Yes it is Friday

So maybe some of you are wondering why I'm emailing on a Friday, or maybe you guys don't really notice things like that. But our p-day got moved from next Monday to today because we have a meeting with a general authority then. So after today I will have to go 10 days without a p-day. Wish me luck.

Since I just wrote an email a few days ago, there's not a lot to report. We did have a really good lesson with John yesterday, though. We taught him the plan of salvation, which is usually a lot of new information that people aren't familiar with, but John is super close to the spirit and had already learned almost everything we taught him. He told us he had always believed in a premortal life, that he agreed that the fall of Adam and Eve was a positive thing, and he knew there were three levels of heaven. He said he would tell people this and they'd call him crazy. He knows that the Lord has been preparing him for the gospel for a long time. He is praying about getting baptized on January 11th, so we will see if he has gotten an answer yet when we meet next Tuesday. Sometimes it is amazing how the Lord is planning ten moves ahead and he makes things work out for you. 
    
Spiritual Spiel:) 

This week I was studying Mosiah and it seems that verses from Mosiah keep being exactly what the people we talk to need. I think I have shared like five different verses from Mosiah 2, 3, and 4 this week. This one is one of my favorites from those chapters. 

Mosiah 4:11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.

There are some cool promises in there. They come from simply remembering God and Jesus Christ. Remember to remember Him this Christmas season.
