We got the opportunity
to watch conference live in English and enjoy every moment of it. We
were so pleased to be a part of this new lineup of spiritual strengths
in the church, and know that they were each called of God. How is it,
that men so powerful and influential, can be so incredibly humble?
Sonia,
the woman who we helped bring to the waters of baptism has been talking
to her daughter, and her daughter started to take the lessons from us.
We only taught one lesson, and the spirit whispered to us that instead
of start with the first lesson, which is the Restoration of the Gospel,
we should teach strictly on the principle of the fact that in her now
"years of choosing" her need for the gift of the holy ghost is ever so
important. She understood the concept perfectly, and plainly expressed
to us that she deeply needs that gift. She said that like her mom and
her brother, she wants to be baptized. She will be baptized on the 31st of October, along with the mom of Dahiana and Marcos, who were also baptized very recently.
I hope that we can each, use this gift, as President Eyring expressed, that God has granted to us on a daily basis.
Also,
sorry I am being a little scramble brained, I would like to re-extend a
challenge. It is "Ponderizing". I am going to do it my goal, is to read,
ponder, and memorize the meaning and feeling of 1 scripture every week.
This was a challenge from one of the seventies, and I feel that it is
something that we should do. I feel this could, little by little, change
each of our lives.
I really am short on time
this week,and have to admit, that I was not properly able to prepare my
thoughts of what I was going to write during the week, however, all
should know, that the experiences that I have keep pouring in. David A.
Bednar said that the 6 apostles that he knew, and saw pass away all had a
difficult and grueling course that made them become, who they became. I
am in awe at their, amazing dedication and love for the gospel and pray
daily that I can somehow have a small portion of that pure devotion, so
I can more effectively serve as God's servant. I remember, that I watched
a video of Thomas S. Monson when he became an apostle, and he bore his
testimony to the world and he said, "I dedicate my life to this work." I
remember thinking that was amazing, but that it made sense because he
was an apostle and wouldn't be relieved as such, until he died. However, I
realized more recently that this statement applies to more than just
the apostles. It applies to me and to you. I dedicate my life as well to this work. In fact, I did so when I had 8 years old and was baptized.
I love you all and hope you look for ways to share, and live this amazing gospel.
