This was a great week! We had a zone
conference and talked lots about unity and the importance of working together
to accomplish our goals. I could see how that helped in the teaching of me and
my companion this week.
We had a lesson this week with a GREAT
couple. Jimena is a member that came back to church a few months ago and Lucas
is her boyfriend. We have had some really powerful lessons with them and this
week we had to give the chastity talk. We basically proposed marriage for him
and they accepted but it was not easy to get to that point. I’ll never forget
when my companion took off his name tag, pointed to the name Jesus Christ and
declared that as representatives of Jesus Christ we promised them as His
representatives that by living the law of chastity they would never again worry
about where they would get the money to provide for their family. I then shared
a scripture and when invited them to live the law of chastity, they both humbly
responded that they would. It felt like there was lightning in the room the
spirit was so strong. It was Awesome.
There are great things happening in
the Lords true and restored church. Now is the time to prepare ourselves to be
able to fulfill His great purposes.
