So this past week was a pretty awesome one! We had a Baptism!!!!!!!!! I have talked a little bit about Corey in my past emails. He is a boss! He got baptized on Sunday and Elder Souza and I had to give the talks at his baptism. He came up to us after his baptism and he gave me a hug and told me "Thanks". That was the best feeling that I have ever had my whole life. I have my doc. appt. today at 2. and I will shoot you an email when I find out whats going on. I found out that I will be getting transferred in 2 weeks so make sure to send my mail throught the mission office unless you can get a package to me before we get close to October 9th. I had an amazing study this past week that has changed my life! I was reading in Mosiah 4 and I came across verses 11- 12. I also was reading a very common verse Matthew 11: 28-30 and Christ says, come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest. take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart. It was the last line that stuck out to me. I thought about what he said. He didnt say I am the Son of Man or that I am the Mediator between you and the Father or I am the Son of God. He said, I am meek and lowly in heart... I realized that almost all of the issues that I get into are caused by my pride. I have realized that when we are meek we are on the path to being like Christ, and when we get a little Pride we are in the total wrong direction. I have tried for this past week to be as meek as I possibly can, and it has been hard... But I have not had a better week! I havent said too much in this email, but what everything I have said I mean. Thanks for all you do! The church is true! Love, Elder Dye
