Dear Family and Friends,
How is everyone’s summer
going? I am doing great here in Anthem - sharing our Heavenly Father’s Gospel
with his children. The weather was hot this week - it was in the 100s but
more humid with clouds. Over the weekend there were some thunderstorms which
Saturday night and Sunday it was raining most of the day but we were inside for
most of it because of studies, ward council, and church. This week was a
good week in teaching investigators and finding investigators. We had a great
lesson with Isaac, Sally, and their 3 kids on the Restoration, focusing on
families and how the gospel can strengthen their families as they live the
teaching of Christ. We gave a church tour to Ali and Jackie showing them
their classes and teaching them about the sacrament to help them feel
comfortable to come to church. We are struggling in trying to help our
investigators come to Church so we are going to teach them the importance of
the Sabbath day. We had a great lesson with a new investigator Lea that
some sisters in our ward have been helping her because she got into an accident
last year and is still recovering from it. We have to teach slow and
simple to help her understand the principles. Strong spirit as we taught
her that our Heavenly Father loves her and wants to help and guide her through
prayer. She is Jewish so we have to establish God’s plan and help her
understand Jesus Christ and his role in the plan. I had my first
exchange of transfer with Elder Burgoyne in his area. We mostly visited
members and potential investigators to setup appointments because 2 lessons
fell through. I had a great spiritual District Meeting on helping my District
make and keep commitments with our investigators by inviting, promise blessings,
bear testimony, and always following up on commitments to see if their keeping
the commitments to strengthen their Faith in Christ and repenting. It was
good to witness the baptism for Rebecca which Elder Ure and Farnsworth was
their investigator in our District. We were hoping to have Leslie and Beau
part member family attend but something came up. There was a strong
spirit there to see her get baptized by her father who is a recent convert.
We had a great Sabbath day with talks by high councilmen and the first high
councilmen talked about members – “Catching the Wave” in missionary
work. We also gave a lesson in Elders Quorum on Elder Nelsons talk on “Catching
the Wave” and how as members and missionaries work together we can help our Heavenly
Father’s children come unto him and enjoy the blessing of the Gospel.
Well, that was my great week here in Arizona doing the Lord’s work. I
hope you all are catching the wave and following the counsel of our prophets
and apostles on helping our family, friends, and neighbors to feel the spirit
and joy that comes from the Gospel. I know that this Gospel is true and
it was restored through Joseph Smith and we have a living prophet today, Thomas
S. Monson that continues to lead us back our Heavenly Father’s presence to have
immortality and eternal life. I testify that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
lives and loves us all. I love and miss you all. Take care and have
a great week.
Aloha,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
