Well there was another change in my area. The baptism that we had planned for this week with Jose and Ramiro, has been changed for this next week so that Ramiro´s mom can be there. She is really great and probably a future member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We haven’t taught her, but we explained a few things to her because she was wondering about the baptism and what we were teaching her son, and she just accepted what we said and threw in her own great comments. She left quickly though to get back to work.
Guillermo is still going, though we can see him once a week. His wife was in the lesson too and she said that it wouldn’t be easy to leave the Catholic church because they have their images and all that. She straight up said "images". I quickly wanted to respond with the 10 commandments, but I was held back. I just had to wait for something. Her husband then found the scripture in the Bible and told her, "See? It says it right here, in Bible and clearly, that images are wrong." She was silent. Very silent. We dropped the point and moved on to other things that probably hit her as well, just not directly.
We weren’t able to meet with Panfila, the woman that had the dream about her brother, nor her daughter-inlaw, Carmen. We will work with them this week.
Now, for this AWESOME general conference. I just want to talk a little about what Sister Dalton said about raising little girls. I loved it. I put that into missionary work. How can the investigators know what to look for in the church of Christ
For members, how they treat their families and their leaders. Are you respecting those that you have a calling to serve? If you don’t have a calling, are you loving those that ask you to help them in their callings with support and service? If you aren’t, why would anyone want to join a church that has no support?
Christ is the foundation of this church. But a foundation has corner stones and does not go on forever. How then can we have Christ for our foundation if we are not standing on that foundation, but wandering off. Love every person, including yourself, and you will see growth. Love your wife, and your daughters will know what to expect when it is their turn. Mothers, respect the righteous guidance of your husbands, and your sons will not fail in finding a worthy and a loving wife when it is time.
President Reeves always talks about marriage to us. Not to make us want to move past our missions, but so that we can use our missions to prepare. This is our time to prepare because this is where we are. Where are you? Great. That is your place and your time to prepare. Be an example to help the future generation prepare as well.
I was pretty much writing what came to my head so I hope it makes sense because I have NO time to correct it.
I love you all!!! "Be good and be good for something." - President Hinkley
