United in a cause!

This week has been incredible! We have been working on unity now, more than ever! Which brings me to the topic of unity! Unity is so key to missionary work, the spirit of unity not only helps your companionship but your teaching. In Mosiah we read: “And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another” (Mosiah 18:21). This week we had a miracle that brought more strenght to our companionship! We have an investigator who when we saw last Sunday was struggling with Word of Wisdom but we reassured him that if he prayed, continued reading from the Book of Mormon, and attending church that he would be able to overcome this problem! We called him yesterday to see if he was going to be at church today and sadly found out that he had to work but that he was going to be there next week. As he was telling us this he expressed that he had been 7 days nicotene free! 7 days!! How excited we were for him! We put him on speaker phone and expressed our excitement for him and to continue reading from the Book of Mormon and to continue praying so that in due time he could be ready to be baptized on March 17! I know that this was not possible without the Lord. This experience helped Sister Tucker and I become more unified in our purpose and thus bringing the spirit of unity to our companionship. Our purpose as missionaries is to bring others unto Christ through the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and eventually take the necessary steps to enter the waters of baptism and as companions we must have the spirit of unity to work together and to help this purpose be fulfilled! May we all be united in a righteous cause!

"The miracle of unity is granted to us as we pray and work for it. Our hearts will be knit together in unity."- President Henry B. Eyring 
We at the end of this last Transfer were all united in one purpose
