Kia Ora Whanau!!
What a great week. I love being a missionary.
In ward council on Sunday, our bishop told us about some
pretty amazing plans for Oamaru! If both wards get enough people attending
sacrament meeting, we can apply for a new chapel!! To give you some
perspective, it took Dunedin district 124 years to become a stake. Now, about a
month after we became a stake, our Bishop told us he wants and thinks we can
have the attendance for a new chapel by December! I honestly would love to stay
in Oamaru for the rest of my mission.
I was struggling to stay focused as I prayed so I asked
Elder Osburn for advice. He said that he imagines Heavenly Father in his
"celestial living room" and then it's just like talking to dad. As I
took the time to do that before I prayed, I had the words, "How was your
day, son?" come to mind and it was one of the most meaningful prayers I've
had in a long time.
We had another great lesson with R this week! She said
that she's praying about what we've been teaching and that she feels peace as
she prays. I'm so excited for her.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Benjamin
