Shark Bait Gets Back In the Game/ A Vist From Elder Haleck

My Dear Family and Friends! How are you?? I hope life is continuing to treat you well and you are seeing the blessings Our Father in Heaven has in store for all of us. I am sorry I have not emailed in a while but I am getting back in the game! So here is one! :) For those of you have emailed me personally,  I am sorry I haven't gotten to you. Thank you for reaching out to me. It means the world. 

I am sure most of you have heard of or are experiencing the blessings of missionaries being able to have more communication with their families. Isn't it so cool how much revelation is being given to our Prophet?? Because I continue to work in the Office District we have been able to have access to computers and talk with our families. 

It feels as if the Lord has hand wrapped a beautiful present and given it to me! Talking to my family has personally blessed me in so many different ways. Keaton and I have exchanged missionary experiences, I have gotten to see my beautiful sisters, and have loved hearing wonderful council from my Parents. You certainly count all the blessings in my life because there are so many! 

We are teaching some amazing people right now and the work is continue to progress. I am excited about how the Gospel continues to bless their lives. I was reading the scriptures this week and found a powerful scripture in Psalms 19:7. This verse I feel testifies how the scriptures are perfect at converting the soul. It states how the scriptures will help the simple to become wise. Need guidance? Need to feel love? Want to know more about A Loving Father in Heaven? Go to the scriptures! I testify that the Book of Mormon truly is the word of God and as far as the Bible is translated correctly it too is the word of God. They have been such a blessing in my life and in my mission. I need them every day and I know you need them too. I implore you with all of my heart to open them and to feel the Love of The Lord which radiates from them. You will hear His voice. 

One young lady we are teaching is named Aisha. She is 19 years old and super fantastic. We have worked very hard to try and teach her family who are not interested and never accepted an invitation to come to church. Yet, Aisha has been coming  to church for almost two months straight. Her love of the Gospel is growing. She shared an experience  of the most wonderful feeling of happiness which came from her prayers to know if the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. I know the Spirit touched her heart and she wants to be baptized.  We are hoping we can continue to help surround her with friends  in the ward so she may be anchored and protected. 

Still working with  a couple named Max and Evelyn. They have progressed  so well and have loved coming to church. We have started to teach them with all of their children. I have loved teaching them as a family. Family is like a Heaven on Earth and I want their Family to be for Eternity. So, we are working on getting Max divorced from a woman who ran away from him a long time ago so he can be married with Evelyn. It's never easy but it is certainly worth every effort. 

Elder Haleck (Of the 70) and Sister Haleck came and visited our Mission this week. There is so much to say about his visit. The one thing which I would say left the biggest impression on me is how important  it is to have the help of the members in the ward and to teach the way the Savior always teachs us with great love and patience.  

I love you and am so grateful for you. Thank you for believing in me and supporting me. I feel your prayers and send many your way. I Know Heaven is cheering you on. 

Love, 

Elder LaMont/ Shark Bait/ Island Boy/ Your Alekken Ty
