March 5, 2018 Exercising our faith daily!


Dear family

These week was great!

We worked with the members this week and they helped a lot. 

We also met a super good family. We taught the restoration and after words the mom told us that she was struggling that week and they only thing that was missing was visiting the church of the Mormons ha-ha, the next day we showed up and she noticed that he must have been an answer from God. after the lesson the husband also commented that he felt the Spirit and that the message was true. 

I started reading the Book of Mormon again and there are so many things that I have noticed. I think that it’s interesting that we notice these things when we NEED them. 

Last week was a hard week because we gave it our all to bring all of our investigators to church and it didn’t go as we planned. 

I was studying in 1 Nephi and the Lord commanded Nephi and his brothers to go get the brass plates from Laban. Laman gets the short end of the stick and he goes and talks to Laban. As we know it didn’t go well. The second time Nephi and his brothers bring all of their precious items to Laban and Laban steals from them and even tries to kill them.

At this point I think that most of us would call it quits, returning would be a death wish! But Nephi remembers how Great God is and he returns and TRIES AGAIN, this time he succeeds. This week we tried again, and we were able to see the blessing of the Lord. Sometimes when things don’t go well and it seems like we have already tried everything, it’s just the time to try again just like Nephi did. That’s what builds our faith. Exercising our faith is just like physical exercise, if we don’t do it daily then we can become unhealthy. 

Sounds like everyone is doing well. 

I hit 1 year and 5 months but I’m so far away from being trunky ha-ha. 

Love you guys and hope that you all have a great week
Elder Toma
