Happy half-week!! Once again, I
forgot to remind you all about the Saturday PDay. Ni modo!
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: I would like
to re-emphasize the need to make valiant decisions BEFORE seeing a sign from
God that it was the right choice.
In Alma 56:44-46, the army of
Helaman demonstrated great courage in choosing to face their enemies and defend
their country. It was only AFTER making the decision, back-tracking a fair
distance, and entering combat with the lamanites that God showed them a sign.
In verse 50, we see that Antipus and his army was about to fall be the sword -
Helaman’s 2000 stripling warriors arrived just in time to defend their brothers
and win the battle.
I’ve heard from many of you who are
making valiant decisions in your lives, whether it be in your studies, personal
lives, or in the choice to serve a mission. The funny thing is, in the mission,
time is like a movie in fast-forward, and it gives me such joy to watch as the
Lord blesses you for your faith and courage.
Keep consulting with the Lord in all
things!
-----------------------------------
I still haven’t received the news
about transfers, so that will be a surprise for next time! I imagine that I’m
staying here. President told me that the original plan was for me to come to
Kabah in January, but I came early because of special circumstances with the
previous zone leader.
This week, I had plenty of
adventures. We peacefully defended the faith against a rather contentious
Bible-basher (hint - we didn’t Bible-bash). We chose to obey a rather
"trivial" rule even in the face of scorn from members and were later
blessed by finding a WHOLE family that accepted a baptismal date in February.
We fixed some behavioral problems in the zone, and it total, the missionaries
of Kabah found 30 people to baptize next month!
I believe that our success can be
attributed to our focus in responding to first promptings of the Spirit. I can’t
tell you how many times this week I thought "that guy’s busy, I’ll leave
him alone", only to follow the Spirit and discover that (1) he was taught
by the missionaries before, (2) had attended church before, or (3) is a
less-active member that just moved in. God really does know better than we do
WHO He puts in our path.
And, our house is very clean, and it
makes me happy :D
Love,
Elder Carson
