This week we have been trying to get a hold of our recent convert, Jasmine. She has gone down hill quite a bit, we can't write her on fb, call her, she won't really chat with texting and she won't come to church. It just makes me sad to she someone who has had big changes in their life and you could see the change in her, the light and everything and then it is almost like Satan trips them, grabs them by the leg and then starts running way with them!
we have been caroling as well around this time of the year with our district. President loves music so he encourages us to carol. And its was so great! A man stopped and just stood there and listened to us, a couple moments later he came back and stopped us saying, "I don't mean to disrupt you, but I didn't know Mormons believed in Jesus!" We told him we do and showed him the He is the Gift video. It was cool. He said this, "Religion is a way for man to reach out to God, and Christianity is Gods way to reach out to man."I LOVE that. I think it's interesting with this new "He is the Gift" thing the first presidency wants us to use. We aren't testifying of Joseph smith or the Book of Mormon, but we are testifying of Jesus Christ and what he has done for us.
I have faith it will help others gain a desire to learn more about the restoration as they see we do believe in Jesus Christ and all His glory.
Something I have noticed recently is that we are all learning, no matter how long we have been in the church, or how short. We all learn something new. The church is true, and the firmer our foundation the more complete the world becomes.
Elder. Bednar said, " When we follow the savior and his teachings, it will illuminate every aspect of our lives."
I know this is true, the gospel is light. Given to man by Gods son, so we may have ever lasting, hope, joy, peace and love for those around us.
I love you guys!! I hope you have a great week, merry Christmas!!!
Love, sister Tincher :)
