Week Forty-six!
Well this week I had a little cold so it was a little bit
slower. We are getting ready for
Christmas here in Huánuco, it’s starting to feel a bit more like Christmas with
the rain coming. This week was
interesting because they had a reelection so we didn't have church last Sunday,
which made this Sunday fast and testimony.
And I was thinking a lot about testimonies this week because we
are working with some members who are still trying to find theirs. Listening in this testimony meeting we think
it begins with what is a testimony because a lot of times we feel the need to
tell a story of a blessing we saw or thank the world for all of the good
things they have but in the mission I have come to see that a few simple
"I know’s” are good enough and that you don’t need big discussion’s
because the spirit will fill them in on the rest and that sometimes the
simplest testimonies are the most powerful and that is all we need.
We got in on the "El es el Dádiva¨ act that is a worldwide
message and it is something beautiful that we have. We have the opportunity to share this video
with everyone we talk to and I was a little surprised because I thought it was
like the other new bible videos that we have from the church but it isn't and I
was a little taken aback at first. Like why
would we use this in a lesson? But it
gets the message across perfectly and every time we share the message the
spirit is so strong. We can testify to
every person who is worried about this holiday season, or who is lost in the
gifts and activities, that yeah this stuff is great but we have a better gift and
that is why we are here, why we celebrate Christmas, to find the gift, to
accept the gift and to share the gift.
Happy Almost Christmas,
Love
