HELLO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!
How is everybody doing??

| Mikey in the van full of sister missionaries! |

| MLC with Elders DeGooyer and Roberts |
I had a great week this week full
of great experiences. Tuesday we
had MLC so Elder Hewlett and I took a van full of sisters all the way to Bentonville
and MLC was very good and a lot of fun. On the way home we got a call to stop at one of the hospitals
and give a blessing. The lady in
the hospital was not doing very well at all and when we walked into her room
they had just brought her food. She
couldn’t cut it or eat it though and she did not have anybody that was coming
to visit her. Being able to cut the
food and feed this elderly woman and then bless her with Elder Hewlett was an
experience I will never forget.
Compare my experience with this
elderly woman to how we must appear to our Heavenly Father. Sick in all of our sins, unable to
partake of the bread of life for ourselves. But as we ask in humility the Lord will always be by our
bedside to feed us and lead us to safety and peace. One of my favorite scriptures is from King Benjamin
"before God are not we all beggars?" I think about this scripture probably daily as I see the many
homeless people of Springfield and think about how to God we all appear that
way.
The refugees are doing okay, we did
not have as many come to church this week. Unfortunately, I think it will take
a miracle for them to really grasp the gospel and we are praying and doing
everything we can for that miracle.

I saw many miracles this week and
the Lord's hand in many ways, preparing many people, including working in the
hearts of the members to change them so that they reach out to their friends or
associates in faith.
Love you all,
Elder Green
