This week was a week of witnesses or experiences that reconfirmed to me that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true. First off, I will talk about Ernest. Ernest is progressing so well. We have been teaching him a lot about the Book of Mormon and how important it is to gain a testimony of it through prayer. When we met with him the second time this week, he got his answer that the Book of Mormon is true. He told us that he felt good and that he was understanding what he was reading. He also told us he would run away from us if he didn't think it was true. He came to church on Sunday. The only thing that will slow his progress is legal marriage but I am sure if this is what he truly desires he will make it happen.
Do you remember cute Tadiwa? He is amazing. He struggles with English but he doesn't let that get in his way. We were around his home one day and decided to stop in on him. We asked him if he read and found out if the Book of Mormon is true. He said he did. He said he felt good and knew it was true. I love it when people recognize the spirit and act on it. Tadiwa brought two of his friends to church yesterday. He is already being a great missionary. He definitely has been prepared by the Lord to enter His fold.
One of our recent converts Tawanda who was baptized a little over a month ago received the Priesthood. We didn't know this till we saw him pass the sacrament. It was so good to see our recent converts progressing and making the gospel a part of their lives.
A couple quotes I cherished during studies:
"We need to get the gospel from our heads to our hearts." Sister Oscarson
"Repentance is not optional for salvation; it is a commandment of God." Bible Dictionary
"Individual worth: like a flower, each person is precious, no matter how or when they bloom." Unknown
I love this gospel. I know it is true with all my heart because of the glorious Book of Mormon. Repentance is so vital to our salvation. It helps us to be able to become clean and a better person. We are all special and we all have different strengths. Be patient with others and yourself on the road to discipleship.
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!!!!
Sister Arbon
