Wow that is cool that Morgan is going to Russia who would have thought, i wonder where jacob is going to get called could be anywhere. So this week was actually pretty hot. It was in like the high 70s almost all week and then on saturday it rained and sunday was cold so i think from here on out its going to be cold until summer. But that is ok for me its easier to work in the cold than in the hot so i am excited the only problem is that in the winter it gets dark ealier and nobody is outside so it is harder to find people to teach but whatever every day has its challenges. And to answer your question, i think you are absolutely right about faith it needs and action. There is a section in preach my gospel about faith in chapter 6 and in one place it says faith is a power that we have to be able to make miracles happen. Also this tuesday in our district meeting we talked a lot about faith, hope, charity and love wich are all kind of interconnected and i found a scripture in Jacob 2:19 that talks about having hope in Jesus Christ that comes from faith and we will have the means to be able to help others. I dont know faith to me is a very big part of the gospel and for that reason Jesus taught that before anything we need to have faith that is why it is the first principle of the gospel, articles of faith 4. And with faith brings repentance and everything else in the gospel. So yeah it happens a lot in the mission where people say they beleive us but they never really do anything they are missing the action but the people that actually do the things that we ask them to do are the ones who progress because they are the ones who put their faith to the test they are the ones who had the desires to know and beleived that they would recieve an answer, 1 Nefi 11:1. So that is what i have to say about the faith hopefeully it helped a little. But you are right faith is more than beleiving it is acting on what you beleive. I love you mom and i will talk to you next week.
Love Elder Baer
