What's up everybody! Hope y'all are staying warm and safe!
This week we were able to have a video call lesson with one
of Elder Rands' good friends. This guy was taught by missionaries when he was
younger and wanted to be baptized but for various reasons that didn't end up
happening. But anyway, he goes to college in Georgia and after a week of
college life, joined a Christian fraternity with 120 other dudes who have sworn
off alcohol and premarital sex. If the Stripling Warriors are still alive
they'd be found in this frat. These are guys are mega studs.
Long story short this friend of ours is a beast and loves
the Lord. He wants to know truth and is willing to do all he can to find it. We
can't wait to continue to teach him and help him learn more about Christ's
Restored Gospel. Next step, we'll infiltrate this frat and teach all these
stalwart guys our age who are ready to hear His message.
Maybe...hopefully...God willing. Either way, this frat that we're about to drop
into has reestablished some hope in my own generation😂
Listen to what Abinadi says to King Noah and his priests in
the Book of Mormon: "Ye have not applied your hearts to understanding;
therefore, ye have not been wise."(Mosiah 12:27). Ouch. Pretty harsh. But
that's not why I like it so much. Something my companion Elder Rands told me
this week(the guy's been out for 3 weeks now) is that "If it's worth
doing, it's worth doing 100%". How often do we just go through the
motions? How often do I go through the motions? How often do we now "apply
our hearts"? If this life is a life to prepare to meet God, then let's not
waste away our days. Apply your heart in all things. Have real intent in all
things. Then when you fail, you don't have to worry because you can have faith
that it was the Lord's way. That's something that I'm working on. Have faith and
apply your hearts!
