To be like a child

Dear, Family

 Well I don't really know what to say not to much has happened this week. Prince our investigator is going back to school earlier then we thought so that was upsetting but he will meet up with missionaries down in Brisbane. Then when he comes up for vacation he will be baptized with his family and friends. Scary thought because the adversary does work hard to stop people from coming closer to Jesus Christ. But we have tried to see a lot of our investigators it's hard because a lot are either really hard to meet up with or don't progress. I gave a Talk in church yesterday about the Purpose and Blessing of the Book of Mormon I felt so bad though I just lost track of time and I went over 8 minutes my talk was suppose to be a 12 minute talk. I felt bad because I caused brother Crane to give like a 10 min talk. But it was good had a member come up to me after and said you will be a bishop one day. Scared me!!! We have a mission tour soon and They usually don't fly the northern missionaries down for it they just do a Skype thing. But this year they have decided to fly all the missionaries from the North down for it.Yeah!!!!!! So happy. This morning for studies I was reading in Alma 46 and in verse 9 it say's "Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of men." I was just pondering this and it's so true the influence of Evil is everywhere it doesn't have to be person but just that influence has such a powerful effect up our soul, and It can cause our soul to become unclean and unworthy of the influence of the Holy Ghost. And if we let sin or mistake hold us back they can cause our destruction. But in and through the power of the Atonement we can come clean of these sins, transgressions, and mistakes. That are influenced by the Evil and wicked influence of the world. What we all need is to become more like Children! Submissive, Humble, Wise, and Full of Love, and Happy as children are. Listen to the talk "To Be Like A Child" by Brad Wilcox  It's funny and super powerful! And will help you to know what you can do to become more Christ like and how you can resist temptation that may influence you greatly. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.
