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.

How far away is that Plane?

We just got home so here is last week's email

Dear Family,
I have never used a keyboard with a space bar that was so freaky outty. If there are bazillions of extra spaces, you will know why. Thank you for your prayers, but it looks like we still need them. Matoury is still doing well. We are seeing many miracles as we try our best to work with the members and get our contacts. We did get to work with ex-President Baksh again this week, which was awesome, but unfortunatley Julio lost his phone, so we were not able to work him. Next week looks good on that front anyways. The super exciting news is we finally had an investigator at church, and she liked it. Her name is Lilia, and she was a lady I contacted a little over a week ago, and she is super legit. She has been searching for the truth, and said she feels close to finding it with our Church. Unfortunatley, we are again on the search for a place to have church due to a problem with the pool.(apparently pools aren't allowed...) As we improve the quality of our contacts, we are blessed. Elder Taerea is good. He is very busy with branch business and missionary work. He is doing a good job with both though. Nothing gets past Dad though. Elder Taerea's culture is a lot different than ours, and he's pretty stuborn, and its kinda a his way or no way sort of deal. He's been out for a year and a half. Its nothing too serious though. The church is true, and the Book of Mormon is the key to conversion. I know that it is true and am trying to use it better. God blesses us when we are obedient. I try not to think about how much time I have left, and usually I don't think about it. Everyone else here is trunky enough for me. "How much time do you have left? Less than 2 months? You are so trunky!" I hear that at least once a week, but according to Elder Jones I am "Significantly less trunky" than he expected. You don't have to worry about that yet. I do have startling realizations from time to time, such as the fact that my "replacement" is most likley already in the MTC. Zone conference was supposed to be this week, but unfortunatley, it was postponed til next weekend. We get to go to Suriname! My passport is looking pretty good! haha. I am glad everyone got home safe and all that jazz, and tell Steph and CJ to take luck to school with them. I gotta let you go, But I LOVE YOU GUYS! Enjoy your little vacation!

LOVE!

Elder Ison
