So this week was pretty cool. Last Sunday night, we realized that we didn't really have many progressing investigators/our teaching pool wasn't looking too good. This last week we were blessed to find/be referred to 6 people (2 couples, and 2 individuals) that we will teach this week. One of the individuals is from Papua New Guinea and speaks English, so we will hopefully be teaching a lesson in English this week... Turns out his mom works for Unicef and actually visited the island I was on in October for the global hand-washing day and I saw her give a speech. Pretty cool connection

John 3 :16 helps us learn three things about God  1. God loves us, shown through the sacrifice of his Son  (He loves us because He is our Father) 2. God has a Son (in the spirit and the body, who is Jesus Christ)  3. God's work is to help us, not hurt us (or to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man).
I had an interview with my mission president this last week and he made the comment that God is an optimist. He also explained that God isn't just waiting to point out our mistakes and penalize us for them. The true nature of God is that He is someone who wants us to succeed, and will help us as many times as we will let him.

Jacob 4: 10:  Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works.
