This Blessed Assurance the Spirit Doth Bring

Hello Family,

It's so exciting to hear of the blessings that are coming to each of you as we truly put our trust in the lord and look to the Savior in everything we do and witnessing Him making good on His promise to direct our paths. What a comforting, reassuring feeling to know that we are lead by our Savior Jesus Christ who through a prophet has restored the authority to be able to access His power here on earth strengthening and enabling us to have everything good in this life.

This week has been another busy week with Zone Training meeting at the front end of the week as well as follow up with each companionship ensuring we are all clear of the vision, culture, and effectiveness of the mission. Over the last couple of months I have really grown to love PMG CHAPTER 8, "How to Use Time Wisely," and how to set goals and using key indicators to help us realize and bring to pass our purpose as mighty warriors here in the ATL mission. I have such a strong testimony of the key indicators and how they help us bring souls unto Christ. Without a vision the people perish. It is like this in life and in the gospel if we dont have goals (Destination, Route, etc.) we have no direction leading us to where we need to go. As Moroni, we continue each week to make preparations and to fortify spiritually in what we have and where we want to go.

Coming up on 8 months tomorrow (Feb. 20th). It's crazy to see the changes that I have experienced. As we were sitting in the lobby of a hospital a TV was playing in the background and my head started to hurt, I wasn't feeling well. The other missionary that was with me felt the same way and we both went to a little conference room where we could read and be away from the world. It's really crazy how we are literally set-apart to live at a higher level, and as we are exactly obedient putting full trust in the Lord He fills us with more of His power through the authority which we hold; then to be sensitive and alarmed through a simple thing such as a tv in the lobby has really given me a much greater appreciation for the power of the gift of the Holy Ghost.

I am doing well and am still not wasting away what precious time I have been given, doing the best work on the face of this planet. I continue to send my love to each and everyone of y'all and cant wait to hear from y'all next week.

Love Elder Gautavai
