Miracles

It´s true!  we are all children of a God who loves us so much!!

 

Mom, this week i was thinking so much about your questions and want to share what happened. This whole week, we were trying to get a hold of this young man, Miguel, who was baptized here last transfer. He is 18. Last sunday, we asked him to help us in a lesson with Dino, the brother of Elma, and son of Emanuel. (Dino was baptized this week!! on elma´s birthday!!!!)

And so, we were talking to Miguel after church and he said, he didn´t feel spiritually ready to help us. We thought, uh oh, did something really wrong happen? he didn´t want to talk about it in the moment so we tried to set up an appointment with him during the week, but it never worked. he wasnt answering our calls all week, it was unusual. Wethought something was really wrong. Finally, we got to meet with him saturday night. He explained to us that really he just has been feeling down lately, like he doesn´t have that much faith and he is going through lots of decisions about what he is going to do in life right now, mission navy, futbol, etc.  We just testified that he is a son of God, the son of a king, and that so many times in our lives we see ourselves as unworthy creatures to receive any of the blessings that He has prepared for us. During that lesson i realized that really all these people that we teach have so much potential and we need to help them see themselves the way that God sees us!!

 

This week, we saw miracles as Dino entered the waters of baptism!  Families that is what it is all about!!

 

2 Nephi 31:18-21

 18 And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son, unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive.

 19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.

 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a ^clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and ^dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

 21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.

Love,

Irma Michael
