MILAGRO
What up, good week last week. Super fast one. This week I did some divisions with Elder Muñoz and Elder Aranda and it was good. We went to a super far away village to teach this investigator and it was pretty fun. We also did a service the next morning which was actually pretty lit. We put about 5,000 pounds of rocks in bags for about 3 hours. Elder Aranda said he was feeling sick about 20 minutes in. It was definitely cap. Bro took 4 bathroom breaks, each for at least 15 minutes. We chill tho, bro grinded. Elder Muñoz is a grinder tho, bro is Guatemalan and was lovin the work.
With the work it has been good. We got people progressing and it has been fun lately. This email will be super short. So sorry ma but I want to share a quick thought. We have been praying for miracles to happen but I didn't really know how they would come. President Nelson said this in his talk in April 2022 -
“Moroni assured us that “God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.” Every book of scripture demonstrates how willing the Lord is to intervene in the lives of those who believe in Him. He parted the Red Sea for Moses, helped Nephi retrieve the brass plates, and restored His Church through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Each of these miracles took time and may not have been exactly what those individuals originally requested from the Lord. In the same way, the Lord will bless you with miracles if you believe in Him, “doubting nothing.” Do the spiritual work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can experience for yourself that Jesus Christ “giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” Few things will accelerate your spiritual momentum more than realizing the Lord is helping you to move a mountain in your life.”
Miracles always come, big or small. But we have got to do everything in our power to HELP them happen and trust in God that he will MAKE it happen. Joseph Smith receiving an answer was a miracle, we know that. But it came in a very different way than I'm sure he wanted. I don't think it was very fun to be scolded, feathered, tortured and finally murdered. I don't think that is what the 14 year old boy wanted when he went to pray in the Sacred Grove. But he had the faith and did everything he could. Our Heavenly Father did the rest. It was a tough battled miracle, but still a miracle.
They still exist, God is the same, and how miracles come is the same too. I love you all so much, stay safe
Scripture of the Week:
Mormon 9:15 “And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.”
Mormón 9:15 “Y ahora bien, a todos vosotros que os habéis imaginado a un dios que no puede hacer milagros, quisiera preguntaros: ¿Han pasado ya todas estas cosas de que he hablado? ¿Ha llegado ya el fin? He aquí, os digo que no; y Dios no ha cesado de ser un Dios de milagros”
