Year 2, Week 12

Hello my friends!!

LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: Continuing on the theme of "FRUIT", this week I was pondering how we can give good fruit in our lives. I found a good example of when Moroni makes the Title of Liberty. 

1) Alma 46:11 – Moroni feels the need to defend the church. BUT he doesn’t stop with his feelings. 
2) Alma 46:12 – Moroni makes a PLAN to solve an important problem. 
3) Alma 46:13,16 – Moroni prays and begs God to consecrate his plan. 
4) Alma 46:19 – Moroni EXECUTES his plan with complete faith, not doubting the power of God. 
5) Alma 46:20 – Moroni leads by inviting others intrepidly to follow the Lord and make COVENANTS. In this way, he wins their loyalty.

As we face problems and challenges in our lives, let’s avoid begging God to solve everything. Instead, let’s follow the example of Moroni and BRING our dreams to fruitfulness!!

I don’t have much time, but I’d like to let you all know that I’m HAPPIER THAN EVER here in Cancún! 

We’re teaching the grandkids of an active sister, who range from 12 to 15 years old. They have been taught many times, but Elder Walk and I were determined to give them a special impression. We planned a game to play with them that involved shouting like a Mariachi to explain the importance of following the prophet, and we EXECUTED the plan, trying not to doubt the power of God at all. The result was AWESOME - not only did the kids have a blast, but we attracted neighborhood kids with our Mariachi screams!!! 

Apparently it’s funny when a white guy screams VIVA MEXICO!!! 

I also had time this week to reflect on the life of President Monson. It is impressive to me how much loyalty the members here feel towards the deceased prophet. I saw many tears and heard many tender feelings expressed during Fast and Testimony meeting. 

Anyway... that’s all for this episode! Stay tuned, and READ YOUR SCRIPTURES!

Love, 

Elder Carson
