How are you! Hope all is well back at home! I apologize for not writing for a while things have been quite busy! You all are always in my prayers! However I don't have much time today, so I apologize for haste in this letter!
Things have been quite crazy to be honest and at times quite overwhelming! We actually just got transfer calls and I am in a village called Meltham now! This is my first time serving in a village it's quite a cool environment to be in! It feels like I've gone back in time 200 years! The ward I'm in is amazing! One of the biggest wards in the mission! They also like to say they are the "best" ward in the mission! I guess we will have to see about that! My companion is elder Hoather he's a good bloke! He is from Canada and has been out for 3 months longer then me! We have found some good people! Overall, I am exited to be here in Meltham! Like I said though things are crazy right now! I read a conference talk earlier this week that brought me a lot of comfort and strength! It was from Elder Neil L Anderson talking about his mission, "Nearly 40 years ago as I contemplated the challenge of a mission, I felt very inadequate and unprepared. I remember praying, “Heavenly Father, how can I serve a mission when I know so little?” I believed in the Church, but I felt my spiritual knowledge was very limited. As I prayed, the feeling came: “You don’t know everything, but you know enough!” That reassurance gave me the courage to take the next step into the mission field."
It helped me too realize that despite my imperfections and weaknesses I can trust the Lord has prepared me enough too handle the challenges that I face in my life! I am thankful for the Lord and the strength I receive from him! I know his Grace is sufficient for us all! I find comfort in The Lord’s words to the Prophet Joseph Smith! I know it is the very same promise He makes to us in our feelings of inadequacy: “Hold on … , fear not … , for God shall be with you forever and ever.”
Love you all, Elder Tuita
