Elder Loveless' Christmas shrine |
Well we are all so grateful that Elder Goodfellow was healed
this last week. It was so amazing. It was so hard to see him thinking of the
fact that he almost had to go home. It was late Thursday night when I was
staying with him and we were getting ready to make Pão de queijo (cheese bread)
and he said, "Man I'm feeling really good. Like this is scary. I've not
felt this good in a long time." At that moment we both agreed to say a
prayer and I know that not only our prayers but the prayers of so many have been
answered. There truly is a power in prayer and fasting. I know that God truly
looks after those who love him and who he loves. Our Dear Father ALWAYS hears
the prayers of the righteous!
I read in Moses 7:53, I am Messiah, the King of Zion, the
Rock of Heaven, which is broad as eternity; whoso cometh in at the gate and
climbeth up by me shall never fall; wherefore, blessed are they of whom I have
spoken, for they shall come forth with songs of everlasting joy.
I love how it says and "whoso cometh in at the gate and
climbeth up by ME shall never fall." Well it truly was a great blessing to
see that take place this last week watching him and so many others climb up by
Him. I know that as we always look unto Christ in all things and always try to "climb
up" and out of our trials miracles are wrought! And we glory in our
tribulations.

Rodolfo is progressing really well and is loving the gospel.
He is so amazing and shows so much faith!
We were blessed to see 6 less actives come back to church
yesterday and the father went and bore his testimony. It was so strong and the
spirit was so overwhelming. To see those who have fallen come back with their
heads held up and glorifying our father in heaven! I love doing less active
work. The feeling and the happiness that comes from seeing those who have been
lost or strayed from the path come back into activity is so beautiful and I’ve
never felt so much joy or love for others in my life! I love this work and I
love helping others come unto Christ both members, less actives and nonmembers
our calling is to bring souls to Him.
Love you all!
16 days 12 hours and 39 minutes till Christmas....at least
it is for me!
