Highlights from May 15th letter

"Well, I'm not so sure h0w well my Spanish is coming along, but Thursday was the last time I got to teach in English. Next week we have to teach the entire first lesson (about the restoration) in espanol. Muy deficil. (very hard). :) But I know the Lord will help me. This week we read about Enoch - and we all know Enoch was a prophet and that his city was translated and everyone in it was taken up to Heaven. Well in Moses 6:31, when Enoch was first called as a prophet, he asks the Lord, why did you choose me? I am just a lad and I am slow of speech. The Lord replies to him in verses 32 - 34, "Open thy mouth and it shall be filled... for all flesh is in my hands... and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me." I love this scripture. The Lord loves us! What an amazing comfort and blessing for the Lord to ask Enoch "therefore walk with me." I want to live so that someday the Lord will invite me "therefore walk with me. "

Oh, and I haven't gotten a chance to call my investigator back yet. But I did get to call another lady. I talked to her about the restoration for like 30 minutes. She was really into it and was believing that it could have happened until I told her about the Book of Mormon and she suddenly stopped me to ask if we are Christian. I hopefully explained that we are. She still seemed open to hearing more and she said that it's okay if I send the missionaries over with a copy of the Book of Mormon.

Well, I love you all. I want you to know this really is the gospel and church of Christ restored on this earth! Heavenly Father loves us and wants nothing more than for us to be truly and eternally happy - Moses 1:39. And we can always go to the Lord if we need anything. The Savior knows everything we have ever gone through or will ever go through so He can strengthen us if we will go to Him! Alma 7:11-13, Ether 12:27."
