COME FOLLOW ME
Yo what's up super good week. Going to write a super quick email but we had a lot of progress this week. We've been working in a village called San Jorge and it's been super fun. Before, there was not much going on there but we met with the members and got references and we had awesome lessons. We met this guy named Eber and he was a reference and then he came to church 2 days later. Super goat and all during the second hour he was asking us so many questions and they were all the right questions to be asking. We had a lesson with him after and put a goal for him to get baptized on the 13th. He's a goat and can be super ready by then I know it.
Here's a little quote I want to share with you guys as well, it has helped me a lot through the mission and I hope it can help you guys too.
“Salvation is not a cheap experience, no one is going to have rich abundant experiences for minimal effort. I do believe that there is something in this walk of salvation, this quest that says we have to pay something for that.
When we've come to know the Savior, it's when we've been out something in the border lines of Gethsemane. The road to salvation always goes through Gethsemane and it will always require a journey to the summit of calvary. If we say we are disciples of Christ, we walk where he walked, we feel what he felt, we pray the way he prayed and we shed the tears that he shed in some proportion.
The invitation is always "Come follow me”. That journey will be somewhere in the border lands of Gethsemane and at least somewhere in the shadow of calvary”. - Jeffrey R. Holland
Anyways that was a cool little story I wanted to share with you all and hope you guys are all doing super good. Stay safe
Scripture of the Week:
D&C 58:2-4 “2 For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, whether in life or in death; and he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven. 3 Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation. 4 For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand”
DyC 58:2-4 “2 Porque de cierto os digo, bienaventurado es el que guarda mis mandamientos, sea en vida o muerte; y el que es fiel en la tribulación tendrá mayor galardón en el reino de los cielos. 3 Por lo pronto no podéis ver con vuestros ojos naturales el designio de vuestro Dios concerniente a las cosas que vendrán más adelante, ni la gloria que seguirá después de mucha tribulación. 4 Porque tras mucha tribulación vienen las bendiciones. Por tanto, viene el día en que seréis coronados con mucha gloria; la hora no es aún, mas está cerca”
