Hey Mom,
This week was a really good week. We had a lot of
success. We baptized the familia Castro yesterday. It was such a
wonderful experience to see them embrace the Lord. It was a heartfelt
experience for me.
The Sisters still are not seeing success. They had two
daughters from an inactive family this week that they were going to
baptize but the parents are really hard hearted. They really didn't want
their daughters to be baptized. I think it is because they don't want to
go back to church. They left the church when other members were doing
things. They lost their drive to keep going forward. This happened
right when they started to prepare to enter the temple. Satan always
strikes the hardest when we are doing what's right. So this was
really hard for them. But that's all right. The Sisters will have
success.
Well it was a really cool experience on Saturday in the
bus. We contacted the bus again. While we were talking the Spirit
just came over me and we were just testifying with pure power. It was so
awesome. That was the first time that this has happened while contacting
a bus.
The Lord is with me; I can feel him. It has been a bit
hard lately because Satan is tempting me so much. He has not stopped
tempting me. It is a constant battle. I am so tired. It has
been really hard with this lately. But it really helps me to think that I
do not want to disappoint my Father in Heaven. I am trying so hard to
give it all I can these next few weeks.
A young man in my ward just got back from his mission this
past week and yesterday he spoke in church. He talked a lot about
obedience to the commandments of God. It was such a powerful talk.
I am 100 % obedient. It is not easy. But I am trying so hard to
be. I pray for strength every day that the Lord might be with me.
It is hard but I know that the Lord will bless me. Today is a new
day. We have to live every moment with this hope. That whatever we
do we have to pick ourselves back up and keep going. We can't get down when
we fall. We have to stay up and then get back up. Satan can never
get a true hold of us when we don't loose our hope and faith. I have
noticed that when Satan knows we make a mistake, there Satan is again tempting
us by putting words and thoughts into our heads to try and keep us down.
But we cannot let him win. We must keep him out even if we fall.
Just pick ourselves up again. It's hard. But we can do it.
The Lord knows the intentions of our hearts.
I love you so much Mom. Thank you for all you do for
me. And for the support you show me.
Always and Forever
