FOCUS ON OTHERS
This week we had changes. Obviously I didn’t get changed nor
my comp Elder Stephens, but we added a new companion. We are in a trio. I’m so excited I’ve never worked in a trio before
so were going to see how it works out. Our new comp is named Elder Candia. He’s
from Peru
Also another miracle happened. I found a man in Melipilla named Jose Luis
who became an investigator but never got baptized for some personal problems
that he had. Now he’s getting baptized-- 9 months after I found him with Elder
Alfaro in the streets of Melipilla contacting. And I get to baptize him. So
Saturday, I’m going over to Melipilla to baptize him!! That is such a miracle!!
No effort is lost.
We have a lot to do here still
I was reading today in the General Conference
about ministering. That is to help Gods children feel and understand the love
he has for them. We are all tools in Gods hands and he needs us to minister to
his children. There are so many people who need help in the world, physically
and spiritually. And God uses us. What a blessing he trusts us. All we have to
do is pray for opportunities to minister and look for them. And God will put
people in our lives that need our help. And then we just need to help them feel
loved. I know Ministering to Gods children, our brothers and sisters, is such a
blessing. I think that is why sharing the Gospel strengthens us and helps us
progress so much. We are always trying to focus on others.
I love the Gospel. I know Christ lives, I know
He loves us. And if we look at all people like our own brothers and sisters we
will come to love them and we will be able to help them to feel God’s love. I
learned that this week. Now when I teach I try to imagine that I’m teaching
James or Ben or Amelia Sarah Jacob or even Mom or dad. And it helps me love the
people I teach.
I know this church is true, it is the restored
church of Christ Alma
Love
