Machete not included

I have a coconut delivery guy!!! Later today I'm buying a machete. I need all those coconut nutrients.

This week was wonderful! I had two exchanges I worked with Sister Sales and my mission grandchild Sister DeGuzman! Yippee! 

I've been changing the way I teach a lot recently and really focusing on asking a lot of questions and finding their needs and what they really want and need to know and it's been amazing. Also really focusing on helping people understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ where they are with their faith and repentance and what they need to do next to keep progressing. People have been opening up to us so much more and I've felt a lot more free to just teach from the heart instead of just following a lesson plan. Lately we've been asking people if they have any questions in their lives that haven't been answered yet and we've been able to answer ALL with the Book of Mormon it's been really magical. Some examples

• When will the money come? - Jacob 2:18-19, Alma 32: 12-13

• Why is there so much sadness in the world?- Alma 41: 5 &10, Mormon 2:12-13

• Why do we make the same mistakes over and over?-  Ether 12:27

• Why does my family fight?- 2 Nephi  2:27

• How can I access Christ's help?- Alma 7:11-15

• What is my real purpose here on earth? 2 Nephi 2:25, Mosiah 4:6-8, Alma 34:32, 3 Nephi 27:16 & 20 

There's tons more but my testimony of so many things has grown from this:

1. The Book of Mormon can answer ALL questions of the soul

2. When we do our job and study the Holy Ghost WILL bring to our remembrance the right words in the right time

3. Heavenly Father is preparing his children everywhere to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ 

4. We can have confidence in the promise that if we follow the Spirit and Open Our Mouths they will be filled and we can be as Nephi of old (Doctrine & Covenants 33: 7-10)

Also we've been teaching the Plan of Salvation a ton lately especially in first lessons because that's what the majority of the people have questions about. Another truth found in the Book of Mormon : Alma 12:32 Therefore God gave unto them commandments, after having made known unto them the Plan of Redemption. 

 

So many more people have been willing to have a second meeting and do our invitations after they've heard the Plan of Salvation or had their questions of the soul answered from the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is so cool. 

We've been seeing so many miracles in our area lately. This Sunday we had 13 people at church! We were pretty floored and so grateful. All our part member families are going strong and are set for baptism on August 3rd! Yippee again!! 

Also my man Jeffery aka pass along card miracle guy came to church!! And accepted a baptism date for the end of September. He is paying so much attention to the light of Christ. I love something it says in Preach My Gospel that reminds me of Jeffery. 

 

 “The light of Christ should not be confused with the personage of the Holy Ghost, for the light of Christ is not a personage at all. Its influence is preliminary to and preparatory to one’s receiving the Holy Ghost. The light of Christ will lead the honest soul who ‘hearkeneth to the voice’ to find the true gospel and the true Church and thereby receive the Holy Ghost” 

He is definitely hearkening to the voice! Also Alma 5: 38 Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you; yea, and in his own name he doth call you, which is the name of Christ; and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd, to the name by which ye are called, behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

Christ knows His sheep and they are numbered and when we're doing what we need to be doing He'll lead us to them. 

This is probably long enough. I love you all. "Bless up & God Bless"
