Transfer 6:4 - 3 Nephi 5:13

Hello Everyone! 

I hope that you are all doing well and that there is peace in your life!

This past week has been a great one for sure! I have learned a lot about how faith can bring miracles and blessings to anyone who is willing to act on their beliefs! 

On Tuesday we had exchanges and I was with one of the Zone Leaders, Elder Hall. We had a great time and we also taught some great lessons in his area! One lesson that we taught was to a single mother that we found as we were finding. We could tell that life has not been easy for her and that she needed peace. As we taught about our divine nature as children of God, her countenance completely changed. She even said that she was considering going to Church for the first times in 4 years! It continues to amaze me how when we follow the Spirit as we minister to those around us in love, we can literally bring peace into their life. It is a great privilege!

Thursday was a great lesson in patience and attitude! A lot of our appointments fell through and so we only taught a few people and did finding for most of the day. While the outcome was minimal, it was our attitude that made the few lessons that we taught very powerful and filled with the spirit!

The weekend was also terrific! Saturday evening we decided to do finding outside of the Chapel, and we contacted about 15 people! Some of which were even Muslims who wanted to know more about The Book Of Mormon and how it could teach more about who Jesus Christ actually is. So that was cool! It was also my wonderful companion Elder Tryon's idea! 

Sunday was another powerful day at church. Our attendance spiked up to 74 people and the lessons really touched the hearts of our investigators! 

Needless to say, we are seeing many blessings in our area. Sure, the work is difficult and can be seen as insurmountable, but I know that if we have trust in The Lord and in those we work with that anything can happen! I know it sounds clique, but I can promise you that it is true! 

With that I challenge each of you to reach out to someone that perhaps you don't talk to often and to make them happy! I can promise you that serving others in this way can bring peace to everyone's life.

I love all of you and I am grateful for your support and love! 

Mosiah 2:21 

21 I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be
unprofitable servants.

1 Peter 4:19

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

3 Nephi 5:13

13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

Love,

Elder O'Hagan
