Hey! Sorry about last week, all of tthe cybers were closed.
All of them.
So, to catch you up on on the last two weeks - I'm alive,
and workign hard, and I love you all. Bye. I'm just kidding, I'm actually going
to write today.
This past week we had the great priviledge to watch Julio
Cesar descend into the waters of baptism. He's a super powerful young adult who
actually found us and basically asked to be baptized. He's been attending
insititue for about two months now after several of his good freinds, who are
members, invited him to attend Principals of the Restoration. And he loved it.
About a month later, we got a text from, one of his friends that basically gave
us his address and said He wants you to visit him at 10 AM tomorrow. Bueno,
pues, vaminos. About five minutes into the conversation, he already had a
baptismal date. It was honestly super cool to watch his conversion process,
becasue we prety much only saw the very end of it.
It was honestly a huge testimony that we as members have the
responsibility to planat, water and try to help nuture the seeds of others,
becasue wthe missioanries are called specifically to reap and harvest those who
God, more often than not through their member friends, has already prepared. I
can only think of one person in my entire mission who I have watched descend
into the baptsimal waters who was not a referral from a member or had several
very good member friends. Please, please, please, be examples of the believers
and be aware fo those around you, becasue there are so many who are kept from
the truth only becasue they know not where to find it. I want to invite every
one of you, no matte where you are or what situation you a re in, to invite
someone to coem unto Christ this week by inviting them to church or a church
activity, talkign to them and sharign yur testimony abbut the Book of Mormon,
or invitign them to meet with the missionaries. It is not anough to just talk
about the church and the trusth, we must invite all to learn the truth.
I know that if we do this, we will be surprised in just how many of our friends
are open to learning more and acting on the message we share, and I testify
that there is no joy greater than to watch someone you care about begin the
journey back home again on the covenant path.
