SERVING IN THE MICRONESIA GUAM MISSION "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." -Helaman 5:12

good personal study to share

Hey Mom!

How are you?  I am good! We had a good week.  Connie, one of our investigators bore her testimony at church yesterday and it was really good.  We also got a new Bishop. His name is Bishop Dana and he used to be the ward mission leader.

The work is going good and we could possibly have some Baptisms this month, we are just waiting for a miracle!  You could say I am doing okay, hanging in there, and loving it all at the same time!

I had a really good personal study today! I was reading in the book of Act's and I got to chapter 19. If you go to verses 14-16(I think) it talks about authority and I thought about that and I remember teaching this one guy in Yigo who claimed his baptism was valid because it was in the name of Jesus Christ . So then I thought of the baptismal prayer where it says "having been commissioned of Jesus Christ". I looked up commissioned and it says "a person entrusted with Authority". So the authority is so important that it is stated right in the baptismal prayer. In the book of Mormon it also says "having authority "(mosiah 18 and 3 Nephi 11). I found it pretty interesting and powerful.

I am doing good, I will try to send some pictures next week.  I love you,

Love Elder Kearl
