Where can I even begin... Our God is so merciful and loving to us all! I feel so blessed and grateful! This week has been a great one! Elder Fragata and I have seen so many miracles and we are finding so many great people who are prepared to recieve the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The members are great here and support us so much and I can´t even begin to express the many blessings we have recieved! Truly the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest blessing anyone can recieve. It changes lives and brings such great happiness and peace! If you don´t feel satisfied, live the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Live what James tought as "Pure Religion" - "visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world" (James 1:27).
Elder W. Christopher Waddell tought, "Selfless service—forgetting ourselves, responding to the needs of others, and laying down our lives in their service—has always been a characteristic of disciples of Jesus Christ" (Pure Religion). This is exactly what God and Jesus Christ hope of us as we are instrements in thier hands and seek to "minister" as they have asked us to do. Jesus Christ gave us the perfect example of what it looks like to live "Pure Religion" and to minister.
"The Savior showed by example what it means to minister as He served out of love for His Father and for each person (see John 15:9–10). He loved, taught, prayed for, comforted, and blessed those around Him, inviting all to follow Him (see Mark 8:34). As Church members minister, they prayerfully seek to serve as He would—to "comfort those that stand in need of comfort," "watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them," "visit the house of each member," and help each become a true disciple of Jesus Christ (Mosiah 18:9; D&C 20:53, 51; see also John 13:35)" (What is "ministering").
I know that as we make a greater effort to minister and fallow the example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ our lifes will be filled with Joy and Peace! It is my hope and prayer that we can all become true desciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that one day we might return to his precense perfected and sanctified through his great sacrifice and saving grace!
I love you all! I know God lives and loves us! I know Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that Christ leads and guides his kingdom that we might all prepare for his second coming! I love you all!
