Hey Family!
Happy birthday mom! You are the best and I hope you got my
letter! Maybe by Mother's Day if you didn't.
Well this week has been filled with blessings and miracles.
Well this week has been great! We had a good week with a lot of miracles and
blessings. First we have contacted two references that we received from the
bishop and one of them has accepted to a fecha and the other is an
investigator/husband of a member for 8 years and has heard all of the lessons 2
times already but now he feels like he is ready to be baptized! He hasn't
attended church because of is work but he will be attending next Sunday and
feells like he has let too many opportunities pass him (blessings and hints
from the lord). He wants to change and be more united with his family who are
members. It's crazy how long it takes some people to realize what they are
missing out on until they finally have this wave hit them that makes them think
about what they are doing with their lives. Angels have really come to prepare
the hearts of these people to accept the message.
So as you can see this is only two of the blessings. Also
this week I have felt happier than ever about the work and the opportunity I
have to share this message and gospel with these people. This last week we have
seen that the members are trusting us a lot more, especially with the
references that we are recieving. They tell us that they haven't given this
reference to the other missionaries because they didn't feel comfortable to
give it to them, but they trust us and trust us with teaching this message to
their familly and friends. We have seen so many blessings especially in our
companionship and knowing when the spirit tesifies and teaches someone.
Sorry it's short today but I want to leave with a scripture
in Alma 26:27 "Now when our hearts
were depressed and we were about to turn back, behold the lord comforted us,
and said: go amongst thy brotheren the lamanites, and bear with patience thine
afflictions, and I will give unto you success." I know that in the mission
we have a lot of trails and difficulties, alot of people reject us everyday but
its a way for us to know who the lord has prepared. In alma 13:24 it says that
angels have come to prepare the hearts of the children of men to accept this
message. I know that there are people
prepared. I know that they are waiting because "they know not where to
look". We are the people to help them and to bring this happiness in their
lives.
