"...because thou hast not murmured...I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them...and it came to pass that when my father heard these words he was exceedingly glad..."
I Nephi 3:6-8

Is There Time Enough? Have We Done All We Could?

When I first came here, I had no idea how hard it was going to be to get ready to leave.  Yup!  It is starting to hit me as I go see my new friends and family now.  We just spent a couple of pleasant hours with our branch president and his family who invited us to "tea".  We have grown to love them and so many others here.  We have never felt alone since we arrived.  The president and his sweetheart was in our living room the very first night and we have bonded with them and many others.

We have learned so much but the time flies faster and faster as the time to leave grows closer and we feel an urgency to do everything we can to leave this place better than when we came.  We hope we have done that.  Due to our presence helping the Lord, 12 new members exist in the area and have a different outlook on what is important in life.  We hope the "old" members have some different points of view because we came.

There is no way to assure that you have left a legacy so to speak but you do your best and hope that something you have done has touched a few.  We are still teaching a couple and when we leave their house each time our first question is, "Is there enough time!"  We hope there is but if not, we hope that others will take up our quest to give them heaven.

Only two months left.  So little time and so much still to do.  Will it be enough?  We can only do our best and hope the angels we are trying to call down remain to finish the work.
