This week was great! Mission tour was awesome, Elder Pearson is the man and as Elder Holland would put it, he "singed our eyebrows a little". He spoke about how our mission is doing great but we could easily double the baptisms we just need to get out of our own way. He was telling us that we need to stop doubting and that this time is a very unique time in history for missionary work, and that the Lord waited for the right people on the earth to carry it out. But that we need to stop doubting and, "call down miracles". He was also telling us the importance of attitude, he did this example thing of how an elder with a good attitude and an elder with a bad attitude would view a crappy situation. If we stop saying me me me i i i and think about how we can help people not really caring about numbers, the mission will be more fun and effective. In general we need to stop being casual about missionary work.
At the very end though he said something awesome, he was like "Elders and Sisters, we've felt the spirit today and i want to tell you, your sins are forgiven. If you keep thinking about things you've done in the past, those thought aren't there to make you feel guilty, they're there to remind you not to do it again. You're forgiven" man it was awesome i got kinda choked up haha. He said so many things it would take me all day to write them down. But it was awesome hearing from a 70. We've been exchanging with other elders from this zone and working in there areas, i can say i've worked all around Suva and Nausori without actually being assigned there haha. We taught some really great lessons and contacted these awesome Rotumans, who were so nice and wanted us to come back. I go back to Tuvalu and Thursday, and i can't wait, man i miss my island, i'm a little nervous to go back because its been so long but man i can' wait. Love you guys and hope you're doing well. The church is true! Share it with someone!
Love,
Elder Cashen
