Hi Everyone!
I had a crazy week with a lot of good byes and hellos. I have a
new companion; his name is Elder Dorivs. He is from St. George, Utah. He is my
first companion from Utah, can you believe that? Haha! But we had a great week
with a lot of finding new people and being able to teach! I am excited to see
how much success we will have here these next few weeks. I am still in Loja, so
by the time this transfer ends, I will have been here for 6 months. I have
learned so much in this city. The biggest thing I have learned is this Branch
is the power and importance of PATIENCE with everything. Every single person
has imperfections, but the trick is that you have to learn to love the
imperfections of other people. Without that, there would never be any happiness
and be a ton of contention between people.
I know that the head of the church is God the Father and
Christ His Son. I also know that They run this Church by inspiring their
leaders. I know that the leaders are not perfect but they have been called of
God to serve. I know that His Church is
perfect and that I need to always magnify my callings in the Church to be able
to help other people at all times. (Jacob 1:19) I will forever be loyal to my
callings and try my best to serve and support my leaders for the rest of my
life. There is honestly nothing better for me than serving the Lord every day
and being 100% diligent in His work.
I know, without a doubt, that this church is true. I invite
all of you to be more diligent in your callings and always remember who really
called you to serve. I also invite you to see the good in each leader and I
promise you will always be happier and be even more in tune with the Spirit. I
love all you and hope that you have a great and amazing summer. Enjoy it
because time goes by way too fast! Be
safe and eat an extra Otter Pop for me!
Love,
Elder Sorenson
