6 months down and a year to go! Time flies when you are
doing the work of the Lord :) I am just going to give a little shout out to one
of the recent converts named Talito :) Talito is such an amazing person. He
does not have much in the way of the world but he has everything when it comes
to God. I can imagine our Heavenly Father looking down at him and just being so
proud of the person that he is. He shared a beautiful miracle that he has seen
in his life. He suffers from a lot of
health issues and his body is old but his spirit is strong. Ever Sunday he
drives 2 investigators and 2 recent converts to church and wakes up at 6 am to
go and gather everyone. He has only been a member himself for 3 months but he
does everything in his power to help others on Sunday mornings. During one of
our lessons we were talking about tender mercies. He quietly talked about one
of the tender mercies that he has seen. Every morning it is really hard for him
to get out of bed. Not just because he is tired but because physically it is
demanding. He then went on to account the goodness of God on the sabbath
mornings. He spoke of the miracle that he receives every Sunday morning when he
wakes up. He wakes up with out any pain and without any trouble every Sunday
morning. He said that he knows if he keeps sacrificing his time, car, life to
helping others to get to church then he will continue to have this tender mercy
every morning. He is an amazing example of living the gospel and putting Christ
first over our own personal comfort. But the one thing I love about this the
most is that Heavenly Father knows that Talito needs this blessing in order to
keep doing his work.
Tender Mercies are real I like what Nephi said once "And
after I had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness, I began to pray
unto the Lord that he would have mercy on me, according to the multitude of his
tender mercies. " There are so many tender mercies out there and sometimes
we are just too blind to see them. Keep your eyes open to all of those mercies
:) Thank you for reading this weeks email Grandma and Grandpa and my other 3
faithful followers ;) I looooooove you alllll
