Week #4 - Salton City - San Bernardino, CA Mission
Hey everyone,
This week has been great! First we're had exchanges which was interesting since we had to do a lot of driving. Elder Richardson came down to Borrego to replace Elder Rodriguez for the day. However, we had a special experience with one of the people we're teaching. He called us saying he was having a bad day and that we wouldn't be able to come over to come over. Then my companion asked him if he wanted to witness a miracle. Here responded yes so we went over and gave him a powerful blessing and at the end he said that he realized that he needed to have more faith in God. It helped me see that all we need to do to see God's miracles is have faith and do His will. We can have miracles daily. They will not always be great miracles like the raising of the dead, but the power of God can be manifested everyday as long as we do His will.
We also had an earth shaking lesson. While we were teaching a guy, his wife asked are we having an earthquake? It was a very small one. But it was enough to make the overhead lights swing and the water in our water bottles vibrated. The lesson was really good, though. The man we were teaching had experienced the power of God in his life, loved the bible, and was humble enough to listen to our message about the Book of Mormon and read it.
As I have studied the scriptures deeply during these few week I have found that they plainly tell of the truth. They testify of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his restoration. The scriptures bring the spirit and often teach better than I ever could. When used and understood correctly they are a powerful tool of conversion. The most powerful and important scriptures are in the Book of Mormon which is why it is so important that we have a testimony of it.
Love you all!
