Mauri Everyone! This week was an all around pretty wholesome week if I might say. There were some good laughs shared and some awesome spirit filled lessons. Let's just jump right into the week:
We are slowly opening more and more out here in the good ol state of New York (as missionaries at least). We just got allowed to be able to go stop by people's house that we haven't been able to get in contact with without having an existing appointment set up. That has been pretty fun. You've got to love the good ol' door slam haha. I haven't had to many door slammed on me in my mission so far because my last mission didn't really have doors to knock on haha and we have been inside for the other majority of my time here so far. There's just something about someone closing the door on you that just gets you laughing haha or maybe that's just me. But we were able to stop by this less active part member families house on Friday night and they are the coolest people.
We haven't been able to get in contact with them since I have been in this area so it was a huge blessing that we got opened up enough to be able to go stop by their house. The wife is a member but her husband and her daughter are not. Her daughter is 11 and wants to get baptized and her husband is super supportive of everything she wants to do in the church. We got to know the wife pretty well because her husband wasn't home from work yet and her daughter was elsewhere as well. We had a nice hour long conversation with her and she told us that we need to come back again which was awesome to hear. Definitely a little miracle right there.
Here is an awesome Scripture that I was studying this week. Moroni 7: 29, "...My beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men."
I have met so many people who believe that the heavens are sealed and revelation and miracles have stopped in our day. I have never understood why that is a belief because those people also believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Well if the heavens are closed but God is unchangeable, that would make God not a God because he would be changing. If God is unchangeable that would mean that Revelation continues, that there are still living prophets on this earth and that he still Loves us! It definitely super comforting to know that he is still continuing to guide us!
That was the week folks! Remember to keep on smiling!
