Well, I really don't know
what to say. I have a million moments passing through my mind's eye. I don't
even know where to begin. Okay, a little bit from the week.
We have an
investigator that is progressing really well. Her name is Ruby. She is really
great and has come to church 4 times. Well, one of her old pastors came and was
talking her out of coming to church. She was letting the world tell her and
teach her of Godly things. So we gave her a blessing to be able to receive an
answer from her Heavenly Father. We invited her to pray, asking specifically
for direction from Him. She accepted. The next day we passed by and she had a
story to tell us. That night she had had a dream. She was walking along a path
in an open field. As she was walking along this path, some lilies caught her
attention. She walked over to them and noticed the whiteness and brightness of
these lilies. She said to herself "These are the lilies that I have been
looking for and have always wanted. I think I will ask the lady to sell me
some." She then turned, looking for the owner, but found no one. Looking
back at them she said "Look how white they are. They are just like the
white shirts of the missionaries." Then she woke up. The Lord answers
prayers. The Lord cares about us and if we have questions about things
pertaining to the Kingdom of God, why would we look in the worldly kingdom for
the answers? Don't accept anything less than an answer from a loving Heavenly
Father. Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Prayer
works my friends.
Last night we had a
meeting with the stake president and Mission President about how we can help
the work in our zones. The answer, WORK WITH THE MEMBERS!!! All you members
should make time to go with the missionaries. Just saying. But before the
meeting, President Bird pulled me into a classroom to talk. He told me that my
Grandfather had passed away. I didn't know what to feel. Truth is, I had been
expecting that. Ever since Saturday, I had had a feeling that the Lord needed
his valiant son with him more than he needed him here in a failing body. It is
good to know that the Lord is now using him for the salvation of many on the
other side of the veil. My companion said I was strong, but my wet pillow at
the end of the day said something different. One thing that I have learned
about the Atonement of Jesus Christ is that for me it doesn't take away the
pain at the beginning. Life is still painful, just like a wound at first. But
it does soothe the pain. It is the Holy Balm that if we apply it, it will heal
whatever wound, spiritual or physical. The atonement is not just for the
spiritual pain, but also for the pain that as humans we are susceptible to
feel. Pain from hurt feelings, from a bad day, or from the loss of someone dear
to your heart. The Lord does take away the pain, if we open ourselves up to His
healing hands. My hope is that we can all accept and utilize the healing power
of the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. I love you guys so much. Have a
great week!
