Well we have some good news! We have a baptismal date set with Leovi Hilda. She is a new investigator that is living with a member for a while some problems calm down in her pueblito. She is really good and expressed a great desire to follow Christ and be baptized only in the true church. She has never been baptized despite attending multiple churches and religions because something just told her that it wasn’t right. She has accepted the goal for October 2. She is really great and I enjoy teaching her.
Ramiro and Jose Francisco are really great and I love just talking to them and teaching them cool things about the Gospel and outside of the gospel. They are obsessed with the fact that I can all but break my neck. Haha. I don’t do it very often, but when I do they go off in their Chinatecan.
So here is an idea that I want to throw out there to you all. When was the last time you renewed your testimony? When was the last time you asked God if what you believe and live is true? Are you scared to do it because you don’t want to betray the feelings that the Spirit has already given you? Maybe you don’t want to show any form of doubt so you keep with the same testimony that you have had for years? I say that it is better to ask and receive the answer anew. How much stronger could your faith be if you received an answer every morning that the church of Jesus Christ has been restored on the Earth again. That is what the Spirit testifies of.
If you aren’t getting that renewal, is that not a more likely time for doubt to enter? I know that this Church is true. I know that Christ lives and that it is only through Him and His eternal atonement that we will one day enter into the Kingdom of God . I know that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the restoration and that through him, Christ re-established His church in it’s perfect form here on the Earth for me, my family and each one of you. This is a small part of my testimony that I would like to share with you. It is new and strong. It will not die because it receives new life each day. I would like to invite you all to bring new life to your testimonies as well.
I love you all and I am very grateful for your prayers. I can feel them and they push me along. Thank you so much.
