Well well well,
It sure has been a long and tough week and the lord really is trying my patience in some many different areas. It all reminds me of a quote I was reading yesterday that said, " They never said it would be easy, but they did say it would be worth it." I'm trying harder each day to remember this because sometimes it's tough. We taught so many people this week and had nine lessons with a member present, with zero investigators at church so you might see why I might be a little frustrated.
But this means that I can work harder to love these people and help them understand the blessings of coming to church. So a lot falls on us and how we are going to improve our teaching and charity to help our investigators progress. We've made improvement and I'm very excited our teaching pool is so big, but we have a long ways to go and need to find more of the elect.
Yesterday at church we finally, half way through the year introduced the ward mission plan. It went very well and I'm super excited to see the members get more excited about the work here in St.Cloud. My companion and myself were able to present the family mission plan to help the members on a more personal level to help accomplish the ward mission plan.
Love Elder Judd
