Stick out a Hand to Help
this week went by mega fast. we lost march madness to a team that just wiped the floor with us. we were the top dogs and now there is just no way we can win the dinner with our mission president anymore. now its time to just keep doing regular missionary work haha. we are finding alot of people here but it is tough, they say they are catholic so we say sweet lets talk about jesus but they say no they are to busy then when we walk away they just stand there and keep smoking haha. i just laugh it off and we keep going. thats really all we can do. its not like we can force them to go to church or to listen to us, that is the wrong way to do things. we cant make them feel the spirit or make them stop doing bad things either, all we can do as missionaries and as church members is stick out a hand to help them. if they reach for your hand and grab it wanting to be helped then they have made the first right choice to eternal happiness. the crazy thing is that they dont even know what they are doing and how big of a choice it is when they slam the door in our face. we just have to find the people that will let us in and tell them the truth of christ is back! yeah thats all we can do, thats what jesus himself did was preach the truth. keep on keeping on all of you cuz i will too! love elder hayden summers

I was thinking about Hayden a lot on Friday when I listened to a talk about Missionaries. It brought to mind D&C 35:13. "I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit". I can't think of a better way to look at missionaries. Those boys who don't know much yet, who are despised as teenagers by the world, but who are picked as God's first string army to change the world. Tell him we are praying for him often.
