This week was great!
We started off the week with pday and then on Tuesday a
baptism. IT was the craziest baptism yet.
It was a sweet 16/ wedding type party. and just for a
baptism. Her name is Mariah and she has been going to church sense she was 8.
Her mom is also baptized but she fell away from the church and never let Mariah
be baptized. But through fast and prayer as always her mom let her but she
wanted a cake and everything so we let her ha-ha. The baptism turned out really
great and her sister he is inactive and her mom and her dad who isn’t a member
went to the baptism. Her mom seems to be coming back to the church and we have
been having Family nights with them to help.
Also this week we went to a members house and we did something
that we created as a district called ADC which is abençoar, demonstar,
convidar. In English that is bless, demonstrate, and invite. We go to the
members house and we bless them by saying a prayer, leaving a message, or
helping them remember maybe their mission or when they were baptized, and
then we demonstrate by using examples or scriptures, and then we
invite them to do something. We invited this member to pray to receive 5 names.
and we did so and she gave us 5 names! But what was even more interesting wasn’t
the 5 names that she gave us but what happened after. Right before we left she
looked at a house across the street and told us that it was a member´s house,
but the member is inactive and it’s been years. When we went to her house
she wasn’t busy and told us to come back around that same time but just in the
following day. So we returned to her house a day after and she let us in and we got talking about her life and the
gospel and she told us that the night before that we knocked on her door she
was praying for help in her life and Peace and then we knocked on her door. she
said that it was an answer from God and she bore our testimony to us. Her friend
was also there and she said a pray the night before asking for help to guide
her to the right church. It was two birds with one stone! I just love how the
Lord Works. and then they said they would go to church and they did! she loved
it and they said they would be there the following week and the less active
even said she would help us with her friend by getting her baptized.
I also had the opportunity to watch Presidente Nelson be
sustained. It was a true testimony that he is a prophet of God her on this
Earth today.
I know that are church is the only living church, it has a
prophet and apostles. without that it’s a dead church that doesn’t receive more
revelation. How could a dead church help us? it can’t and that’s why we need
our prophets and apostles to keep everything in line with the revelations from
God.
I love this gospel.
And I hope that everyone has a great week.
Love
Elder Toma
