This week was another hard week trying to work well in
both areas. Man the Erie district is struggling here. But we have great
missionaries here so we will figure it out.
This week I had strengthened my testimonies of the plan
of salvation and families. I know families can be together forever. It really
is part of Gods plan.
The past four weeks we had been trying to get in contact
with one of my favorite members. Usually every time we stop by he is there. We
had stopped by and called and called and stopped by and we hadn't been able to
see him for three weeks. I prayed and prayed and prayed we could find him
again. On Tuesday I called him, again, and left him a voicemail just saying
"I LOVE you! I LOVE YOU MAN!" The next day while we were eating lunch
we got a call. It was him! I answered it and he asked how we have been and told
us we could stop by. So we went over that day at three. Committed him to come
to church and read scriptures again. He didn't come to church sadly but it was
awesome because the Lord was defiantly working on him the whole time. There
were a lot of promptings in that situation that helped us get back in contact
with him. He will start coming back to church. He's done it before. He has a
great testimony and loves coming to church and reading the scriptures but he
just gets tired and doesn't want to wake up sometimes. We just got to keep
loving:) Oh this is a cool story. We were out trying some people. We were near
a members home whom we have tried to meet before, multiple times actually, but
I felt like we should go try them again. So we drove over there and knocked on
the door, and I told Elder Payne to move so that they couldn't see us;) haha. I
just knew they were going to answer this time. There was nothing different
about the house, no lights, no car, nothing, but I knew they would answer. And
they did.
She came out and we talked to her for a bit. She was
super nice. It was cool. There's so many times that these type of things
happen. On a daily basis too. But this one stuck out to me. Follow
promptings!!!
That's something we received counsel about from Elder
Stevenson. He told us to listen and follow promptings:). I still am amazed at
that Apostle visit.
This church is the church of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's
lives and He stands at the head of this church. He is does indeed reign as the
King of kings and Lord of lords. He is our Savior, Redeemer, and advocate with
the Father. He loves you. Joseph Smith was the chosen vessel to restore
Christ's original Kingdom on the earth in this dispensation.
The Book of Mormon is the tangible proof of the
Restoration of the Gospel. It is another testimony of Christ. It is true. It
has changed, does change, and will continue to change me for the better. I know
who Christ is and who He wants me to be through it. In the name of Jesus
Christ, amen.
I love you guys and miss you!
