Quindee our YSA investigator is doing awesome, we are actually going snowshoeing with her and her boyfriend today haha I am super stoked.
basically this week was super solid but yesterday was the best day. We go to K2 (Kalispell second ward) then YSA we also cover Lakside branch but we go to the other two since lakeside is during K2 anyway we went to K2 and sacramemnt meeting was super good. it was all about missionary work. Elder Buntrock and I bore our testimonies and our WML spoke. I talked about no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing, I know this is the Lord's work, he is in charge and nothing will stop His work from progressing. ya'll already know I've seen it first hand where persecutions have raged, mobs combined, armies assembled, calumny defaming, but the truth of God is going forth boldly, nobly, and independent. Nothing can or will stop this work from progressing. Also shared my testimony about the field being white already to harvest and we can help harvest or watch. either way it is going to be done, but if we help we and our families will be blessed. Someone else speaking talked about two sister missionaries who were just put together, they were thousands of miles away from home yet they both backed each other up and were in sync and were able to testify of the truthfulness of the gospel. What a well oiled machine this work is, because it is so true, we have traveled far from our own homes to share a message to someone with someone both of whom we have never met before, yet we are able to help this person feel the Spirit.
Then we went to YSA and sacrament was equally awesome. The first lady spoke about failures, Lincoln, Ford, Eddison,Abinadi, and said we never know what kind of seeds we plant or how even though we might not think we are succeeding we just need to keep going and trying and do our best and it will pay off. Then someone from the High Council spoke, he spoke about his mission and how they had been tracting all day, and they almost left but decided to finish the street so they did and when they knocked on the door the guy was like wow you got here fast come in. turns out he thought they were the cops, but then the real cops showed up and investigated the burglary. The cops left but the missionaries were still there and talked to this dude. they came back and taught them and baptized them. This high counselor later finds our that this couple they baptized had kids who all went on missions, served in the stake presidency, got their parents baptized and all of these people have joined the church, and he didnt find this out until 20 years later.
It is awesome that our little part that we do can be magnified and affect thousands of people. We just need to not be afraid to do our part.
Then afterward we talked about the oath and covenant of the Priesthood and the reality and power it is. I am so grateful for the Priesthood power and that those who hold the priesthood are literally one in a million. and it is our duty to exercise that priesthood. We only have to do a few things at our end and Heavenly Father promises us so much and ultimately everything He has. Everything.
started off yesterday with listening to Praise to the Man(go listen to it) and ended it with reading the Book of Mormon with one of our investigators. I am so grateful to know that Joseph Smith resorted Jesus Christ's church back on the earth and that the power and authority to act in God's name (the priesthood) has been restored. This is definitely the Lord's work, nothing will stop it. He is in charge. He loves us and wants us to be happy, He wants all of God's children to be happy, to receive eternal life. The Book of Mormon testifies of the truthfulness of that through the plan of happiness. and I know the Book of Mormon is true, that is really is scripture and when we abide by it's precepts we can know our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
I love you and hope your new year has been great thus far.
Love,
Elder David Witt
