Week 21

Wow I cannot for the life of me remember last week at all, and oh I did not get any kind of head injury if that's what your thinking! But there two experiences I would love to share.

1- Elder Howe. So Elder Howe got hit by a car 2 weeks ago, he was riding his bike down a road and a Tahoe hit him going 55 mph, he was in a coma for a week, with major brain bleeds/swelling, he woke up last Sunday (Dec 4), and everyday he has made improvements towards health and memory. Well the other day (Thursday) we got to go see him with his mom and dad. So we visited for about an hour and wow, what an experience. This kid was looking way too good for going through what he had. He was talking, moving and he remembered Elder Ralph right on the spot, who he had not seen for about a year, and the only thing Elder Howe wanted to do was find his shoes and go to work, and to go serve the Lord. I kid you not, he did not have a skull in his head at this time because of the swelling, and he WANTED TO GO TRACKING. WOW! It blows my mind to think that he got hit by a truck that size and not even 2 weeks later he wanted to go out and knock doors. No one likes knocking doors, mind you, but it just shows how the Lord will bless you when you do his work. That and, if he was not a missionary he would be dead right now, that's a fact! So I can testify to you that the Lord does bless you! And even more so as his missionaries! 

2- We had family home evening last night at the Marchen's, where we talked about the light of Christ and how it shines through us to others. And how the lightness will always shine out the darkness no matter how dark of hole or how deep.( dankness is sin) so let those around you shine, and shine with them because, we are the light of the world, just like Christ is. 

Anyway love you all wish you the very best! And please let the light of Christ shine through or on you!

Love Elder Gordon
