Wow! I have been out on my mission for a month!

Wow. This month has passed by faster than any time frame in my entire life. But I feel like I have also accomplished almost more than any time period in my entire life as well. And I know this is because of the blessings of the Lord and his spirit. I have come to realize the divine relationship I have with the Holy Spirit. He is one of my best friends and I have realized how much I have relied on him as such my entire life. Often we take our friends for granted and we forget that they are there for us so I have made an effort to realize his help, his comfort, his companionship, and the strength he gives me. I am trying to communicate with him the best I possibly can. I think that sometimes it's easy to forget that he is a member of the godhead. He was given and accepted the calling to be without a body so that he can guide us and support us. I am forever grateful.
The scripture of note this week is from Doctrine and Covenants. Section 88, verse 63.
"Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you."
Simple and direct. If we want to know the truths of The Book of Mormon. Of the church. Of the gospel. If we need help understanding or comfort the Lord wants nothing more than to give us our answers and help us. But he won't do that unless he know how much you truly desire to know. When we go to him in prayer, when we take the effort and time to search in the scriptures the Lord knows we're not just looking for the easy way out. As we draw near to him, he will draw near to us and reach the rest of the way that we cannot.
Our investigators have jumped from 1 to 5 this week! It has been crazy, yet so incredible.
Seeing the spirit of the Lord touch the hearts of these people is an amazing experience and has taught me what is most important.
The MTC truly is the Lord's university. He will teach you what you want to learn. This is true in life as well.
I love you all! Pray to our Father. He wants to hear from you. :)
