Missionary work first.....


Elder Keir gets to stay! We are both way pumped about that. We thought for sure he was out of here. He'd been here for six months and we were having way too much fun. But I guess President trusts us cause we'll be together till the end of April now. It is going to be awesome. There aren't very many changes in our zone so it's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to be way more unified. That's what we worked on all last transfer, getting the missionaries excited and happy to be here and unified. They've all made huge progress and we really feel a lot closer to all of them than we did 6 weeks ago. We're really excited to stay out here together.
The Meridian ward is on fire. Bishop Holyoak has seen the importance of sharing the Gospel and he's put it first and is trying to help everyone else do the same. They're being so blessed for it too. We're teaching so many people in that ward and all the members are getting so excited. It rocks. Bishop teaches out of Preach My Gospel every Sunday, so people are starting to catch on to how important it is. We're trying our hardest to help our other two wards see the blessings. Putting missionary work first is the key. I haven't yet seen a ward that is happy, active, and functioning that's not sharing the Gospel. There is a direct coorelation. I hope and pray that everyone sees that and applies it in their lives.
Things are really going great. The only thing we could use right now is a massage. And more member referrals. When members invite their friends to be taught, it makes all the difference.
I hope everyone is having fun.
Love yall,-Elder Coffman
