A Fire In His Eyes/ I Stand All Amazed/Ammon

Dearest Family and Friends!! Yet another exciting week in Paradise we can recap together!

I am truly blessed. I may not have the strongest testimony in the world but it is something I have personally gained! I gained it through the Love of The Holy Ghost which comes from A Loving Father in Heaven who helps us through His Son's Perfect Atonement. What an amazing truth. I know They Live without a shadow of a doubt. I would die for this great knowledge! For it is true!

"I Stand All Amazed at The Love Jesus Offers Me. Confused at The grace that so fully he profers me. I tremble to know that for me he was crucified. That for me a sinner he bled and died. Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me!" Beautiful words of a beloved hymn. I testify Jesus did in fact die for us. He then conquered death through His Resurrection and extends his mercy to us always. He Lives! I truly, Stand All Amazed.

God does hear our Prayers. Press Forward. You can do all things through Him! I Love You All More than you know. Keep being awesome. Thank you so much for your wonderful updates and emails, which help me so much!

Hey! Don't forget I love you all! :) I am your biggest fan!

A miracle I would like to share!! A tender mercy from A Loving Father In Heaven. We have found an investigator named Sam. Through a feeling that my companion had while walking on the road. He looked as if he would never listen to us. The smell of weed and the large Kyle Beckerman Dreds made it a little strange when Elder Hable said he felt like we should talk to him. We did it! And it has been a miracle. We meet with him for a little bit and left him with a Restoration Pamphlet. When we returned he did something I had never ever seen in Vanuatu before. He read the pamphlet, and then wrote answers to questions that test your understanding at the end. Elder Hable exchanged glances of amazement and absolute awe. We had the most powerful lesson. It was lead by his questions, he shared his thoughts, and the spirit filled our hearts. I wish you all could have been there. The Lord has prepared many to hear Our Word. It is up to us to go find them.

Sam is currently been avoiding us after this amazing experience. It hurts my heart. I wish he would remember what we learned together. I hate the evil substances, which lure him away from the out stretched arms of His Savior. Who is all of ours personal Savior, even Jesus Christ! I feel as if there are many arms of the adversary and temptation, which try and grab him. However, Elder Hable and I won't give up on him. Yes, there are many evil arms or influences, which wish to grab him. But like the great missionary Ammon, Elder Hable and I will cut the arms off of our enemies for the protection of our brothers. I won't give up on Sam. I ask, if you have a small moment pray for him. I love him. I have felt just a small portion of The love God The Father has for him. He is our brother. Oh, how I wish he would have another lesson with us.

My strugges with Sam remind me of some scriptures. The first being: Alma 26: 30 "And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some." Our struggles are sometimes hard as members of the church, especially when we try and share the Gospel. Don't give up! We can do this. Share the Gospel with all you can. You have more power and influence than you know. Share it! Get passionate!

I know now what Alma meant in Chapter 29 of Alma stating, "O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!

Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.

But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my wish; for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me

My dear friends and family. Do all you can to share this great Gospel. It is true!

This is the last week we get with President and Sister Granger. My heart is full of gratitude for The Lord for what time I had with the Grangers. They are amazing. I don't know if they will ever know just how much I Love Them. They truly taught me the importance of 3 Nephi 18: 31-32. The importance of the individual. They personally brought me closer to The Master. I had the opportunity to do one last special assignment for President Granger with Elder Hable. We drove to Paonangisu and checked on some Missionary Homes. We took a few moments to view the amazing scenery around us. It gave me an opportunity to use my manual driving ability which I learned here in the field! It is incredible all I am learning. Paoanangisu is about an hour drive on the other side of the island of Efate!

I had the opportunity to meet Président Duquette and Sister Duquette. They are FANTASTIC! I love them already! They have expressed that they love The Lord and excited to do all they can to serve in this great calling of Mission President and wife. There is a fire in Président Duquette's eyes. He is ready and I am willing to help him with anything as his Assistant and a missionary entrusted in his care by The Lord. He reminds me of Dad... Partially because he is bald and he gave me a couple of winks... Which if you know my wonderful Father is some of my favorite attributes about him. One of the first things Président Duquette said to me went something like this, "Elder LaMont!! How are you?! Wow! You two are sharp looking Elders. Are you the one who loves jerseys?" So... I guess he is aware of my love of Soccer already.... And my love for soccer jerseys.... I am going to ask him if he is an Impact Fan, Dad because he is from Montréal, Canada !

I express my Love and gratitude again. Thank you for all you do.

Love,

Elder LaMont, Your Alekken Ty, Shark Bait, The white loving Soccer boy From Smithfield UTAH, Island Boy
