This week was a dub thats all ima say
But I wanted to start this email with the zone counsel we had last pday because it was insane. So basically we practiced how to teach the restoration in 4 minutes; teach it simple, clear, yet powerful and boy oh boy the spirit was so strong. It made me realize that when I teach things real Clear and simple, it is so much easier for the spirit to testify. It might have been the strongest ive felt the spirit in my life. Then the LZ's invited us to do a 40 day spiritual fast and told us to write down 10 things that we do on a day to day basis that could drive away the spirit, and then to eliminate those things for these next 40 days. Safe to safe I followed through with this invitation and I can really see how much more the Lord can work through me as I strive to be worthy of the spirit in every moment.
What a powerful zone counsel, and then we followed it up with zone conference. We're on a spiritual high over here. President per usual was spittin straight bars it was a great way to start the week.
Then during the week we saw some crazy miracles. I wanted to share this experience I had during a comp exchange with my zone leader. So we were in my área and we were looking for this member family that we could never find. So we were outside clapping at this one house and they weren't there..lame. But we started walking away and I look over at a house across the street and see this old lady like about to leave her house. So I see this old lady and for some reason I just knew she was elect. So I looked at Elder Barker, my comp, and I started smiling and im like "dude I feel something" So I walk over to her, and usually when I go up and talk to someone I introduce myself as a missionary ya know the usual. But this was different. I walked over and looked at her and just felt the need to ask, "what are you looking for from god" and she looked at me, and was just like "I feel so alone and I have no idea what to do" So after talking to us she told us her name was Angela and let us in her house. We were able to teach her the gospel of Jesus Christ and she was more than ready to accept a baptism date! We then were able to get her to church on Sunday and it was so awesome to see her Face at church because she was so happy, she already knew so many members and shes literally a miracle. Vamo Angela!
I can see as Im striving to be more worthy of the spirit, the lord can bless me with more promptings as well. But safe to say this 40 day fast has not been easy. As I look back every night and how I did with my 10 things I want to eliminate. I find that I sure do mess up ALOT. Something ive realized Is thats OK. A scripture I love is moroni 10:32...
"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."
It is through Christ and his atonement where we can be made whole. So even though I am far from perfect, through Christ and his atoning power, these imperfections can be made perfect. So even though as a missionary I mess up on a day to day basis, I know I can turn to Christ and be made whole. I know that Jesus is the Christ, and he is leading his church today. Through his atonement all of us can be made clean and reach our divine potential!
