Well this is hard because the weeks go by so fast now I can hardly remember what happened.
We've been working with a Less-Active named Shaun. He's awesome, and been coming really actively. It's interesting because we've been working with his family alot, and they're progressed alot, but he never came. But he broke up recently with his longtime girlfriend, and didn't really know what to do. So the next time I saw him I just asked him straight up "So are you gonna start coming to church now?" and he just kind of stopped and said "I dunno?" He was at church that sunday and we've been meeting with him because he feels we can help him get his life straight. He is doing very very well.
Basically this whole week we've been doing finding activities, and recently we decided we would do a project about sticking to basics.
We're helping members, investigators and others get into the habit of reading the Book of Mormon and praying. We have firm testimonies that it is by the basics that we are able to have our solid foundations in Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. If the members and Less-actives and investigators make these things a consistent part of their lives they will build stronger faith in the Savior, and our Father in Heaven, and they will learn to exercise more faith by reading what is essentially the Blueprint to Eternal Life! It's awesome!
I have strived myself to read the Book of Mormon daily, and to pray morning, night and throughout the day. I know that by that habit I have grown closer to my Father in Heaven and my Savior. I can testify that they live because of it! I know they exist! They are real tangible beings who love us so much, and they want what is best for us. They will comfort us, if we will just let them.
Personal, and family Scripture Study and Prayer is the key to accessing spiritual strength!
It is my invitation to you all to make that an active part of your lives, and to STICK WITH IT!
So here's the big part, I've invited you to do this-
WILL YOU DO IT?!
I testify if you do you will know God's love for you and for all mankind. You will have strength in struggles, and trials! I have seen that! Christ lives, and because He died for us He knows us! He knows all your struggles and mine- and because of it he can succor us in our needs.
But now I must leave. Kind of a lame cut off but deal with it!
