Manalo's Wedding
Manalo's Baptism
8/3/15
This
week was such a good one! We had an awesome Multi-Zones on Tuesday. The
highlight of it was a class that President Mullen gave on Becoming. It
had a big impact on me. He talked about becoming a true disciple of Jesus
Christ and what that entails. A big part of it goes along with the hymn
"I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go." We need to go where the Lord
wants us to go, say what the Lord wants us to say, and be who the Lord wants us
to be. Therefore, align our will with God's.
Something that we
talked about with this is that the greatest TEST in life is to obey God.
The greatest TASK in life is to learn the will of God and do it. And the
greatest COMMANDMENT in life is to love God.
I've been thinking a
lot about that this past week and the idea of loving God. As
Moroni 10:32 tells us, truly loving God requires all our might, mind
and strength. It's not something that we can give a half effort to. In
the words of President Mullen, "It's all-consuming and
all-encompassing." So what are we willing to do, what are we willing to
give us to truly love God with all of our heart, might, mind and
strength?
Anyways, we were also
able to attend the wedding of our investigator, Manolo this week! He is
absolutely awesome. He's quite an example of making changes in order to
know God, in order to truly love God. While the wedding this week was just a
civil wedding, done by our bishop, their end goal is to be sealed in the temple
a year from now.
And Manolo entered
into the waters of baptism on Sunday. It was such a nice service (we had
to move to the chapel because there were so many people there) and Manolo was
SO HAPPY afterwards. This is something that he's been working really hard
towards and I have no doubt that he's going to be a strong leader in the
church.
I'm so grateful that I
had the opportunity to be a part of teaching him and that I could learn from
his example. Missionary work is so great!
I love you all! I hope
you have an excellent week and are able to find ways that you can show your
love for God and others.
Les quiero
mucho,
Hermana Horne
