Week 94:Elder Young,"God Lives"

Well I am sitting here in the park while all of my companions are playing soccer. It is pretty fun. One of our investigators came and he brought his kids so I/m teaching them how to play ukulele. They are so adorable. It has been a good week.

EFY Song I like

I was sitting up in my bed

When they called me one day

My bags were unpacked

My training was done

I started feeling like a father

So I followed the son

I close the scriptures

And shut the door

My mind is heavy

As my knees hit the floor

I pray to my Father

And

I'm not perfect

But there is one who is

So when I fall

I remember I am his

Please, ladies and gentlemen, if you don’t believe in God, do this: Ask god if he loves you in a prayer. Start by saying dear Heavenly Father, end by saying in the name of Jesus Christ amen. Wait for 20 seconds. You will also know that he lives. That is all I do as a missionary. That is all it takes. God lives. I know it. After seeing many people just pray and GOD saying, get baptized in this church. I know that it is true. I was present in all those lessons or aleast a whole lot of them. God lives. He does. I promise. In the very Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Just wanted to make a quick entry here about the feelings of the Holy Spirit that I have felt in my mission. I have felt, whenever I see someone who I know needs to hear the gospel, I feel in my heart the words or feelings : this person was put in your camino today so that you can bless him. I then have complete confidence, I tell them that and they feel great and happy. It works. The spirit is real because that happens extremely often. I can feel it.

Well, Ricardo got baptized today. That was fun. It was a nice relief to see him be so faithful and just come through in the end. Great man. He took the baptism and everything super well. He, when we first met him, said that he didn’t even believe in God. Now he prays frequently and is learning to love the Lord. It was a fun baptism. I remember when I was teaching him. I testified of Christ and he was nodding his head  in agreement. The spirit was burning and I gave probably the most powerful testimony I’ve ever given about Christ. It was such a pleasure. I know that testimony effected him and I am so glad to have been worthy, able, and willing to bare it to him. What a great moment that was. Actually, thinking about it well that moment of testifying was even more fun and spiritual and happy than the baptism itself. It's about the journey with the investigators. It is really nice to see them make it, but the moment of conversion isn’t the baptism itself, it’s before. It's in the midnight prayer. It’s in the lesson where you asked them to pray with you in that moment and they do and look up and smile at God. Come on now.
