Mom
So i will be Skyping on Christmas day!! We have several options of where we can go. What time would be best for y'all?
Well, this week was awesome like always. I don't know why, but
people just keep falling into our laps. For example, this week we come to church
and we are there saying hi to all the members when a member comes up to us and
says elders this is my grandson he has never stepped foot into the church
before. His mom, my daughter, sent me to bring him to the chapel so y'all could
give him a blessing of comfort. His mom is a member and she is less
active and isn't comfortable to come yet, but she wants y'all to give him a
blessing. So of course we did. Before we gave the blessing we asked what the
problem was and the grandpa said he's super nervous and randomly he will just
freeze up and cry. The little kid says its because he's seeing shadows and spirits
in their house. S,o we get the idea hey we could go dedicate the house for this
less active lady. So she lets us in and we do the dedication prayer. Afterwards
we are just talking to her about everything and she starts crying, and we ask what
is wrong. She said nothing she was just so grateful that the missionaries would
come and visit her and she wants to come back to church but doesn't know how. So
we will start teaching this sister because of the faith she had in the
priesthood to help her son. We also ended up giving her a blessing too.
Another story
So we are teaching this guy who has received the lessons
before from missionaries. He wants to get baptized but he feels something is
holding him back. We go through the baptismal interview questions with him because he also asked about that what they were and all that stuff. He gets to
the part about knowing that Joseph Smith was a prophet and he says that's my
problem. I have doubts about that. So we pull out the Book of Mormon and tell
him this is the evidence of Joesph Smith and read Moroni 10:3-5 then he looks
at another verse where it says that Moroni will be at the judgement bar and God
will say didn't I send this man and his writings as a voice crying from the
dust. He read that and in that moment he said elders I want to get baptized; who
do i need to talk to.
There are miracles happening all around us. We just have to be
prepared to see them. Keep up the work of salvation y'all can do it.
Love
Elder Kotter
