Well I've had a sinus infection. Good thing I have the most patient companion ever because she's had to put up with that for a few weeks. I'm finally on meds though so hopefully I get better soon. Grateful for the priesthood.
M is on track for her baptism and is coming to all the activities and everything. :) She glows now. The gospel changes lives.
So remember that guy H I told you about last week? So we go over again this week and he's telling me the whole story of the restoration and says he hasn't been taught for 10 years. I'm wondering why this guy remembers it all and more importantly why he isn't baptized. So we go back near the end of the week and he told the member that we were with that he's a member! He has the priesthood! He came to church this week! In a white shirt and tie! crazy that we found him walking down the street, right?
On Wednesday we had a lesson with a part member family that we recently started teaching. The wife has been less active for about 7 years and the husband just started becoming interested in the church. Because of recent world events, they were asking us a lot of life questions. In Preach My Gospel there is a section called "The Book of Mormon Answers Questions of the Soul." It lists a few of the most common questions people have about life and such. Every single one of their questions could be answered by the Book of Mormon. Last night in the Christmas devotional, Elder Bednar spoke of Christ's coming in 3 Nephi. He talked about all the events and signs that were shown through different types of light. Many similar things have been taking place these past few weeks that make me think of the signs and coming of the Savior. When I first heard a few of these things, I got really
scared. That usually is our first reaction, but that is the opposite of faith. We have been told in scripture and by a living prophet that the Son of God will come again. We know it's not all going to be peaches and cream either. Just like the people in the story in 3 Nephi, we will go through days of great darkness. In the end though, we will experience great light. We will soon rest from our labors, IF WE ARE RIGHTEOUS. It's going to become harder and harder to be a follower of Christ and especially a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it will all be worth it in the end.
3 Nephi 9
14 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have
eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and
whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who
come unto me.
15 Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God...
18 I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end.
Com amor, Hermana Jorgensen
