The weatherman just said its going to be 11 degrees today! Freak out ... |
Well, guess what? I am
STAYING …YIPEE! I am glad I get to stay another transfer here in the Brockett
Ward. I know I am here to work harder
this transfer. This week we were blessed with the opportunity to go to the
temple again. After, I was so tired I kept falling asleep in the middle of
training. My Mission President had to
clap his hands to wake me up. it worked because I stayed awake the entire rest
of the training.
This week, I will be honest, I think someone touched the thermostat
because when you hear the weather guy say its 11 degrees outside, you kind of -
what's the word I am looking for - oh yeah, here it is … Freak Out! I almost did!
It was so cold all I could have done was super bundle up and pray I
would stay warm. It worked everywhere except my hands because I use them to
knock on all of the doors. Yes, we went
finding in this weather and we were able to find one person but that made me
feel warm the entire remainder of the day. The one cool miracle I will share is
the same person who accepted the invitation to learn more had been to church
twice before. Now that truly is
something! Although we were cold our
Heavenly Father sent us to knock on that one particular door. I am glad he did.
It also turns out it was the person’s birthday so we sang happy birthday to her.
She was so happy she blushed. Yep, thats
missionary work for you. We sing and they blush.
A shout out to my BLOOMINGTON 7TH WARD. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
And here is a good scripture to go along with that. I found this
during personal study. It's in 2 Nephi
33:10-11:
14-year-old Simeon and Selwin in the January 2015 Ensign |
10 And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends
of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe
not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will
believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given
them unto me; and they teach all men they should do good.
11 And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—for Christ
will show unto you, with power and great glory, they are his words, at the last
day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know I
have been commanded of him to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness.
So go and do and despite whatever weakness you may have, what
you will say and do as you share the Gospel will stand out to whom so ever you
are talking to.
PS: On page 16 of this month’s ENSIGN you shall find me and my brother during a seminary class back in Guyana years ago. Yep, we were preparing to serve the Lord even then.
