He is now the financial clerk for the mission.
So
yesterday we left will some cool guys, Jiorgio and Tito. I stayed with Jiorgio,
he is 17 and speaks fleuent english. He did a foreign exchange in Colorado! It
was so cool. So Elder Eggers and I had only planned for one set of appointments
instead of two for two companionships. Elder Eggers and Tito went to our
appoinments and Jiorgio and i just though, "lets find some middle class
homes and go tracting". We went and we got to a certain part of the area
and Jiorgio said, "I think that i remember a couple that the missionaries
used to visit here." I was so excited to go and try it out. We went there
and the couple did not live there, but there was an 18 year old girl that ran
to us at the door with a huge smile. We said we were missionaries and that we
had a message about Jesus Christ. She then said that she was a less active
member and said that her dad was in the house if we wanted to enter. We entered
and talked to them about the Book of Mormon and Ether 12:27. Then here dad
had to leave so we went to finish the message with her in the street with. We
testified that we did not find her by accident and then she said that she
already knew that. ´She said that she was on the couch and feeling really sad
about a variety of things in her life when all the sudden she heard us clapping
at the gate. She went out and saw us and just felt like she had been
remembered. She started to testify of the love of our Heavenly Father. She bore
a great testimony, i meanshe had already been through the young womens program
of the church. She spoke and began recognize the love and need of Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ through her words. She started to cry as the spirit
testified to her of the truths that she so much wanted and needed to know and
feel. She committed to read the book of mormon and to return to church.
Her name is Carol!
I testify that revelation can come in many ways! This young man,
Jiorgio, doesnt even live in this ward but through prayer and and worthiness,
he remembered of that very house where we would find that person in need of our
help.
I testify that we are children of a Divine Father who loves us
and knows us and that makes Himself manifest unto us through His Spirit and His
faithful followers. He knew that Carol needed help and know how and when to
help. He loves me and knows me. He sees who i really am, even when i have a
difficult time seeing who i really am.
I testify of the power of prayer. It is direct communication
with heaven.
I testify of the power of the holy priesthood. We can be
strengthened and comforted through and by it. It makes and seals our covenants
with our Father. And without a doubt, it is the power of Son and Savior, Jesus
Christ, given to men to help all become more like Him and live with Them, the
Father and the Son, again.
Missionary work is His work.
I testify that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the
world. I testify that He paid our price, individually. I testify that there is
not a dark corner that He cannot enter and illuminate with pure light, if we
will be humble ourselves before Him. Humility includes honesty, sincerety,
simplicity, and obedience. I testify that He lives and activily looks to lift
us up off the ground! He is the Life and the Light of the World!!
I testify in His holy and sacred name, amen.
