Dear Family
This week was a good week, we had the opportunity to go
to our zone conference which was super good, I have already come to love my
president and his spouse. They are such good people and are helping the mission
a ton.
It was good to see some old companions at the conference
so that was fun. This week we are just preparing for Mateus’s baptism on Friday,
it sounds like his whole family is going to be there.
One scripture that I like that I read this week is words
of Mormon 1:17 that says, " For behold, King Benjamin was a holy man, and
he did reign over his people in righteousness; and there were many holy men in
the land, and they did speak the word of God with power and with authority; and
they did use much sharpness because of the stiffneckedness of the people"
I like to sometimes apply the scriptures to modern day so
I replaced King Benjamin with Presidente Monson. Today he guides us and we can
be the many holy men or women preaching the word of God with power and authority.
I realized that authority could be our callings for
example I’m called and ordained as a missionary and so I have the authority to
preach the Gospel, but power is something that depends on us. If we are more obedient
and if we have more faith then we have more power to preach the word of God.
Russel Ballard said that the only true conversion is through the power of the
Holy Ghost. I liked that a lot because it is so true.
I think it is very possible to baptize someone without
that person feeling the spirit but either they will feel it and be converted or
the will fall away from the church.
Congrats to Conner and for his team for beating Battlefield.
