Hello, hello! GREAT WEEK... like always :)
where to start...
LiLi: so we taught her The Plan of Salvation this week! LiLi is in her 20's and is married with a 4 year old and so we focused the most on eternal families! Families are not something Heavenly Father wants us to experience here in this life only! NO, He knows we are the most happy when we are with our families so He made it possible for families to last FOR ETERNITY! In Matthew, we learn that with the authority of God we can be bound to our families in this life, which binds us to them in heaven! What an amazing blessing that is! So we were teaching her about this amazing concept that she has never heard before and it has filled her with peace and happiness!
LiLi left all of her family back in China and really doesn't know if she will ever see them again in person, so the knowledge that she will for sure have the opportunity to be with them after this life was very overwhelming to her! She then accepted the invitation to be baptized and it was just awesome :) The gospel of Jesus Christ is awesome!
Also, we took Phoenix (the 8 year old) to a baptism on Saturday to see this 9 year old being baptized and right before it started we explained to him what the ordinance of baptism represented and told to pay attention to how he was feeling during the baptism because the Holy Ghost will tell his heart if it's right of not. So the talks began and then the boy was baptized and right as the boy came out of the water, Phoenix turned to us and said " I want to be baptized right now, I feel the Holy Ghost!"! Coolest thing ever! After the service we walked outside to meet his mom and we talked to her about setting a date and she said that she is interested in learning more!!!! She wasn't there for the baptism and never sits in when we're there, but she said that she is interested in learning about what makes her son so happy! (remember she is Buddhist) Gotta love it :)
The Gospel of Jesus Christ unifies us all!
"and it came to pass that there was no contention in the land because of the LOVE OF GOD which did dwell in the hearts of the people." 4th Nephi 1:15.
MOM! thank you soooo much for the new awesome camera! I'm so annoyed though my old one works!!! It did not work with my camera card at all and i asked them if I could use one of theirs at Best Buy to see if it would work and the worker assured me that it wouldn't! LAME! I can't believe my camera card is erased!!!! That makes me want to cry...literally, I can't believe it! I'm glad that I've been emailing pictures home to you, so at least we have some! You are awesome mama :) i love you!
It's supposed to be 110 today but it really doesn't matter! Heavenly Father loves us all so much and no unhallowed hand or HEAT can stop the work from progressing. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is Christ's church restored to the earth!
i love you all so much :)
love, sister martin
