Dear president,

This week was very successful for me. Missionary training taught me so many valuable lessons to include in my life to become the fourth missionary. Mario is coming along very smoothly towards baptism and our relationship with him has grown immensely this past week. Hopefully after his baptism his father will soften his heart and open up to the gospel. Christina is doing wonderful we have watched the light of Christ enter fully into her life and can tell its given her strength to push through her pregnancy and family problems. Elder Anderson is the best and I could not have asked for a better trainer.  He does everything perfectly for my learning capability and is an amazing example of love and selflessness.  It's also his birthday today and he still serves others around him. He takes his calling as district leader above and beyond the requirements. I love my area and helping the people in it.  You can tell they are searching for light in there lives some of them just aren't ready to accept it.
Thanks for all you do.
 Sincerely, 

Elder Henrie

OK first off i suggest all of you read the Fourth Missionary by Todd Mcallister and apply it to your lives.  It's by far one of the greatest talk I've read.

 

This week went very well and very interesting.There's an hermana in our ward who asked if she could receive a blessing because she's had a lot of pain in her back lately so we went over there to give her a blessing and lesson on the priesthood after that her 28 year old son came in and listened and asked us for a blessing. We then continued teaching him about priesthood blessing and the priesthood. He asked us if we could give him a blessing and we asked him what he desired at that time. He then told us his whole life story about how he has tried to kill himself four times and it doesn't work.  He says hes seen evil spirits and it scares him he said he doesn't want to live here anymore cause he's seen the other side and it's wonderful but he's also seen the dark side and it scares him. He also went off about how he's mad at God for the trials and tribulations God has placed in his life. It was definitely a very very very spiritual talk and I ended up giving him a very powerful blessing.

We had an investigator come to church for the first time this Sunday and we haven't even taught him the lessons yet so that was really neat.  Mario is doing great!

 

I love you all -  don't let them praying knees get lazy and love like crazy
