June 5, 2017

This week was pretty normal!

We were able to find some new people to work with. A family accepted a baptism date. I know that we are blessed when we are courageous. Sometimes it scares us to invite them to baptism on the first appointment but really we have seen that God softens their hearts to be able to receive these blessings.

Something that I want to share that I learned is in the Bible. I have been reading more in the Bible. I really like to watch the Bible videos and then find the passage that talks about the story. It helps me to make the Bible more real and to also remember better. I really liked the story of the conversion of Saul to Paul and the road to Damascus. The story is in Acts 22 and it talks about how Saul was doing bad things until He saw Jesus and he was changed (obviously) his vision was then healed by Ananias and he started to do better with his life.

I was then thinking about how he had to literally see Jesus to change his ways.

I then thought about when Jesus appeared to his apostles, and when the apostle Thomas didn’t believe that he had come again. He was a living apostle and he doubted. He too needed to see to believe. It’s in John 20:24-29. Jesus then showed himself and of course Thomas believed. Jesus used this moment to teach a lesson and said the blessed are they that believed without seeing.

I love this lesson because this is what we do. We use our faith to believe without seeing. When we have faith, how great is this faith! How powerful of a thing it is, to believe and feel the blessings of our faith. How many people saw miracles of Jesus and still didn’t believe that he was the Christ?

I love learning more about my savior every day, and I am so blessed to be able to share this knowledge.

That’s about it for the day

Love you all, I’m doing good here.

These are some pictures of what we did today. Omar is one of our investigators and he is a welder. We wanted him to show us a little bit of what he does, and so today we got to go and weld some things and learn.

  

Then Pedro took us out to lunch to eat calzones. He’s so nice and awesome!
