Miercoles

Stretching and learning more about how to be the missionary that God needs me to be. Ether 12: 27 helps me to understand that when people are invited to come unto Christ, their weakness will be made plain. They are given that gift from Christ in order to see what they lack. Then I must meet that need with Christ´s restored gospel. Only then will they understand that I am a servant of God… and only then will I REALLY BE a servant of God.

Viernes Highlight: I expounded scripture in the night doing follow up to Dayana over the phone. It was amazing. We both felt a burning in our chests and we both knew that the Book of Mormon is true.  John 3: 34 "For whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."  I read over this several times, but only after saying a prayer, I came to understand that God does not give a partial peace to those whom only keep some of his commandments or only wish to listen to some of the words of His disciples. Similarly, the Book of Mormon really is the word of God, and anyone that is denying it will be unable to have the spirit in any measure. (We both felt the spirit really strongly like a burning in our bosoms and she remarked about it.) Ether 4: 10,11 (focused on the part that says) "he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of my spirit." I told her: "Dayana. I will add my...

Three highlights and a bonus highlight if you make it to the end We received a referral of a recent convert (David Danon) that moved in with his nonmember family due to covid. We had a zoom call tonight getting to know him and he is really cool. He's only 26, but he's been working as a 3d designer for jewelry and sculptures. He's loved meeting with the missionaries to talk about scripture and he has a bunch of amazing stories. Like one of his neighbors makes replicas of people and sells them for a lot of money. It's a weird way to get into the middle class, but it works. Also an amazing thing that happened this week is we got covid! Dr Davis told us to go to this urgent care to get tested and the line was so long and we had to wait two hours. While we were in the line, we talked with the person behind us for pretty much the whole time. She's Jewish and she was like ya'll are tooyoung to be Elders. Elder Massey was like ya he's actually 76 ahhaha. We shared a...

Miracle! We were contacting people on the way home yesterday, and we had a feeling that we should contact this one person that recently had been referred to us... but that we should wait ten minutes. Weird. Anyways, we decided to wait before going over even though we had nothing to do, and when we got there the lights were dark and on top of that there was a big fence and an aggressive dog in between us and the house. Right as we were going to leave & delete the referral record, someone pulled in that actually lived there and went in to get the person for us. Her mom and dad came out and they are excited to learn from us. The mom and dad especially want the family to come to church and the mom asked us for some stuff to read between now and the next time we pass by. Then an angel came down and - sike. Ok, but all but the part about the angel really happened. We're gonna have to pass them off to a family ward though because we're only in charge of teaching people in the ysa ...
