The Pure Love Of Christ
Hey folks!
In our ward, we are teaching the
parents of one member named Cinthia. We shared a message last week with her and
asked her if she knew anyone who she wanted to receive the Gospel. She couldn't
think of anyone and referred us to a friend of hers who has been inactive for a
while so after we wrapped up the lesson, we went over to visit her friend whose
name is Abigail. We found her at home and shared a brief message with her about
trials and how through the Lord Jesus Christ we can receive strength to endure
our trials. While we talked she started to cry and said that she was thinking a
lot recently about the need for her to go back to church and that when we got
there it was an answer from God. We passed by the next day and found her sister,
Judith, who was not a member. As we got talking with Judith, she said that she
wasn't even sure she believed that there was a God. She listened a little more
and agreed to go to church last week with us. We went back on Tuesday to visit
her and planned to teach about the Plan of Salvation. As we taught, doubt
entered my mind and I started to think negatively and think that she wouldn't
accept or feel anything. I was in those thoughts when I remembered what we had
taught the zone these past few weeks. Since she was 21 I imagined the friends I
have back home and the love I had for them and then I turned that love towards
her, picturing her as one of my best friends. I felt deep love in Christ sink
into my heart and I started to feel the spirit testify strongly as we continued
to teach. We asked her how she felt and she related to us that recently she was
talking to God through prayer and that she wanted help desperately and that's
when we showed up. She said she had done it before and that's when the
missionaries passed by for the first time with her sisters. She said she felt it
was an answer from God to her and accepted to be baptized. I felt deep
appreciation for the Lord as we sat there and a huge humbling feeling come over
me as I thought about the greatness of our Lord and God and the chance they gave
us and especially me in that moment to be an instrument in His hand. Judith was
baptized this past Saturday and since Tuesday we have seen amazing changes in
her heart and spirit as she has come to know and accept the truth.
Lots of
amazing things are happening here! I love you all! Have a great week!
Judith's baptism!
¡Ten fe y se obediente!
Todo mi amor,
Elder San Diego
