SO this week......well I got to talk with the family for
starters. It was another awesome experience and that I could share the gospel a
little bit with my own family. It's an amazing feeling when you do it! You can
truly feel the love and the powerful spirit there. That is what the Lord hopes
of us that we have a happy family and that we use and share the gospel with
each other.
This week we will be having another baptism! His name is Himeldo.
He's an 18 year old guy. It's been awesome to work with him because he had lots
of problems.....he had problems with the word of wisdom and the law of chastity
but as he listened to us and saw the change in his younger siblings, who were
baptized with us 3 weeks ago, he also felt the need to change. SO.... he's done just
that and is all ready for his baptism this Sunday. As I have been able to work
with this family I have truly been able to see the blessings of the gospel. The
changes it can and will make in the lives of others.
I plead that we can always
be ready to share the gospel and that we never have the fear to do it. The need
of sharing the gospel only gets bigger everyday. Please do it and the Lord will
bless you and you will feel the joy that I have been able to feel. We are also
working hard to find new people. We have some families right now that my
companion and I have felt are super ready for the gospel but they are having a
hard time living it. We are doing our best to help them out and that they can
see and feel the blessings. We will see what happens in the week with them.
Just gotta keep working to find more people.
I love this work. It is truly the
work of the Lord. And it isn't just for missionaries. I have the privilege of
being a full time missionary BUT, as a member you can have just as much of an
influence as a full time missionary or even more. The missionaries need help, to
be honest. They need help finding people to teach. The job as members of the
church is to find people for the missionaries to teach and if needed to offer
your home or go on visits with the missionaries. Please do your part and the Lord will help you find someone that will accept the gospel. I love you guys
and know that we have a big responsibility of sharing the gospel please do it!
Love,
Elder Hakes
