Elder Kimball Neilson: Another week at 9000ft

Hola,

It feels like I just wrote yesterday, time is really flying up here! I even hit 10 mounths on Saturday. Two more and I'll be halfway through my mission!

This week wasn't the most exciting, we weren't attacked by dogs or anything, mostly just contacting people. Elder Ituarte and I realized that even though we have been in San Pablo for a month and a half, and have contacted tons of old investigators, there are still a ton we haven't. We set the goal for last week and this week to try to contact all of the old investigators here to see if the are still interested.

We also had quite a bit of work for the music council, Zone Confrence are this week and a ton of stake Confrences are this mounth so we had quite a bit a stuff to do to get musical numbers set for those. We also had a few emergency calls were the music committee chair informed us that he was just told we have to get music numbers set up for for conference we weren't planning on, and for one we needed it set by the hour, great fun! We were able to get everything sorted out.

This week I had the opportunity to read D&C section 6, a revelation recived for Oliver Cowdery. There are a lot of parts I like but I will share only two one is verse 13 which says:

"If thou wilt do good, yea, and hold out faithful to the end, thou shalt be saved in the kingdom of God, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God; for there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation."

Salvation is truly the greatest gift of God! It is the reason we came to earth was to have the opportunity to return and live with him again. The for me what a blessing it is to have these two years to help others start the covenant path with ends with salvation. The other verse I liked was 23:

"Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?"

Oliver Cowdery had received a divine witness of the truth of Joseph Smith's testimony of the gold plates, but he was having doubts in spit of that. For me I know I sometimes do the same things, I can doubt what I know I have a testimony on. It is the the last part that I love "What greater witness can you have than from God?" When we receive a witnesses for the holy ghost we can't doubt it! It is the truest and most powerful witnesses that we can receive. I know that Christ lives and the he is our Savior and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is Christ's church on the earth.

Hasta la próxima,

Elder Neilson
