Dear Family and Friends!
Thank
you soo much for your letters this week! One huge word I have been
thinking about lately has been Humility. Since pride is one of the most
deadly sins we must be humble. So I invite ya'll to ponder on this word
this upcoming week and seek to apply it.
Huge miracles
came this week though! So one day we were walking out of this apartment
complex called "The Panks" and we passed this lady. Not two seconds
later she stopped, and called us over and asked if we are 'the people
that pray'. We exclaimed yes and left a blessing with her. She exclaimed
after the blessing huge desires to get baptized and come to church.
This past week we taught her the law of chastity because she is living
with her boyfriend and found out that they want to get married, but
can't because they are both married to someone else who they haven't
been able to contact in years. So we left it at that and they came to
church on Sunday. Then we heard about the huge miracles that came into
their lives when we visited them yesterday! She exclaimed how amazing
they felt at church and how they have been imagining themselves getting
baptized since then. Also the day we taught her the law of chastity,
their spouses that they need to get divorced from called them and want
to get a divorce. They are coming this week! Huge miracles come as we
exercise our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and especially as we help
our investigators exercise their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
But my
father actually sent me a talk today and some things it talked about
struck me. It talked about how we need to teach with power and doctrine
especially to recent converts. It is extremely important that we study
the doctrines and as we do so we will see our attitudes and behaviors
change.
Well have an amazing week! Let's go baptize!
With Love,
Elder Pond
