Okay . . . we admit it--some Sabbath days aren't so good. This week the branch president went to Thailand for 3 months and the relief society president went to Dubai for a month. We really miss them, because now we (the missionaries) are basically in charge of a group of people we can't communicate with and who aren't very committed. Things can get kinda crazy, and if it weren't for the help of the Lord, we're sure everything would fall apart completely.
We never know who will show up at church and do their assignment or calling, even though they say they will. We could easily get an ulcer wondering if the speakers, teachers and members will be there and what we will do if they aren't.
After many prayers we feel that the solution to these problems is to teach, teach, teach the Book of Mormon and encourage everyone to read it. Once someone reads the Book of Mormon they will learn that the Lord loves them. When they know the Lord loves them they will love Him and want to serve him and then they will want to serve others. The Book of Mormon will help them truly be converted and then nothing will ever keep them away. They will have the "heart" to face opposition, and to do what's right. They will be a happy people.
