HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST AND I'M GRATEFUL I GET TO CALL YOU MY MOM!!! As I was thinking about my mom and all that she does for me throughout this week and more specifically yesterday I was reminded about the 2000 strippling warriors.
Alma 56:47-48 yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them. And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
I love you mom and I'm grateful for all of the things that you have taught me and done for me. I can say for sure that I feel the same way that the 2000 strippling warriors did about their mothers and always hope to make you proud! You're the best mom I could've ever asked for!!!
We are teaching this lady named Sandra and we went to visit her cause thats what we do as missionaries, we teach people and visit them. So thats what we did and she in return invited us to a Bible class she was having the next day, so we said we could go. We show up right on time and WOW I am sure grateful for the true church of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for the environment we have, for the reverence, the love we share and the Spirit we are able to feel because we have the truth. It was a pretty wild experience! But while we were there one of our Recent Converts was there too! I was shook haha. We talked to him afterwards and he said don't worry I'm not attending that. He was just supporting his neice who is Sandra! The lady we are teaching! HAHA small world.
We had interviews with President this week! He is such a good guy. After our interviews we started talking about the next time he was gonna come to Green Bay and so we talked them into coming here for church and visiting our branch and another ward here! And he was even on his way yesterday but then turned around when he heard that church was cancelled! We were excited to have him! But I was definitely supposed to be here at this time with President Murphy!
We found this lady to start teaching this week... we were visiting a former person that was being taught and they ended up speaking English but pointed us to a random house and said go visit them and so we went there... her name is... Milagro!!! That means miracle haha. So we found a miracle this week! We find miracles all the time though its actually so cool to look for them because if you are looking for them then you'll find them. I can definitely tell the difference between those who are looking for the miracles and tender mercies in their lives vs those who aren't and can't see all that the Lord is doing for them.
I invite you all to look for those blessings, miracles, tender mercies in your life. If you do I promise you will have more joy in your life and your eyes will be opened to all thr Lord provides you with.
All of the talks given in sacrament meeting yesterday were about the temples that we have and the reason why we have them.
2 Samuel 7:5 - Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in.
We nave temples for the Lord to dwell in sp that we can feel of His presence there, learn more of Him and be guided in our lives. If it's been a while since you have been make the efforts to go to one this week. It is there so that we can help people who have passed on from this life to receive eternal life. It is also there for our benefit to feel the Spirit in our lives and to overcome the temptations, difficulties, sadnesses and wickedness in this life. I love this gospel and I love the power and authority that we have to have these holy temples. Make an effort to attend and be worthy to attend! If you do the Lord has promised to pour down blessings upon you.
DO GOOD, BE GOOD
Love,
Elder. T Ricks
