ward now. People feel much closer to one another, and they socialize more. It has been a great change! 

Today, I'd like to share a short scripture that we shared this week that I really liked. It is in Matthew 7:9-11. It talks about how even parents know how to give good gifts; so it is the same with our Heavenly Father who is willing to give us all He has. I testify to you all that we truly have a loving Heavenly Father who watches over us and is always thinking about us. I invite you all to watch the link below because it really helps me to remember my relationship with the Father.
