Blessings of being Diligent and Obedient

Well the work here is going great. We have been really seeing miracles this week. There have been a lot of canceled appointments this week but I have been pushing to go tracking everyday. It’s been slow and no success really came from it but we planted a lot of seeds. Our members are wonderful. We have seen the blessings of being diligent and obedient. There were 4 non-members at Church on Sunday because of the effort of our ward. There is a good chance that we will be teaching all of them. How exciting is that. Missionary work from the members is so important. We will be introducing a new missionary program that we are going to try with our ward. We will get families in our ward to live the missionary life style for a week. We will kick it off by having a family home evening with these families at the church. They will have to live the missionary lifestyle. No TV. No Internet. Have to read your scriptures every day. It’s going to be great. At the end of that week we will have another family home evening and they will bare their testimonies and write their testimonies in a Missionary Book of Mormon and give it to one of their friends. Elder Cline did it in his last ward and said it was great so were going to try it here. I am really excited about it. Our investigators are solid!! Elizabeth continues to shock me as she continues to learn about the gospel. She is on fire. We are committing her to Live the Word of Wisdom tonight and the Law of Chastity. I am so excited for her. Justice has been grounded this week so we haven't met up with him but hopefully this week. We have a lot of appointments scheduled this week so it will be kind of chaotic! I love it. It is always wonderful to hear that we are answers to someone’s prayers. Heavenly Father is so kind to us. We were inspired to go and see Joyce Tabacco this week. She saw our faces through the window and said: "OH NO" We were an answer to her prayer. She is going to start taking the lessons with us again. I am really excited for her! She is ready and prepared to fully accept the gospel. I have a good feeling about it. The Lord is so kind to us. We had interviews with President this week and it was wonderful. I didn't get chastised! I am living as a diligent missionary. It’s really exciting to look back on all that I have accomplished through the Lords help. All the repenting I have done to change! I am grateful for his love and patience. I need to make sure that I continue to obey with exactness. Well this week should be amazing! We get to see Elder Bednar on Saturday. The talks that we have been studying for it are incredible! “Ask in Faith” “Seek Learning By Faith” If you have a chance read them. So amazing!!!
Sorry this email is so short but we have an appointment soon. I love you all. May the Lord continue to bless you all for your righteous desires. Continue doing those small and simple things!!!!
Love Elder Butler
