Bytheway...

Dear CA,
Last Sunday we went to a family ward and gave the talks in their sacrament meeting. One other companionship came with us and it was really fun. I miss going to a family ward! My topic was enduring to the end and it really helped me a lot! Isn't that funny how Heavenly Father gives us the topics that we need the most?! It's pretty awesome.
So we were listening to John Bytheway and he said something very interesting. In John 14:27 it says "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." He said that even though there is no "thou shalt" in front of it, but doesn't that sound like a commandment? Elder Jefferey R. Holland said that "this is the least known commandment and when we fear, we are showing God that we don't trust in Him and we are hurting His feelings." Isn't that so interesting?! I think that John Bytheway makes a lot of good point. One thing that he said is "God is all about freedom; Satan is all about addiction." Man, I think that is so cool! I love learning these kinds of things so that I can help people who have problems. We have an investigator from England, his name is Joe. I think I told you about him, he's the one who had that dream where God gave him the BOM. Well, Joe had a smoking and drinking problem and he has stopped drinking drinking, but he still uses an electric cigarette. His brothers make fun of him because he doesn't drink anymore, but he says that he thinks it's funny. I feel sorry for him though because it might get to him. But he knows about the Atonement and we will help him all the way!
Love you all!
