Member Missionaries

Thank you for the letter. How did you like conference last week? It was great right!? I am really grateful that God loves us so much that He has called men and women to guide us and direct us on the earth today. This life of mortality can be difficult at times. I know that those men that spoke to us are called of God and that they speak His Gospel and truth. God's kingdom is established on the earth. This Gospel is literally an extension of His kingdom. We had some really cool experiences watching conference last week. I'm really excited for the conference edition Ensign to come out. I love studying the words of the prophets! I also buy the CD set from the distribution center and listen to the talks. It's really awesome!
My companion and I are doing really well. We have a pretty good number of investigators that we are currently teaching. We feel really good about the progress of our investigators. In our area we have been working really well with our members. In fact, all of our investigators are taught in members' homes. We have created relationships where the fellowshipper is the main source of support for our investigators. It has been amazing! Our Members are AWESOME! They have been so supportive in our efforts. Really, it seems like we are just supporting our members in their missionary efforts! They basically set up the appointments and we just go to lessons and teach!
When you first become a missionary that relationship with members is the hardest thing to understand. Naturally, we just want to be friends with the members because they are so awesome! As representatives of Christ and full time missionaries we are here to strengthen the faith of the members and help them share the gospel. It is such an amazing thing to see members bring another one of God's children into the church. Anyways, there are so many wonderful people in this area. I am so grateful to serve here.
This church is so amazing. I really am so grateful to be a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints, God's kindom on this earth
I love you ALL
Love,
Elder Blandon
