Being an Example is Important

Hola a todos. This week went very well. We have been working with our friend B to help her grow closer to Jesus Christ. Being a leader to those you teach is important because you show them how to live a life more involved with Christ. I have enjoyed serving as a missionary now in the Flag Staff Mission and have seen so many blessings from helping others grow closer to Jesus Christ. My time as a missionary is coming closer to an end. As I reach the final push, it will be difficult but with the Lord all things are possible. I have loved my mission and every person I have met. All my companions have had large impacts on me and I have learned a lot from each of them. The Book of Mormon contains many examples of how to live Gospel principles. One of my favorite stories is the story about Lehi joining with Ishmael and his family. At this point Lamen and Lemuel are murmuring more and more against Nephi and this verse shows how great of a leader Nephi was to his older brothers.Ā 

1st Nephi 8:7Ā 

7. And now I, Nephi, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, therefore I spake unto them, saying, yea, even unto Laman and unto Lemuel: Behold ye are mine elder brethren, and how is it that ye are so hard in your hearts, and so blind in your minds, that ye have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you, yea, and set an example for you?

As I near the end of my mission, I will always remember my companions I have had and the examples they were to me in learning how to teach better. Thank you all for your love and support. I am truly blessed to be here at this time serving the Lord and helping others come closer to Him. May The Good Lord bless you all this week.
