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.

Line up the rickshaws

This week was so good! Holy cow! Matoury is doing great. This week we were able to set a hard date with our investigator that came to church last week. It was one of the most miraculous experiences ever. We talked about Baptism and left her with 2 Nephi 31 to read earlier in the week, and asked her if baptism was something she wanted to do, and she responded 'Absolutely'. We set the date the next day and said: "We would like to set a date for your baptism." And she responded "I think thats a good idea, because I got my answer last night." I was completely blown out of the water. Nobody has ever just told us they received their answer like that. She was so prepared by God, that when we suggested the 26th for her date, she paused, smiled, and said "yes". That was it. It was a true miracle. Her name is Lilia, and she is a single mother, 33 years old, with 4 boys (11,9,5,and 3). She brought her cousin with her to church on Sunday. That was super duper cool. We are still hunting for a Church, and I realized that there has to be something more we could do to find a building, so I am going to fast and pray about that. With the contacts, we have found many cool people and have some really cool investigators. We had our Zone Conference in Suriname this week, which is why the Email is late, and it was incredible, as usual. I am definitely going to miss that. Elder Anderson, one of the Area Presidency was there, and taught one of the most awesomely intense lessons I ever heard. Elder Taerea is doing well. He continues to teach me, and I am learning to be patient. I love him though. 2 weeks ago as we applied the new definition of contacting without asking questions, the Lord stuck right in our path an investigator who was prepared to receive the gospel, that, if it wasn't for the new rule, I might not of contacted. My testimony of the truthfulness of this work continues to increased. I know the Lord blesses obedience abundantly.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Have a good week, Elder Ison
