Mis Queridos Hermanos y
Hermanas,
Me siento feliz a
escribir les y decir les sobre la gran obra del Señor. I am so glad to be a
missionary and to be working here in this very small town full of love and
people to begin teaching. In my area in Ojocaliente the truth is it is very
Catholic and the evidence is the giant cathedral in the garden or center of
town, as well as the various Virgin Mary’s in the streets to worship. All this
though still doesn’t stop us from working and finding those to teach. We don’t
have very many investigators, but we have a family that we are working with
right now, and guess what, they lived in Placentia! It was awesome to hear that
and to know that it’s a small world. I’m still teaching English and more people
are coming which is great, but it’s also good because I’m beginning to forget
how to speak English! All is good though because I can talk with the people
according to their understanding. Our area is also very large and we walk about
12 Km a day I think maybe more. The work is getting better and better though
with a lot more people in the chapel. We have an activity coming up this week
also and it’s called a Mega Noche de Hogar (Home Evening) with the ward, but
for investigators. We’re hoping many will come. The theme is the Plan of
Salvation and we are giving the message. I don’t have too much else to say, but
that I hope as members of the Church of Jesus Christ we are standing as witnesses
of him in all times and in all things and in all places.
So this week I have been
thinking a lot about the importance of looking for revelation and guidance. I
came to the conclusion that the best way possible to do so is through study, prayer,
and pondering, but with a sincere intent to learn and apply the revelation to
our lives immediately. I love this idea, because it is repeated in The Book of
Mormon over and over again that if we seek it we shall find it. Nephi says that
through diligent study and pray the mysteries of God can be unfolded unto us.
How great a knowledge that if we look intently that God will make himself
manifest unto us. If we truly desire to know God will reveal it unto us in his
time, as we lose our lives for his cause. As the Savior promised, If a man
should go looking for his life he shall lose it, but if a man loseth his life
for my sake he shall find it. So lose yourself in seeking the Lords Will and
Revelation for yourself.
I LOVE YOU ALL
