Well this week has been fun. I have been finding more members in our area this week. Its been fun trying to strengthen our members because they need it.
I`m really having a hard time knowing what to talk about right now. It feels like the weeks are just flying by right now. I really love my new companion Elder Ortega. We are having a lot of fun. We are working hard together. he reminds me a lot of Richy. It almost feels like I`m hanging out with Richy all the time except we are doing missionary work.
All of our recent converts are doing well. Mohamed is staying on the east coast by one of his old mentors from the orphanage he grew up in and is helping teach him the missionary lessons right now. He got his phone back so we are able to stay in touch a little. We have begun teaching a young couple named Junior and Queenie. They have been going between West Minister (in our area) and Georgetown for school. The Georgetown Elder`s picked them up but handed them over to us since they will be over here on this side more often. They are very elect. They have been reading the Gospel Principles book that they got at church in Georgetown and when we visited they were asking us what they needed to do to have an eternal family. Queenie then told us how she keeps getting dreams that the church is true (very common source of revelation here). On Sunday they showed up to church very early. They beat everyone there and were waiting for someone to come to open the church. They are awesome and I`m hoping we can get them baptized before I go but we won`t rush it.
Love Elder Fisher
As missionaries we love the people we serve because of our faith. Because we know of God's love and our understanding of faith. We want to share this understanding of faith with everyone in our mission, Companion, and investigators. This is the definition of faith
ReplyDeleteto bless all your loved ones. Faith blesses our family, makes us good missionaries and allows to give our self the Happiness of understood faith and the eternal joy to share that fact and to share that truth with others.
"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers."
