Doctrine and Covenants 4: 1-7

1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.

2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.

3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;

4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;

5 And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.

6 Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.

7 Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.

I really am having a rough time coming up with a clever subject line for this email.

Hey guys!
How are you? I am doing pretty good. We had a good week and worked hard. We painted our apartment this week and it looks a lot better. President Gamiette wants it temple like, so we have been working our butts off here to make it like that. We also have been working hard with investigators and finding new people. We have been working hard with the Bonbon's son Jonathan. He wasn't baptized with the rest of his family and went to France for a year on his own and lived a pretty gangsta lifestyle, but he came back of his own free will and choice, because he didn't like who he was becoming. He is a really quiet guy, but you can tell that he has a good spirit in there. We are praying for him because the Bonbons do so much for us and it would be nice if he could get baptized and sealed to them. Fun story, Saturday, Elder Olsen and I were walking home from teaching Jonathan Bonbon, and we both got this strange eerie feeling, but we couldn't figure out what it was. We called Elder Colling and he suggested we ask Frere Bonbon to come and bless the apartment. Long story short, He came and gave one of the coolest blessings ever. The feeling went away instantly. He is the best. We also have some other investigators whose strength is not quite sure at the moment. They could go both ways, but we are hoping and praying that they go the Lords way. We had a fun activity this week and played soccer with all the members in Guadeloupe. It was a really good time. I am way excited to see my room though. How was your week this week? I hope it goes well. I hope that there are no more health issues either. I love you guys so much! I gotta go so I will ttyl!


LOVE!

Elder Ison
