I
dont even know where to start! life has been absolutely insane and I
don't have much time to email! this week I have felt the hand of the
Lord more than at any given point of my life. He has directed every
move, he has guided every step, and he has inspired every decision. My
sweet sweet Sister Makowa made her journey back to Africa this week. It
has been a long and fruitful 7 months for her in the mission field and
she fought hard to the end. she flew out Friday afternoon and
I think a part of my heart flew out with her. I am so grateful for the
time I spent with her and the work that we were able to accomplish
together. she is remarkable and will forever be one of my dearest
friends.
Saturday,
we had a baptism. talk about stress. luckily we put it in the Lord's
hands and miracles poured down. peter is one of the most prepared people
EVER. he bore his testimony on the power of prayer and about God and
His work and I am certain there was not a dry eye in the room. he knows
these things are true and he will not deny the power of God. The spirit
was undeniable. I am so grateful for His faith and trust in the Lord and
His love. it was miraculous.
I
am now in a trio covering 2 wards (1 of which being ANOTHER YSA ward
#round3) and we are totally and completely BOOKED. always. we are SO
busy that its insane.
we
had a member bring a nonmember friend to church who has already read up
to enos in the book of Mormon, begins and ends his day with a
conference talk, already has a trip planned for October conference,
asked for sundays off from work because he felt it was right, and we are
teaching him this week. HE IS INCREDIBLE.
then
had another investigator bear his testimony in sacrament meeting on the
power of the Savior and the truthfulness of the book of Mormon! OK!
HELLO ROCKSTAR.
And
the lord is just plopping people in our laps to be taught. the members
here are remarkable and want to help us with anything and everything
that we need. the work here is hastening like I have never seen before.
we have an FHE tonight in which 3 members are bringing nonmember friends
to meet us. nothing short of miraculous.
I
am So blessed to be here at this time with these people in this part of
the vineyard. amidst all the turmoil, strife, and confusion, I have
never been so certain that God has a plan for all of His children.
Christ is at the center of that plan. He would never ever leave any of
us alone to wander and dwindle in unbelief. I leave you my simple but
earnest witness that Jesus really is the Christ. the Savior and Redeemer
of Mankind. God is our Loving father in heaven. He is here. he knows
us, he feels us, he cares about us. We are His work and His glory. We
are the center of His heart and He is here during the good and the bad
to lift our broken hearts, to carry our heavy burdens, and to remind us
of our infinite and eternal purposes here on earth. Of these things I
testify with every inch and cranny of my being. I know these things to
be true and I am humbled that I have been called and set apart to preach
them to all the end of the earth.
God is at the head.
keep it real and keep the faith
