Jacob 4:7-8 "The Lord God Showeth us our weaknesses
that we may know it is by his Grace and his great condescension unto the
Children of Men that we have power to do these things 8. Behold great and
marvelous are the works of the Lord, how unsearchable are the depths of the
mysteries of him; and it is impossible that a man should find out all his ways.
And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him; wherefore,
brethren, despise not the Revelations of God"
This week I learned a lot about what it means to really rely
on the revelations of the Lord. Prayer is a powerful thing and there are a lot
of things that we do not know and will not know for a long time. But revelation
is such a wonderful thing and I loved this quote from James E. Faust, Communion
with the Holy Spirit, that says "If worthy, we are entitled to receive
revelation for ourselves, parents for their children, and members of the church
in their callings. But the right of Revelation for others does not extend
beyond our own stewardship" As a
missionary I am able to receive the revelation as to how best teach the people
I am teaching within the standards and principals of the gospel. I am entitled
to that as a missionary. The hard part is doing my part and asking for it. This
week I had to try really hard to pray for the revelation necessary to help the
missionary work progress further in this area. Through the Grace of God he
decided to show me a lot of my weaknesses instead and really let me know that I
can't do anything without him and his power. And after he let me see how really
bad of a teacher I really am then he helped us out a ton. We have three people
on date to get baptized this month and one of them is named Miguel. I am really
excited for him. He is the best friend of Talito who is a new convert that
drives everyone we are teaching to church every sunday (Thank you Talito!!!!)
This is Talito on the right and Miguel on the left. this is the night that
Miguel accepted a baptismal date!!
And update on Miyito who was baptized last week and recieved
the Gift of the Holy Ghost this week but he received a lot of support from the
ward and from one member in specific that I want to give a shout out to.
Hermano Toro went out of his way to buy Miyito new clothes to wear to church.
Miyito is a little slow and does not have the best living conditions and I have
never seen such love from a ward before. Miyito and Hermano Toro are amazing
friends now and when the scriptures talk about not having any poor among you I
am going to think about Hermano Toro now and how to went out of his way to go
visit this new member and make sure he felt like he was apart of the ward and
looks like it too.
We also found a Marcos Pizza in our city
