Anyway, this week I learned a lot. I`m trying to purify myself,
and really love and look at people how Christ does. I`m tellin` you, it`s not
easy! I don`t know how Christ does it. But Christ-like love is what I`m aiming
for. This week, we saw a lot of investigators fall..... don`t you hate it when
that happens? I remember back in the MTC my teachers told me one of the worst
feelings on the mission would be when you saw people taste and feel of the true
gospel, and then reject it. And it`s true! It really makes me sad. But, it just
makes me wanna go find some people who ARE willing to change their lives, and
follow Christ.
A few sweet investigators we found this week are grandchildren
of an old grandpa investigator. Quick story: about a month ago, I felt the
impression really strong to go help and teach this grandpa - his name is
Russell. Really strong impression. Anyway, he hasn`t ended up progressing very
much. I kept asking myself "why did I feel so strongly to help him if he never
progressed? What was The Lord`s intention there?" But I think we found out this
week when two of his grandchildren - Carlos, and Marìa, both asked us to start
teaching them and Carlos even came to church! He`s 16 and he thinks church is "cool". Man, it is hard to find
jovenes like that. Blessing from God and from following the promptings of The Spirit I think. Another investigator we have, Monica, is just waiting for her dad`s permission to be baptized, because she`s under 18. She wants to get baptized so bad! She`s totally ready too. Pray for her!
Love you all!!! Have a great week :)
Love,
Elder Steve Clarke
