Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you all doing? I am doing great here in Anthem - doing the Lord's
work. This week was a great week even though we did not have too much
lessons. We had a great lesson this week with Lea preparing her for her
Baptism - we are reviewing the commandments with her. We taught her
about the Law of Tithing and she did not commit to living it so we told
her to pray about it, so that something we have been pondering on how to
help her gain a testimony about tithing. She came to church this
Sunday and loved it. She has been going through some trials and felt
the talks were geared just for her and gave her strength to get through
them. We also gave her a blessing to help her. We used a hearing aid
headset from the Library and she could hear the speakers perfectly. We
had a great Sacrament meeting with a Farewell talk by Elder Huband who
is going on his mission to Guatamala. We also had a High Councilman
that gave a wonderful talk on the Atonement and How Jesus Christ paid
for our sins and he can help us through our trials. A cool story that
happened last Saturday while we were walking around the apartment
complex a less active guy named Ian came up to us that just got out of
jail a few months ago and told us he wants to get his life straightened
up and wants to go back to church. So we met with him this week and
taught him about the Restoration of the Gospel and the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. It was so spiritual as we taught him about the Doctrine of
Christ and how he can be forgiven of his sins and if he repents and
lives the Gospel. He is 27 so we brought a member in our ward that goes
to the Single Wards and invited him to attend their meeting because he
wants to get involved in activities and he will enjoy the YSA (Young
Single Adult) more. A big focus that we have been working on is finding
new investigators through working with the members and talking to
everyone and asking them for refferals. A few of our investigators have
not been progressing because they have been so busy. I had a great
District Meeting this week on How important it is to rely on the Spirit
to guide us in everything we do and How important it is to listen to our
investigators and discern What they need to be taught according to
their needs. Online prosyleting has been going great in contacting
investigators, checking up on their commitments, sharing messages, and
having discussions with them. That was my great week here in the
mission field Sharing our Heavenly Father's Gospel with his children. I
know that this Gospel is true and through our Heavenly Father's plan we
can return to live with him and our families forever. The Gospel has
been Restored through Joseph Smith and we can continue to have the
fullness of the Gospel through a living prophet, Thomas S. Monson. I
testify that our Heavenly Father lives and loves us all. Jesus Christ
is our Savior that fulfilled the Atonement so we can be cleanse of our
sins as we live his Gospel and follow his Example. I am so grateful to
be a Representative of Jesus Christ and Preach his Gospel to all those
who are searching for the Truth. I love and miss you all. Take care
and have a fantastic week.
Love Always,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
