Transfers Came and I'm Still Here.

Hey everybody. How is the week going? I hope good. I can´t think of anything really new going on in Crevillente. We have a HUGE activity planned for the 10th of April. We are going to have an open house in the church with all the members there and all the missionaries in the district. We have this huge Book of Mormon and Bible we are going to set outside to attract people. Its going to be an all day thing. It should be big. On Sunday José Garro our deaf member spoke in church, which means I spoke in church. I helped him write his talk and while he signed it in sacrament meeting, I read it for him. It went really well. He spoke on temples and the blessings we see from them. We had an appointment with a less active member that was really interesting. We found out that he doesn´t come to church because he has a drinking problem and he is ashamed. We had a really good appointment, sharing scriptures and testifying of the atonement and how it can fix his life. We also made an addiction recovery plan but he needs to have the desire to put it into action. We committed him to come to church this Sunday though. I hope he can turn everything around. Our Stake President came to church on Sunday and gave a powerful talk. He spoke on how our ultimate goal is to live with our families and Heavenly Father in the highest level of Celestial glory. Then he asked us to ask ourselves what we were doing to achieve this goal. It was kind of a "wake up!" talk. He explained just going to church isn´t going to cut it. We need to make sacrifices. We need to work until it hurts. It was a really inspiring talk. I know its true too. I thought about how little this life is yet how big of an impact it has on our eternal future. I´m so thankful that God sent His Son to atone for the sins of the world and to overcome physical death. The atonement is such a blessing and we need to use it every single day. I love this work. I love you all too! Thanks for all you have done for me. You all mean the world to me. Have a great week!
Love, Elder Langston
