Hey Everyone
It’s been another awesome week as I'm
still adjusting to my new area and responsibilities as district leader. This
past Tuesday, I went on splits with Elder Beecher an elder in my district so I
could do the baptismal interview for their GOLDEN investigators Junior. He has
an amazing conversion story. A couple years back he made plans to have his
first lesson with the missionaries one night but he ended up getting arrested
due to possession of drugs and never got to meet with the missionaries. One day
when he was in jail he ran into some missionaries that were teaching in the
jail there and he basically learned everything of the gospel there and built
his testimony. The missionaries gave him a pass along card to call as soon as
he got out of jail so he could find a church and get baptized and that's
exactly what he did! During the interview he constantly was bearing his
testimony and I knew without a doubt that he was ready to make this step. This
Sunday was his baptism and he had all his kids from Arizona come up for the
service. Unfortunately he had a family member of his die on the freeway minutes
before the baptism and it almost seemed like it wasn't going to happen. But it
happened, and it was super powerful and his testimony was super strong! I'm
looking again to teach a person like him again. That is what motivates me to
work hard so I can be ready to find these kind of people!
The Lord works from the
inside out. The world works from the outside in. the world would take the
people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they
take the slums out of themselves. The world would mold men by changing
environment. Christ changes man, who then change their environment. The world
would shape human behavior bur Christ can change human nature.
