Almost done with February

This week was pretty interesting. We found a sweet new family and we got to teach our other ones that we have.
We had a big meeting with all of the missionaries in our mission in the city with the President of the area. We all thought it was about the new mission, but it was just about a new plan that they have for the mission where we find a family or person for every investigator and teach them in their house. It's way hard. But it's a good idea. The meeting was from nine in the morning until about four in the afternoon. It was nuts.
This week we were going to get to go to the Temple, but our convert couldn't go! So we couldn't go with him. But we're going as a Zone on the sixth so I might not have e mail again until then.
But I'd like to say congrats to all my friends that got mission calls and left and all that good stuff. Congrats to my boy Anthony! Going to the D.R. that's pretty sweet! Love you man you'll kill it. Congrats to my BFF Kylie for getting her call too! And for learning Spanish! Yes. Love you guys all. I promise I'll write in my book so my emails are better. The Church is true!

Love you all.....

New Mish & Stuff

Hey Family!!!! How's everything going there in the greatest place in the World? Love you guys.

 

Monday - Monday we played some soccer in the area after email and everything. It was pretty fun.

Tuesday - Tuesday we had a lesson with an investigator and we committed him to be baptized! But not until March 16th! But that's still good. We also had a sweet lesson with our other investigator, it was like a lesson straight from the district videos, which aren't real if anyone was wondering. But it was probably one of the most spiritual lessons I've ever been in.

Wednesday - We helped a family paint their house! It was a long day. It literally took the whole day. But we did a good job.

Friday - We looking for some old investigators. It was a good day.

Saturday - Saturday we helped clean the Chapel. Then we visited a lot of the inactive members.

Sunday - Sunday was just the usual Sunday. We had a great lesson in the Night with a sweet new Family! So that's good for this next week.

 

In June, they are going to open a new mission in Guatemala and the South Mission will be split. 

Sorry this email is short! Love you all.

 

The Church is true!

New Stuff

This week I didn't make my list again so I'm freestyling this. We had cambios tuesday and President Stay threw down. He said he's sick of disobedience and that from now on Missionaries won't have interviews and we won't just call their Stake President, but he'll just call them and tell them to pack their bags because, they're going home. He already started sending them so that's sweet. But my Papa Elder Mejia got transferred! :( But he's a Zone leader now so that's good for him! My new comp is Elder Lara form Hondoraus. He only has this change and half of the next left in the mission so we'll probably get a third in 5 weeks. It'll be nuts. This week there really hasn't been that much to write about. I wont lie. But I just want to take the opportunity to bear my testimony. That I know the Church is true. That there is no doubt in my mind that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God. That Thomas S. Monson directs the Church of our Savior Jesus Christ here on the Earth today. That the Savior knows us each individually. That sometimes when you are in the worst times of your life, all you can do is beg to our Father for help. And he will always, always, answer you. That the Gospel truly changes lives. Completely. It doesn't take that long with some and with others years, but it will change your life. I want to testify that what President Monson said is true, there is nothing in the world that can bring more peace than a testimony of the truth. And I have a testimony of the truth.
Austin and Mike good luck as you leave this week. THe MTC is the best place ever and I'm way jealous of you two! Remember boys, the message we preach is true. Always be bold with it. In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Love Elder Nicholas David White

Montserrat Madness!

Fam!!!! What's up? I've heard good things about the week from all you guys. It was a pretty good week here in Mixco, Guatemala! I was all worried about being transferred all week, but I'm not leaving yet! Good news right? I was worried it would be like leaving my Home here in Guate. Like when I left the CCM. It's sad to see my Trainer leave! But maybe there are people that need my new companion and I and not him and I.

Something interesting happened with that this week. We contacted this family and then Elder Mejia said, that Family isn't for me. I know it's not. But they're for you. It was sweet. I hope they're for us. Because, when they're for us, they're for the Lord. 

Monday as a Zone we played soccer forever. All day. It was nuts. Everyone was dying Tuesday. Haha I actually didn't write in my book of emails this week so I don't have what we did to write day by day. But this week was pretty good. We found two new Families to teach! And two investigators came to church for the first time. It was pretty awesome.

One story I'd like to share happened to us when we found a inactive member and he started talking to us. He told us he didn't really have a testimony, but he was baptized and he had received both Priesthoods (the missionaries didn't do their job!!!), but he said the Book of Mormon is beautiful, but he didn't really have a testimony. He then said "I don't know, Elder White what testimony can you give me of the Book of Mormon?" It kind of threw me off a little bit. But I just bore my testimony and told him. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith translated it. That he was a Prophet of God and that the Church he reestablished is the true Church of Jesus Christ and of Heavenly Father. I then told him how I knew it. Often we bear testimony, but we should explain how we have that testimony to help others understand how they can have one too. I told him, I know this because, I have read the book, I have studied it for hours, I have truly and humbly knelt in prayer to our Father in Heaven and asked him if it is his words and if Joseph Smith was a Prophet. And he's answered me. That's how I know the Book of Mormon is true. If you don't, do it. I promise you will.

Like President Monson said, ¨There is nothing in this World that will bring you more happiness and peace than a testimony¨. I never fully had a true strong testimony of the Book of Mormon until I read it the start of last year and prayed about it. With humility and a desire to know. I love you all and I want to testify that so does our Father in Heaven. He knows us all and loves us. He lives. Our Savior Jesus Christ lives. In his sacred name, Amen.   

Love,

Elder White
