Familie!! Vrienden.. Kennissen.. buurmannen en vrouwen.. Hallo =)
I can't beleive that it's already close to the end of transfers.. next week we find out!! Not that i'm worried that i'm getting the boot already.. just crazy to think i'll be on transfer 10!! Craziness.. but it's good.. we had a miracle week this week.. We had a zone leader council once again this past week, and our mission president told us, that as zone leaders we need to be getting standards of excellance every week, as an example for the other missionaries.. You don't know what standard of excellance probably means, but in a nut shell it's numbers that if you reach, your doing really well, in fact excellant.. hence the title.; go figure right =P Well.. on my mission i have never hit standards of excellance in every categorie in one week.. not many have.. put things into perspective a little bit, and the past few weeks we haven't even been close either.. but this week, literally by the grace of god, we made it.. saw so many miracles.; we had people show up to church that we had no idea who they were, but were able to make appointments with them.. it was just great, and obviously a mission isn"t about the numbers, but the numbers represent people, and the people that we have representing our numbers are solid, and Elder Frahm and I are both really excited about the coming weeks.. Isaac, is super excited about his baptism.. he can't stop talking about his "miracle". in fact to his friends and family as well! He's already talked to many people and many people will support him and come to his baptism.. the potential is great.. and that's just the potential from this one man.. we have some other really amazing people that we have met and are teaching/ beginning to teach.. Jimmy I have no idea if i've talked about him yet, but we had a powerful lessen with him this past week.. such a spiritual lessen.. we really took the time, to plan out the restoration lessen, based on his needs and focused it on the scriptures, one of the best lessens i think i've had on my mission.. what a wonderful feeling to know, that you taught to someones needs, and it really touched them.. his biggest concern, was why isn't this message the story of joseph smith being told to people??!! people need to know about this! We did assure him that we were doing our best.. we have a lessen this coming wednesday, and we are, at least for now, planning on extending the invitation to be baptized.. but for him i'm really optimistic.. and of course, he has a family.. a wife and kids.. and if he comes the family will follow.. that's what were really being blessed with right now, is families.. we are teaching many, many families.. and we set a baptismal date with the head of a different family, his name is Kwame, he's also from ghana.. and he's committed to coming to church as well.. we'll see, these people have a long way to go, but there on the path, and it's really looking good.. I was laying in bed last night, after gathering all the numbers and what not from the zone (zoneleader responsiblity =P) and i was just thinking about all these people, and all the potential we have with these families.. little overwhelming!! I'm not used to having to keep so many people in my thoughts and trying to juggle them and plan for them.. this is easily the busiest time of my mission, and my last city i was pretty busy as well =) I guess i'll learn (be forced to learn) a lot of valuable skills, of planning and priortizing.. these next couple months will definitely be a time of much growth for me!! But.. it truly is amazing to see gods hand in the work, to see these people to teach these people that have been prepared by god.. it's humbling when I take a step back and think about it.. 20 years old, and this is what i get to see and expirience.. =)
Ward relations are going great, really have seen a lot of progress, and building friendship and trust in the ward.. i don't know what more to write about.. life is great.. still alive.. driving here hasn't killed me yet.. wow.. driving in utah will be nothing when i get back!! =) i'm going bowling.. after this, should be great.. okay, i think that's about all!!
Love you all; thanks for all your support and love,
-Elder Mohrman
