Yes I’m
still alive! Yeah we went to the temple. The ZL's didn't tell me anything until Sunday night.
So not my fault!!! I hope you guys are having fun on trek! If I don't hear from
you, well I guess I understand. Ha-ha
This week was good. We
are getting the members into the work more, so that is good! I love having
lessons with the members. It is so much better, the spirit is a ton better, and
the people are so much more responsive to someone they can relate to. I don't have
much time, but I just want to relate a story from this week.
People often think
that their church is true because they have had some spiritual experience, or
their faith was tried and confirmed. So that leads us to the question, does God
answer prayers of other faiths. Do miracles only happen in the LDS church? Let
me share an experience. We had had an investigator who had told us to stop
coming by. Well he was drunk at the time so I didn't give his denial any
relevance. We passed by and got him set on the right path and renewed his
determination to quit drinking. When we taught him again, something miraculous
had happened. He had gone in to update something with his records and they told
him that he had had the wrong birthdate his whole life. So they changed
everything on his record. All of the debts, all of the penalties, all of the
unsavory parts of his record were erased. He literally has a clean slate, in
every sense of the term. So, again, do miracles only happen in the LDS church?
Of course not!! People of the LDS church aren't the only ones that see
miracles, receive personal revelation, or have their faith confirmed with
things from heaven. God loves us and his works are brought to pass by faith,
not by religion. I mean, our church is the only true church on the face of the
planet, but that doesn't mean that only we receive blessings. So no, blessings
don't just come to members of the church, but to ALL of his faithful children.
Well, that’s about all
I have this week. I hope you all have a great week. Keep the faith and work
hard to see the hand of the Lord working in your lives!!
