I am happy to hear how things are going. I can see that there are many trials and challenges but that is just how we come to feel happiness and joy. It is after the greatest grief and pain that comes the greatest joy and happiness. As for myself now I am beginning to enjoy my difficulties.
One day everything was falling through and we weren´t having success. As the last hours of the day approached and we headed to our last appointment we met someone that truly had the desire to change and hear of the gospel. In the last appointment we met a family that is interested and willing to hear. The miracles truly come after the trial of our faith, and it is exactly this reason that I want to face more trials.
I wish that every day could have such trials so that we can see miracles every day, but the Lord understands better when our faith needs to be tried. When the time comes that we can glory in every affliction, we will see miracles without understanding and bounds. Miracles on an eternal scale. Obedience leads to blessings, faith to miracles, repentance to eternal life and glory. Life is set up to succed, to fulfill our purpose, not fail.
It isn´t important your past or how much you have to overcome, the Savior will lift you up and make you what you are meant to be ifyou will believe on Him. If you can just believe, anything is possible. He will save His people and conquer their enemies. They just have to come to Him.
I love all of you and pray for you. I hope everything goes well and you can face your opposition in happiness and joy.
I´m glad to hear that Brent is well accepted among the family. He is a great man. I am looking forward to meeting him in a little less than two years.
Time is really going fast here. Last week went by so fast. The Lord is truly in charge here. We can hardly take care of one person at a time much less a whole family and nation. I have seen miracles here and am learning a lot about the power of the Atoning Sacrifice of our Lord. There is nothing He can´t do when we have faith. There is a promise in this mission of weekly baptisms, if we have the faith and comply with the standards set in the mission. I am trying to reach that goal but it is difficult. Our zone is baptising a lot though. Already more than 12 baptisms this month. The work here is beginning to progress more. Well I love you and am grateful for what you have taught me and done for me. I pray for you and know that as I work with all my heart you are all okay. May everything continue to go well and the Lord bless you.
Your friend, son and brother,Elder David Skiles
