The work hit a speed bump, but that's alright, hard work is what I asked for Right?
The thing that is making it hard is, we are not using the book of Mormon, because well... we don't have any,
That book is what makes or breaks every thing we say, and we haven't received any books for the last 6 weeks, ( that will be a story to share when I go home, I can say I served in a mission and we had to teach the message of the restored gospel without the aid of the book of Mormon) I never knew just how powerful that book is till, we lost use of it, They say they are trying to get us some, I think they have to come from Ghana and then Freetown before they come to us, I'm not to sure, So we will just wait and see what happens.
But "Every thing is done in the wisdom of him who knows all things" I think this is an opportunity to see, how lead by the spirit we as missionaries truly are, can we still teach the things God would have us teach? If we are truly following the spirit, it shouldn't slow us down to much, nothing can replace the witness one can get from reading that book and studying the truth they learn. It is difficult to ask some one to pray about something they have never seen,
But I know that god loves ALL of his children,
"And I Said unto him :I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless I do not know the meaning of all things."
1NEPHI 11:17
I don't know why it is so difficult to get Books right now, but I do know God will not hold back any of his children from the truth because of the lack of a paper-back book. Moroni said "It is by the holy ghost that ye may know the truth of all things" It is by the holy ghost that his children are brought to the truth,
I love the book of Mormon I know it is true, And I will rejoice the day we receive some, but until then, I will do my best trusting God because....
" ...I know the Lord givith no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them to accomplish the thing which he commanded them."
1NEPHI 3:7
And the Lord have commanded to Preach his gospel, till I can no longer walk.
