Dear friends and family,
It stoped raining.... and there are no clouds in the sky, so summer must be here again. It has gotten really hot, and the good thing is that it makes it easier to find people.
Not a lot of people will tell you no when you look like you are dying of heat. Haha.
But, it has been a really good week. One of the miracles that we saw this week was that an investigator that we have been teaching (B) has been really having some struggles coming to church. He is part of a band and Saturday night is when they go to perform. He loves the Gospel, but his band makes it kind of hard to get up for our 8 oclock church session.
But, we talked to him on the phone a few times this week and had a really powerful lesson about repentance and the word of wisdom, and he left his band early so that he could get up on time to come to church. it was really awesome!
It reminds me of a quote by president Boyd K. Packer that says, True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior.
And it is true. If you want to change, The Lord will help you with that, but you need to do your part. Study out the doctrine, and ask if it is true. If you do that, you will change. And you will change quicker and permantly. That is the power of the doctrine of Christ.
I love you guys!
Love,
Elder DuBose
p.s. We took some pretty good pictures right before we got to the compueters. Haha.
p.p.s. We made quesadillas and I put some hot sauce on mine. Blew my companion´s mind. Haha. The pictures are a little blurry, but that is alright. I think it captures the excitment that he felt. Haha
