This week was fun but it just got better with the news that
Tiger Woods just had a nice “W” this week at the Tour Championship! Talk about a COME BACK! If you ever want to compare a sports topic to
the Gospel, talk about Tiger Woods! Repentance and coming back!
REDEMPTION!!
Like I said this week was cool! My companion and I went to
Bolgatanga this week. Right when we got out of the car in Bolga, some guy
yelled Elders and ran up to us. This guy
said his name is "Elder Billy" and "Apostle Billy." He
asked us for “the PEARL." He kept asking if we sell “the pearl” but we had
no idea what he was talking about. Then he made mention of the Pearl of Great Price
hahaha! We said that we didn’t have one
with us. Then he asked if we sell the
Book of Mormon and we didn't have any at the time. We came to find out that
this guy, Billy, has been baptized a member of the Church for quite some time. He had a powerful testimony but has since gone
down hill. Also, we had a guy ask me a
funny question. He said, "Do you
worship Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus of Latter-Day Saints?!" I told him the
answer!
We were able to still have some time in our area this week. We only found a few people but we did find a Muslim
lady named Ayarna. She is very very cool
and very open. She married a Christian
and use to be a Christian herself. We
taught her the Plan of Salvation and focused more on what she needs to do in
this life to receive a place in the highest degree of glory. We read Helaman 14 when Samuel is prophesying
about Christ. She was hit. She knows what she needs to do now! It was
cool for her to read the Book of Mormon and understand it clearly and think
about what she actually needs to do!
I was thinking a lot about the Holy Ghost this week. Also just
having the Spirit with us. I was reading in Ether about how when the Spirit
ceased to strive with the Jaredites. What happened within 10 verses after that?
GONE. No more Jaredites. It is perfectly
explained in the Book of Mormon. In 2
Nephi 26:11, we get a perfect explanation when the Spirit ceases to strive with
men, then comes a speedy destruction. My
advice this week is to read President Nelsons recent talk about Revelation. Apply it! Do all you can to have the Holy Ghost.
Congrats to
Tiger Again. Truly inspired me.......... Love you all!
