I have no idea
what that means, but it seems like an appropriate title for a blog
written in between Christmas and New Year. I love this time of year,
and I wouldn't be anywhere else. I am unrepentant for having extended
the mission.
Elder Lopez and I found a man with his little girl walking as we
were on the way to the house to end the day. we just talked to him
quick and put a return visit.
On Sunday
he said that he read the whole pamphlet of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and everything seemed really positive. He doesn´t live with his wife,
but with his mom, sister, and little girl. We walked in and the first
thing I saw was a giant Maria with a candle lit, with many other
Catholic ornaments. But we challenged him to be baptized anyway. And
he accepted. and he accepted a date! He seemed to really understand
what we explained, and we´re excited to continue teaching him.
This week, we worked like normal on Christmas, and found a
great bunch of investigators. 23 to be exact. the spirit of the season
is the Spirit of Salvation. the Spirit of Christ. I testify that He
lives. That means more to me than it sounds like, for we hear those
words so often that at times they loose their meaning for us. But in
these last short weeks, I have tried to focus all of my study and
attention to the direct teachings of Christ Himself. I´m deeply
impressed by my feelings as I contemplate His clear and simple
declaration of divine Sonship. So many accept that claim today, but so
few are willing to follow His teachings, both modern and ancient.
I invite all to newly read, ponder and pray upon all of His
teachings, determining to repent and live all of them. That is the
covenant that we make in baptism. Many of us have made higher
covenants. Let us consecrate ourselves and our hearts and our whole
will to Him. I love Him, and I know that He is conscious of me, my
actions, and my desires. He is aware of my discipleship and is infinitely
patient as I work my way closer to Him.
