In the Business of Creating Eternal Families

I wonder if time is going faster all over the world or if it's just here. This week has flown by and so has my mission this far. The same thing is happening with my internet time today. I don't have much time, but I'll write a little something. Things have been a little bit slow recently, but we're doing what we can. We're still working with Dennis. On Saturday he told us that he working on setting a date as a goal for baptism. He says he'd like to serve a mission, so I'm especially excited about this. He's a good smart guy and when we explain true principles he really understands them. I look forward to sharing more good news about this soon.

I'll share one more quick story. Yesterday President Malonos, a councilor in the mission presidency, came to the Branch to make a calling. He came with he wife and 5 children. He's from Lviv and he was baptized before there was even a branch there. It was so awesome to see 3 of his little sons come in their shirts and ties and the youngest baby who just turned one, then of course the older daughter, probably about 10 years old. Both parents gave great talks. Their voices are gentle, calm, yet powerful. It is amazing to see families here living the gospel to the fullest. It was so refreshing to see them all come in the doors of our building (almost doubling our attendance). That's really why we're here, to help people create eternal families. I'm looking forward to creating my own, but helping others do it will have to suffice for now. Haha.

I know that this work is truly the Lord's work. I love being a part of it. God lives. He's my Heavenly Father and He loves me. He hears and answers my prayers. I'm looking forward to being reunited with him and giving him a hug. Thanks to all for the love and support.

Godspeed,
Elder Mahoney
