Prophets Are So Important.....



hey momma!
i am so happy here, my comp is awesome and a really funny elder, he is pushing me really hard with teaching and with the language and such, he is encouraging me to change my subject of my contacting every week or so, so by the end of the transfer i will be able to teach a variety of different subjects, and im so excited that i am growing! and yeah i have lost about 30 pounds so far and they keep coming off haha, so eventually i will have to start buying new clothes that will fit me, which i am excited about but i still dont want to spend money while i am here, so the only thing i am scared of is just spending money. so for some good experiences that we had this week: first, we taught a few more lessons to thomas, and he is very smart, but is getting worried about a few things, specifically the word of wisdom, and he is having difficulty reading the book of mormon because it is a little bit to complicated for him to understand, and sometimes he takes things a little bit too literally. so my companion and i, for the word of wisdom question, directed him to lds.org, and asked him to look up some talks from our prophets about the word of wisdom and how it is interpreted in our day, for our day. it made me feel so grateful to have a prophet on earth today, and that when questions come up an any point of doctrine, we can seek and find an answer or an interpretation that will always answer our question, prophets are so important, they are the men that bring us the words of god, nothing has happened on this earth spiritually without a prophet, and im so glad that i came to realize that during our lesson with thomas. he is such an amazing man, and he is keeping his commitments, it is so amazing to finally be able to see an example here in poland, of the lord changing someones life. second, we taught another one of our investigators, named sylvek, who is progressing very well, and we taught him about the keeping the sabbath day holy and fasting. i led the section on keeping the sabbath day holy, it went so well, i love being able to explain things to people, and i love being able to see the look in their eyes when it clicks for them and they understand, it just brings pure joy into my heart whenever i see it happen, and its only been a few times but i know that it will happen more often the longer i am here. i am so happy to be here right now, i am growing and learning, and by the hand of the lord in my life, i am being changed into the man that he needs me to be, and i know that change can only happen here, and i am so grateful for it. l
love, elder summers
 im glad that life is working out well for you, you are happy, visiting family, living life, and everthing is working out perfectly, which is such a blessing, because every day i talk to people who don't have that great blessing in their lives, its sad to see, and then they sadly choose to not listen to something that may not be able to bring wealth and prosperity into their lives, but it will bring peace, knowing that you are okay, there is a plan for them, and god has not forgotten them.
