Spirit answered

Kinda like the current bush. Then we were in a lesson with a man named martin and he asked "why is it when we try to do better and be good people, it just seems to get more difficult and harder?" He asked the very question that I wondered! and then as the Spirit answered him through me, both of us learned the answer to the question. God knows that we can be more, He loves us and wants us to be stronger. We gain more strength as we climb over stumbling blocks. We need to be patient and keep moving forward. I love the quote in the story. "  If I let you go the way you want to go, you will never amount to anything." God loves me, He put me through these things and still asks me to be patient so that one day I'll look back and say " Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for cutting me down, for loving me enough to hurt me." I love this Gospel and I love you mom. We just contacted this 9 year old girl and I asked her who God was for her. she said "Her King, and Father" I was prompted to say "well.....if He is a King, and you are his daughter then that makes you a princess!!" I don't think she had ever really thought of that before. I love this work, and I love the Spirit. The Holy Ghost takes care of Allllll the weaknesses in lessons, and then helps me grow. I love you mom, thanks for everything!

P.S. super excited to talk!!

work like it’s up to you!

hey. yeah so...... The area is doing good! There were just 3 baptisms this last saturday and so we are working to make sure this area doesn't slow down just because of some baptisms! Elder H is doing good, We are getting some good Language studies in. One of our goals this transfer is to never let the apartment get dirty! I know this is Christs only true church on earth. Although many religions are good, they are not fully true. I know that through experiences, and struggles I've been able to come closer to my Savior, and I know there are even more struggles and experiences to go! This week, after the baptism, the father of the family called us before a lesson and said "can i ask you two a question" I had no idea what he would ask and hoped that He wasn't upset. when we got there he asked If we could give a blessing to his 3 year old daughter. It's amazing to see the great faith already applied in someones life even one day after Baptism. my mission pres sent a little quote that was awesome "work like it's up to you" Thanks for everything! stay cold in utah chumps.

Love Elder Seffker

I love this family so much.

Hey Mom I'm gonna try to call you today, this computer works good, if I don't get a hold of you, I'll try next week! anyway that email about jacob 5 is super cool! So You're all moving march? 3 weeks? good luck! I hope Rachel and Grandma had fun birthdays! We got transfer calls this week and I'm staying in the same area, with the same companion! it was pretty funny, Elder H was so scared to end up with this other Elder in our zone, haha, luckily we're staying together, today we're doing alot of deep cleaning of the apartment, and we'll do our best to keep it as clean as possible throughout the transfer. There is a wonderful family that is getting baptized this saturday, and I love this Family so much. They're so much fun haha. i think i may have already told you about them, but they remind me alot of us as a family too! well I love you Mom thanks for everything! I love you!
