Q: ¿Quien fue al persona mas
Pelacon (o rico si aprendiste español en otra país) en el Libro de Mormón?
A: "La-Moni"
Yeah maybe I need to work on
my joke stills again but how is going?
Hey quick question... have
you all heard this song before?? I had one of my buddies in the office show me
it and man its sweet!! Check it out! (It’s attached hopefully)James the Mormon
But yeah let me tell you
about the crazy and amazing week I’ve had!! So many times I’ve had people start
screaming at me, slam doors in our face or family members of investigators just
be super mean. But despite it all I have just had this unexplainable love for
them! We had a Noche de Hogar (family home evening) last night and I shared my
Dad's favorite scriptures Corinthians 13:4,8 and Moroni 7:45, which talk
about Love and CHARITY. I explained how great of an example my father has been
for me. Above anything I remember how much he taught me about serving others. He
really always told me how proud of me was when I served others, he always set
such a great example of helping others and I know that Serving others has been
the biggest factor in growing my testimony. As a missionary all I do everyday
is serve others, and there’s nothing else i'd rather be doing. I shared in our family home evening how even though people are mean and cruel sometimes it doesn’t
mean we shouldn’t love them. Christ himself was humiliated, whipped, spit upon,
mocked, forced to carry His own cross, and finally nailed to it. As He was
nailed to the Cross He offered a prayer to His Father and pleaded forgiveness
for His loved ones who were treating Him so poorly. During my time here are a servant
of the Lord I have learned to love those who curse me, serve those who do harm
to me and above all, see the children of the Lord AS HE SEES THEM!!
I have been so amazed how
many miracles I’ve seen this week! Man I’ve just had such a love for the work
and was so blessed!! We guided to a family who is just so ready for the gospel
this week, we passed by on Monday and they begged us to come back
every day to visit them!!! Then on Sunday we passed by this poor little
families home to bring them to church and they were all ready in their best
cloths and waiting for us to arrive. MIRACLES LIKE THAT JUST DONT HAPPEN
HERE!!
So yeah I was in an extremely
good mood this Sunday with a whopping 8 investigators at church!!
Maria Fernanda Paz has been
through a rollercoaster these last few weeks we’ve been teaching her, she
really has changed so much so fast!! She told us last night how she was unsure
if she wanted to get baptized anymore after church, but right when we passed by
she was going to tell us that she changed her mind and didn’t want to go
through with it, but before she could I felt inspired to Re-Teach Lesson 3: The
Gospel of Jesus Christ (my favorite lesson to teach) and when we got to the
part of Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost I just felt the spirit poor over
me and I thought with words that weren’t even my own. My companions and another
member bore their testimonies about the importance of the Holy Ghost and Maria
just started crying and told us how she didn’t understand the importance of
being baptized and was about to tell us that she didn’t want to go through with
it... but now she knows why and really wants to get baptized!!!
Les quiero bastante y que se
vayan muy bien esta semana!
Felicidad es una decisión,
entonces elije a ser feliz!
Leas el Libro de Mormón todo
los días!
~Elder Stidham
