I figure the meat of what I want to say is in my letter to President Gustafson, so here it is:
Kaicho,
The first things that I am to report to you on are: my responsibilities to represent the Lord in our area, and to obtain His direction in carrying out my assignments and blessing the people here.
We had an open house this week. Ten non-members came! Thank goodness for good members, and a great bishop. It really was a great success because of their hard work and love of the Lord and the work.
On another topic, Elder Lee put in a talk from Elder Holland in the MTC during lunch a few days ago and it got me started thinking about how we (as a companionship) need the Spirit to be with us. It is a great talk, and the night after we listened to it we had a lesson in which to apply the things we had learned. I felt the spirit guide us in that lesson, and was grateful to see Gods hand in our work. What great blessings! I hope I can be better at representing the Lord by teaching through the Spirit.
I also gave a talk in sacrament meeting and took that as evidence that the ward has some trust in us, I am so grateful to be serving in Japan! I love to work with these people.
The next things to report are the status of the work and my personal progress.
The work is going. Not a ton of new investigators this last week but we plan on fixing that. Also we are working with some really great investigators right now and I have some great hopes for them.
I am trying , as always to work hard, and to be the kind of servant that Jesus Christ would have me to be. It is hard for me to see my progression all the time, but I do feel like I am progressing and I feel that the Lord is pleased with the way things are improving.
I love to serve here! I want so deeply to return with honor, knowing that I have served the way that I should have, having given all that I have.
Thank you for all that you do, thank you!
We love you!
Working hard and keeping the rules,
Elder Bevan
In addition to that, I don`t know what to say. I know the Savior lives and He loves us. I know this church is His church. I know the Book of Mormon is true by the power of the Holy ghost. I love that book. I love the companionship of the Spirit. I am grateful for prayer. I know through prayer we can communicate with God, our Father in heaven.
Love to all,
I think you are a boss Bryan!
Happy Birthday Jerry!
