Dear Family,
I'm just loving it out here right now, it's really tough but I understand my purpose and the lord really blesses us so much every day here.
For example Tiffany whom we are teaching right now is receiving so much anti literature it's ridiculous. She asked us if other churches receive this much anti and we told her no. I seriously think she might find her answer just from all of the anti people that have been talking to her. This week has been tough for her. Her mom came over and got into an argument with Louis Rodriguez Tiffany's husband the less active member. She tried to tell Louis that he was brainwashing Tiffany and that made Louis really mad. In fact he was so mad that he called the cops so that they could handle. It just goes to show how hard Satan really doesn't want Tiffany to become a member because he knows she's going to be great. It's really tough to work with them but I know that they have been prepared there's no doubt in my mind. On Sunday morning we got a call from them saying that they wouldn't be able to come to church because their daughters were both sick. I thought to myself my eye your not coming to church. We went right over gave those two girls a blessing and brought the family to church and guess what they loved it. That's right loved it I mean seriously who wouldn't love it. Sometimes the gospel really gets my blood pumping. Everyday when I wake up Satan says oh shoot Elder Judd's awake.
Just yesterday we talked to Mikey Feleciano who has been coming to church for six months and we asked him why he has not been baptized and he told he doesn't feel his testimony is strong enough. We found out really that's not the case it is just that he has a few issues with the word of wisdom. On Tuesday we are going to address that concern and challenge Mikey for Baptism and he's going to accept I love it.
Thank you for your prayers I have really been blessed lately. And if I sound a little prideful I am. I feel as Alma did when he told his brothers that he dost boast in the lord and not his own strength. For I know I am nothing compared to the power of god, but with the power of god i am everything and powerful I love it.
love Elder Judd
