Hey FAN CLUB. This week has been very rainy and very cold.
But you know, the work has been moving forward at a rapid rate compared
to the week of Thanksgiving! I am so grateful to be here in Sutherlin
doing the work!
This week we went tracting and I was like “oh we should go tract those apartments!” And Sister Nielsen was like, “Oh my last companion said those have been tracted like a million times.” Me: “okay, lets do it for a million and one times!” We went and tracted those apartments and we have 2 new investigators now! This week we have been trying to use the Light the World video as most of our finding techniques. It is funny how when people see us that they aren’t really interested but when we tell them that we are sharing a quick 2 minute video about Jesus Christ and Christmas that they are suddenly willing to listen. But it has been amazing to see the hearts of people change as they watch people serving others during the Christmas Season. I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
We had a lesson this week with our on date for baptism investigator, Heather. It was my first time meeting with her and the spirit was so strong! So Heather was introduced to the Church because her son attends Boy Scouts. Well they invited her to come to the Halloween Party and while she was there she was introduced to the Bishop. She ended up talking to the Bishop for a long time about things that were going through her life and she really didn’t know why she felt like she could just talk to someone about the things she was talking about, especially because she had just met him. As we were talking about that experience she just wanted to know what made her feel that she could open up. We started talking about the Spirit and the peace that comes through the Spirit and the comfort that we can feel. We were reading in the Book of Mormon a couple of scriptures and the scripture that really stood out to her was Moroni 7 verses 13 & 16. She sat there and really thought about those scriptures and turned to us and said, “so all the good things are from God, I feel like all the things we have talked about are good.” It was such a cool experience! The spirit was strong and I think that she is on the right tract to be baptized on January 27th!
We had a really cool experience this week with Ken! He has a really good fellow shipper. He has been life long friends with these members and so they have come to almost every lesson that missionaries have had with him. So this week Sister Nielsen and I decided that we were going to commit him to Baptism. He has talked about how he really does want to get baptized and so we were going to put him on date. We read 3 Nephi 11 with him, the chapter that the Savior appears to the people in the Americas. As we read through we invited him to picture himself as Nephi in the story. The spirit was so strong and at the end it talks about the doctrine of Christ. It talked a lot about baptism, we could tell Ken was thinking and so we gave him a minute and then asked him what he was thinking. He said, “I want to get baptized!” WHAT. Okay, so we invited him to be baptized on December 30th and he accepted! That means Ken needs to be living the Word of Wisdom and coming to church by THIS WEEK. So please everyone pray for Ken! He is so awesome and really wants this, he needs all the prayers that he can get!
In 3 Nephi chapter 8 verses 20-23 we read:
“And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land... And there could be no LIGHT, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches... And there was not any LIGHT seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars... And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days...”
6 years before Christ was born Samuel the Lamanite, in the Book of Mormon, told the sign of Christ’s death would be 3 days of darkness over the land. We read how that prophecy was fulfilled and much destructions happened in that period of time.
In 3 Nephi chapter 11 verse 11 Christ says:
“And behold, I am the LIGHT and the life of the world..”
During the 3 days after Christ was killed there was darkness, but when he came again there was LIGHT! This is the time of year to remember Him and to remember the LIGHT that he has brought into our lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made this video to help us show how we can share that LIGHT with the people around us, in 25 ways and in 25 days!
