| And the wise men cometh ... |
This week was
really good despite us not being able to see any of our regular investigators
who all cancelled on us. We've watched and we continue to watch as the Lord
continues to open doors for us, for the last six(6) weekends me and my
companion have been fasting and praying for doors to be opened and this week we
saw the fruits of it come forth as two investigators, we met this week, came to
church. Yes, my joy was filled. This
week we also had Christmas Nativity presentation at the stake center with tons
of different nativities from around the world and performances by various
individuals and by the choir, directed by the choir director from the
University of Southern Mississippi. They
were just awesome. And, no, I did not
participate in it, but I did take pictures of every single nativity set there.
I still can't believe it's almost Christmas already.
Then to top
off the week we had the Christmas Devotional which was just amazing. All the
talks hit home for me. Sister Linda K. Burton actually ended her talk by
quoting a scripture in John 6 I had read that very morning, which reads:
67 Then said
Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then
Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of
eternal life."
Sister Burton only quoted the phrase 'will ye also go away', but I really loved the response of Simon Peter. For where else can we turn for the words to ensure us eternal life? Who else can we turn to who will teach us all things we must do to progress towards eternal life and open our understanding and create a change in us words cannot describe? Who else but the Savior of all mankind Himself even Jesus Christ, so as Simon Peter and the apostles of old, let us cling to the Savior, grasping and clinging to every word He has taught us. Knowing, as we do, our joy will be filled even to overflowing. It is the Savior’s season so we must do all we can to emanate even more of His attributes.
