Sorry for not telling you that this week pday is on Tuesday! We had Elder C. Scott Grow come to our mission yesterday and taught us how to receive revelation. First we need to have faith, repent, pray always, and seek. The Lord doesn't give people answers to questions or prayers to those who aren't going to act on the answer that they get. Which is very humbling. Because sometimes as human beings we are always trying to find the easy way out of things (me in particular).
A lot of the time we aren't willing to make God's will, our will. Which makes perfect sense on why we see so many people who fall away from the church, or stop believing in God because they aren't getting the answer that they "want" to hear. So they don't act on it, and after going through that cycle the spirit departs and it becomes very hard to receive revelation. So when we are searching for an answer to something, we need to constantly be thinking, "Is this what I want? Or is this what Heavenly Father wants?" And act on the answer that we get. Anyways that's just some of the stuff that he taught us about.
This week was pretty good. Do you remember Gilberto from a couple weeks ago? We picked him back up. He got fired from his job! Miracles! Haha so now he can finally come to church and other activities. We also have another investigator right now named Eric. He is super solid. We have only taught him the restoration but he said that he would really give it a shot to come to know if everything is true. He was really nervous to set a baptismal date though. But we heard from some other missionaries that tried to contact him on the street last night and he said that he was meeting with us. So they brought up baptism and he said that he would when he knows more about our church. I don't know what that means but he also said that he was super excited to meet up with us again tomorrow. So we will see.
But I have to get going now. So I will talk to you all next week.
Love always,
Elder Miles
