Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you guys doing? How is everyone enjoying the last of their
summer? Well, I am doing Great here in Anthem doing the Lord's work.
The weather has been hot as usual but in the low 100s so it has not been
that bad. We had a pretty good week teaching this week. We had a
spiritually packed lesson with Joni this week on the Restoration using
Jenga to explain how Christ established his church, it was lost through
the great Apostasy, and restored through Joseph Smith. We finally
helped her to understand the need to be Baptized by the proper
Authority. We invited her to be baptized and she said she would when
she can because of her health. She knows the Gospel is true but we need
to help her gain a Testimony of the Book of Mormon. We also had 2
great lessons with Lea this week. Our first lesson we taught her about
the Christ Earthly Ministry, the Atonement and she was a little bit
confused of why Christ had to suffer for us so we tried to explain but
then it came to me that we need to teach the Plan of Salvation first
then she will understand it better. The 2nd lesson we had with her we
taught her about how Christ established his church then it was lost but
restored through Joseph Smith. We are teaching her very simply and she
is really starting to understand each principle. I had a great exchange
with Elder Okelberry in my area. We mostly visited members and setting
up appointments but after lunch we were heading out when we saw a
family moving into the apartemnt complex and offered to help so we
helped them. They appreciated our service and hopefully we can go back
and teach them the Gospel. We had a great zone meeting this week with
learning and teaching about Faith and helping our investigators to have
Faith in Christ. They also taught about Tightening up on our Obedience
that is in the White handbook that our mission has not been doing as
well as we could be. We got some exciting news on Wednesday that our
mission has been authorized by the Church Mission Department to be an
ONLINE PROSELYTING MISSION so we are ALL excited to be able to use the
internet to find, teach, contact, and share the Gospel with others
online. The zone leaders, assistants, and sister training leaders are
going to start learning about it and teach the rest of the mission in
our zone conferences later this month, so our mission will be all using
online proselyting by the end of this month. Everyone was excited at
zone meeting to be able to have this wonderful tool to Proclaim the
Gospel to all the world and be involved in the gathering of Israel. At
our training meeting followup on Thursday, President Taylor stressed
about the importance of us as trainers to be an example to the new
missionaries in Obedience. Our mission has to tighten up on even the
little things so that we can be Obedient when we do online Proselyting
of going on Facebook so we can be focused on our work and not distracted
with whats going on in the World. President Taylor has asked that
family and friends check out these links to help support us in the work
and not distract us.

I
am so privilege that I have an opportunity to use these wonderful
tools to help Share the Gospel and help others Come unto Christ in these
digital age. We will be able to go on the internet for 1 hour each day
and I am excited to see how much more effective it will be then
knocking doors. These are exciting times to be on a mission with
everything that has happened in the past year. The June 23 Broadcast
was the beginning of fulfilling prophecies in Matthew 24:14 - Preaching
the Gospel to all the World by using the Internet to reach People and
Countries where people cannot hear the wonderful Gospel of Jesus
Christ. I know that this Gospel is true and it has been Restored
through Joseph Smith. Our Heavenly Father lives and loves us ALL.
Jesus is the Christ and he atoned for all of us so we can return to live
with God. Take care and have a great week.
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
