Happy New Year, everyone!
It's been a long week, but a good one! It has been hard to see investigators because of the holidays, but we have been able to have several great lessons this week. We had two (very) less actives come to church yesterday! One of them has a husband who is a non-member, so we should be able to go visit them soon.
Preparing for the new year, we have been reading the talk, "The Fourth Missionary," which is probably one of the best missionary talks of all time. I would encourage each of you (non-missionaries included!) to read the talk, because it teaches principles that we can apply to every phase of our lives, not just the shortest 1.5-2 years.
I think it is special that the first day of the year fell on Sunday this year. The Sabbath day also happens to be the first day of the week, and I have come to realize the significance of that fact. Each Sunday we have the chance to partake of the sacrament, renewing our covenants and commitment to follow the Savior. I hope everyone has goals for the new year. I have come to appreciate how setting goals can help us achieve our greatest potential. Just remember that it is not requisite that we run faster than we have strength, but if we humble ourselves before the Lord, he will make weak things become strong unto us.
