If you haven't seen "He is the gift," WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is wonderful. This is the coolest thing ever. We have little cards to give to people and they help so much. There are so many people who are excited and want to learn more about Christ. Its also helped me to contact people easier, because every ones excited about Christmas and loves talking about it. But the real reason for CHRISTmas is the most important. Christ. Our savior. Not opnly his birth but all that he did and continues to do for us. I am so grateful for him and we should ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM. His love for YOU is beyond comprehension. Find him. Accept him. Turn to him. Remember him.
This week we had lots of cool experiences. Wed. we had 2 members with us, and we gave them each a card and asked if they would try to give it to someone. The first person we met was an athiest. He was not a happy person. ( I wouldn't be happy if I didn't know God exists and loves me too.) He didn't want to talk to us. so, they were a little sad. So, we tried again! the second was not a very happy person either. But we talked with him and shared what we believe. But then it turned into a lesson about the plan of salvation, which is ok. He also didn't really want to accept what we were talking about. So, we tried again!!! WOOO! We met this man. I think he might have been drunk, but he was really sad. He kept saying, "You}re wasting your time with me. Im worthless." We talked to him about Gods love and how he is a child of God. When we finally finished talking to him, he was happy and less in a panic. I know God loves him and everyone of his children. Including YOU. And he knows you personally.
Another story, we contacted another athiest. Well, he would fight against everything we would say and try to twist our words. I can honestly say I have never felt so confident in my life. I felt so much power flowing through my companion and I. Unfortunately my companion got a little frustrated and told him he was wasting his time so we were going to go. He said, "no, you are not wasting your time or mine. I'm learning. But if there was a God, why cant I see him and why don't you guys just show him to me." Well, I felt like a Book of Mormon moment and I just felt like he needed to be struck dumb, but I didn't because that's not nice. So, instead we testified of Gods love for him and how he needs to have faith. After we left, I told my companion I felt like striking him dumb, and she said she had felt the same. We missed our BooK of Mormon moment... Ha, but I think its for the better. One day he will know.
This Sunday, we went with one of our new investigators of Gold to the ward before ours because she works at the time ours is. (But shes working on changing that). Well, we have taught her twice. It was fast and testimony meeting and she had us write our names on a paper. So we did, then she got up and said she was going to bear her testimony. My companion and I looked at each other like "Oh dear, whats going to happen?!" Well, it was beautiful. She talked about how she is "Hungry for the gospel," how she knows her children will come with her and they will all be baptized. She talked about her 2 "angels" Hermana Prado and hermana EStengar "I don't know, its in English." It was precious and so special. Then we went to our ward! One of our very special investigator families finally came!!!!! It was a day where you just felt warm because these people were coming unto Christ and loving it.
That's what I will share for this week. It was a wonderful one! Speaking of one, I complete a year. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? Anyways, I love you all so very much!!!! Now go find Christ.
Love Hermana Stanger
