April 24, 2017

This week went by super fast. 

The whole week we were focused on preparing Pedro for his baptism and he really was willing and made the effort. I sometimes felt that he was such a perfect investigator that a lot of times, even though we taught him all the lessons, I thought, “Are we even doing anything?” Because it just seemed like God was guiding him so much. 

We were really grateful for this miracle and to be able to teach him. We were so excited for his baptism

We got to help out the family Castro with their house that they are building. That was really fun. Hard work but we got to experience it.

I have really enjoyed getting to know the Bible better, specifically, the New Testament, and I want to share something I learned...

This week we were watching a Bible video with Jesus Christ about the Bread of life. It’s found in John 6. I have seen it and heard it before and I was kind of zoned out but still listening and well some things caught my attention and I had to listen to it again and then look for the scriptures...

First, I heard about when Jesus talks about how the bread of live is what descended from the heavens and gave life to the world.  Here the people were still thinking about the manna from heaven.

At this point Jesus tells them that He is the Bread of Life and that he descended from the heavens to give not only life but life eternal.

A little bit later he says in the 51st verse that the bread that he gives us is his flesh and his sacrifice.

Now how do we remember his sacrifice? The Sacrament! In the verses 54 through 56 it talks about how we can have life eternal through remembering Jesus with the sacrament. It’s part of enduring to the end.

These are simple principles but it made the connection with me that the bread of life is Jesus, and we remember Jesus with the sacrament, Sooo taking the sacrament each week is how we partake of the bread of life.

I enjoyed studying that this week

That’s about all for this week.

My toe is doing a lot better. The doctor took out the stiches and everything.

Love Elder Wolf

We helped out a family put a concrete base for their house. They are our investigators. They are the Castro Family. They have 5 kids from the ages of 8 and under and the parents want to get baptized with their little boy Christian who has 8 years.  It was hard work to mix the cement and all, I have a lot of respect for the people who work in that almost every day. Afterwards, Tony, (the dad) wanted us to write our names in the concrete. It was an honor.
