Friends!!!
What a week we had this week. We baptized a boy named Toni and
that was a miracle in and of itself. He has been going to church forever but
had not had a response. We had a special fast for just him that he could receive
a confirmation that all this is true. And he did!! It was a miracle. But the
coolest thing that we did this week and something that I will never forget is
that we had the opportunity to listen to Elder Rasband speak to us and the
south mission. It was incredible, the spirit that I felt. Growing up in Utah I’ve
seen apostles and prophets on occasion but this time was incredibly different.
This man glowed… like his skin was like glowing in the dark. But really he had
a message prepared for us but told us that he felt a strong prompting not to
share his message and just answer questions. It was amazing. I didn’t get the
chance to ask him a question but I did learn something super important. God
never gives investigators no for an answer. He may give them not yet or a yes
but never no. If they say they received a no its not an answer its a doubt. Also
he said that to strengthen a testimony he recommends reading about the life of
Christ everyday. That is super cool too. I could go on and on about his talk
but I don’t have time haha next week I will share some more. I’m doing real
grand and super happy to be here.
Spiritual Thought –
I love the scripture in D&C 50:22 “Wherefore, he that
preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified
and rejoice together” When we share with investigators we learn as well as the
investigators. When we teach, if we aren’t learning neither are the investigators.
Both sides need to learn and profit from every visit. This can apply to regular
non-missionaries too. When we are teaching a lesson in church or giving a talk
put a new spin on things so that you can learn as well.
Love you all
Love
