It was an awesome week! Even though Elder Sanderson was not feeling well this week.
Mainly it was awesome from seeing Jeff come to church. We had a member scheduled to come out with us on Thursday and the day of we scheduled a lesson with Jeff that night. Bro Eaton a new member that just moved in is great! As we taught Jeff we could feel the spirit. We had planned to talk about the Plan of Salvation, but changed as we were in the lesson. The thought came to mind in the lesson to ask Jeff about setting a baptism date. Then We found the opportunity to ask it. From that even though we changed the course of the lesson we ended covering points of the Plan of Salvation while addressing concerns. He has a baptism date for March 8th which may change because he is going in to surgery. We invited him to church and without needing to ask, Bro Eaton offered to take him to church! Many members came up to him by the end of church and introduced themselves. After gospel principles he quickly got up, walked over and Hugged Ed smith, Our ward mission leader. This was no coincident! Bro Smith and him had served on a rescue squad 15 years ago and have not seen each since. THE MYSTERIOUS ways that GOD WORKS!
This week has truly been filled with the spirit! I have really begun to see the purpose of prayer in my life . When we have a purpose we are aiming for something! When I use purpose I mean to direct it towards meaning to life. When we have a purpose to life we aim to become something better. To become something better we Develop Attributes of Christ.
I have truly found this through Experiences of the week. When I Study the scriptures each morning I learn about who Jesus Christ is. As I read the Book of Mormon I learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When I read the New Testament I learn of Christ's life and examples of Attributes of Christ and how to apply them. When we have an example of righteousness in our lives we are able to see the blessing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My example has been those I have been around Growing up. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!
HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK! LOVE YOU.
