Wow I cant believe that this Sunday is mothers day, it seems
just like a month ago when i talk to you before on Christmas. Wow but yeah so
this week was alright. We both had a hard time this week. It was just well i
guess. We had lots of appointments go through and lots of time that was not
very efficient with anything.
WE went on exchanges this last
Tuesday, but nothing extremely exciting happened. I left the area again and we
walked alot but the last like 15 min we were heading back to the apartment and
we ran into a man, and he started talking to us. he was really cool. not
interested in what we share, but was very happy we were doing it in "this
neck of the woods" hes a Vietnam vet, ex-Professional baseball player, and
he asked us what are the most important 4 things in life. I didnt know where he
was going with the question so i told him to answer. he Said 1, Put God First,
2 Take care of your Health, 3 Make sure your Happy, 4 Family. He said
thats the way he did it in life and he really found lots of good things come
from it. But i really enjoyed it, because those 4 things are very true. And to
make it Even better just put an eternal Perspective and it really makes
everything else Fit into place. anyways, We also found another former
investigator that was in the area book. She is pretty cool, She has received an
answer, but just doesn't want to act on it. That's a big problem that i've seen
here In LA, people Believe all the time, but when it comes to acting there like
"but i have to work", "Its too hard", "I don't have to
act, God just loves us all like we are" , God is always with us" and
the list goes on. But in all reality, people just don't really understand our
purpose, nor the fact that there really is life after death. Even among all the
religions many people just don't believe that there is life after death,and if
they do, the don't understand the purpose of the After life. We always just
read Alma 34:32 "this life is a time for men to prepare to meet God"
so yeah, we shall see if she'll understand the relationship between Acting and
Faith.
I cant believe how fast time is
going. we just started our 6th week, and this is a 7 week transfer... so wow it
doesnt seem like its been that long. So yeah! Hope you all have a great week!
Ill be seeing some of you all on Sunday! It will be FUN! Love you all!
Keep me in your Prayers!
Love,
Elder Hollingshead
