This week we had An Apostle of the Lord come to our mission.
Elder Renlund is a special witness that Jesus Christ lives. It was one of the
most spiritually powerful conferences I have ever been in. He talked about how
our attitude and efforts must both be positive in order to work miracles. I
loved that. I loved how he focuses on how our personal decisions such as our
personal commitment to follow the Lord's commandments is what the Lord needs us
to do. The Lord wants us to be people of our word. He wants us to do what we
said we would do. God cannot lie and we should not even think about breaking
the covenants that we have made with God. Decisions to keep Commandments such
as keeping the Law of Chastity, living the Word of Wisdom and Keeping the
Sabbath day Holy should have already been made. It makes keeping them in the
Moments all that much easier.
He also
talked about the importance to be united with the church and then the baptism
and conversion comes. There are too many people who go inactive because they
are lacking uniting to the Church of Jesus Christ. In the story of Alma
organizing the church he always states that those who united with the church
where then baptized and converted. It is very important to know the history,
doctrine, and have a divine witness that this is the Church of Jesus Christ.
We are
working hard in Trujillo Alto and I know that the Lord is blessing this island.
I will not return until I have done what the Lord has commanded me to do :) and
we are going to build a temple spiritually through the testimonies of the individuals here
in Puerto Rico. I love this island so much and I know that Heavenly Father is
aware of all that happens here and in every part of the world.
