The South Will aRise Again!!

Weekly questions from home for the elder. His response in his email back today.

Q1. How’s the weather in the ATL?..we just got 4 inches of snow today…70 degrees one day the next snow?! haha..

A1. 60-70 degrees down here in the South! Lovin' It!

Q2. What is your p-day routine like?

A2. The morning routine is still the same, exercise, studies, 

Then we clean, email, shop. Either we go on a 3-4 mile run, or 6 mile if we are ambitious with the office elders or we play basketball. Usually we have some time to study and prepare then we head back to the office at 6 to start the week.

Q3. Glad you were able to attend the temple. What a blessing. Is the temple in your mission area?

A3. Yes the temple is in our mission boundaries.

Q4. Who can we pray for and exercise our faith in-behalf of?

A4. Stake Leaders and Ward Leaders here in the Georgia Atlanta Mission.

Family,

Dad great to read your message again so inspired and absolutely true. Thank you for teaching and living the gospel in the home. So that if your children will exercise faith they will come to know with the same conviction of the truthfulness of the gospel. Thankfully Sister Harding gives me a copy of the ward news letter so I was able to read it yesterday as well.

Speaking of yesterday this was HUGE! For the first time Elder Parker our area 70 invited our mission council that consists of (AP's,ZL's & STL's) to the coordinating council meeting which consists of Stake Presidents and High Councilors over missionary work. In the meeting we aligned members and missionaries goals for baptisms and hastening the work of salvation. It was simply amazing, powerful! We are uniting here in the South and throughout the world to bring about the lords work! Elder Parker then joined our mission-wide conference call last night. 

April we will be visited by Elder Giddens and Elder Zwick, President and Sister Harding will then be instructed by Elder Holland at the mission president seminar in Florida. The brethren are getting out there and ensuring we are hastening the lords work! It's incredible to see and be apart of. The south will aRISE!!!!

We will attend the temple again this week with our mission leadership council and strategize how to climb the summits in April!

Grateful for your combined faith and love for the Lord. May we know that we are where we ought to be at this time in our lives. Look to the Lord in every thought doubt not fear not.  

Love, Elder Gautavai
