The gospel blesses families!
It absolutely does! This week we
have been visiting families and helping them come closer to Christ.
Pete and his wife are saving their marriage! We have been visiting them for just under two
weeks and WOW his life has made a 180 turn.
He has sacrificed almost everything in his world outside of his family
to come back to church and to bring them with him. A sweet spirit has begun to rest in their
home. Pete has been the one of the
greatest examples of forgiving and of sincere repentance I have ever met. His oldest and his wife are progressing
towards baptism, and soon will join him as members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints!
Vicky asked us to start teaching her daughter as well. Her name is Janessa, and she accepted a date
for baptism by our second visit with her.
Follow the guidance of the Spirit, we knocked on the door of
a former, Loynelle. Missionaries had
suddenly lost contact with him about a month ago. He was home this time! He had been out of town for emergency medical
procedures and finally had returned home.
The last lesson the missionaries taught him was the word of wisdom, and
after a month of no missionary contact one of the first things he brought up
with us was that he had been cutting back on his tea intake. What more he still wants to be baptized! He wants to bring his sons into the church
with him! Blessings are everywhere!
Foua is studying the Book of Mormon and all of her children
have been looking forward to church week by week. They love the Spirit they feel there!
Tawn is Ching's last son not baptized. This week we taught him about the law of
tithing and keeping the Sabbath day holy.
On both instances he cut in about halfway through the visit and started
testifying of the blessings he has seen come from his mother's commitment to
living those commandments. He is excited
for his upcoming baptism!
The Merced Zone as a whole is doing amazingly! God is hastening His work!
