Dear Family and Friends,
I
had a great week doing the Lord's work of Sharing his wonderful Gospel
with all those that I meet. The weather is really nice mostly in the
80's during the day and the nights are getting cold. We had some great
lessons this week. We had a lesson with a new investigator that has
been a potential investigator since I first got to Anthem. We stopped
by earlier this week to see if she has read the pamphlets we left with
her and she had lots of questions so we scheduled a time to come back
and teach her. I was on exchanges but Elder Cook taught her about the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and again on exchanges with Elder Farnsworth we
taught her about the Plan of Salvation. The spirit was so strong as we
taught her about how we go through trials to make us stronger and how
Jesus Christ fullfilled the Atonement for all of our sins. It was so
great when we helped her to recognize what she was feeling is the Holy
Ghost testifying to her the truthfulness of the Gospel. We also had 2
great lessons with Joseph on the Restoration of the Gospel and how he
can know it is true by reading the Book of Mormon and Praying about it.
We gave him a church tour and immediately when he entered the Chapel he
said he felt calm. We taught him about the Sacrament and how he can
remember Jesus Christ by worshiping him on Sundays by coming to church.
I had 2 great exchanges this week. On Wednesday, I was on exchanges
with Elder Burgoyne in his area and we mostly did member visits having
prayers and setting up lessons. On Saturday, I was on exchanges with
Elder Farnsworth in my area. We had some powerful lessons with Ian
reading the Book of Mormon and helping him to understand how he can
receive revelation by diligently reading it daily. We also had a
wonderful lesson with Cathy and got to attend the adult session of the
Stake Conference because the focus was on missionary work and
missionaries were invited to attend. There were some great talks from
recent converts & returning active on how the Gospel blessed their
lives. President & Sister Taylor also gave great talks on members
working with the missionaries and how in this digital age we can share
the Gospel online. President Taylor said that by February our mission
will be 1 of 50 missions to be fully equipped with Ipads and Iphones for
all missionary companionships. On Sunday, we had Stake Conference that
was transmitted over the internet to the Anthem Building. It was
working that well, it would play for 10 minutes then would have to
buffer again to start playing. Then an hour into the conference it
stopped and the Presiding High Councilman told everyone if they wanted
to watch the rest they would have to go to the Stake Center to listen to
Elder Lesure an Area Seventy who would be the concluding speaker. I am
so happy that my sister - Nikki entered the Temple to receive her own
endownments. I am so proud of her for making additional covenants with
God that will help her in her life and into Eternity. I hope it was a
spiritual experience for her and all those who supported her. That was
my great week in the mission field Sharing the Gospel. I cannot believe
that I got a few weeks left to be a servent of Jesus Christ. It is so
great to see how this Gospel can truly bless peoples lives. That was my
great week. Take care and have a great week. I love and miss you
all. You are in my prayers Always.
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
