| Zone Conference Tezontepec |
That´s how
some people answer the phone here. It´s pretty funny. A while back we had zone
meeting so here are some of the pictures that we took. I haven´t taken any
pictures lately because I have run out of interesting things to take pictures
of. We´ll see how this week goes!
This week was
a pretty good week. We have been going with Jaina, Wendy, and Ireneo who all
three are going to be baptized this next weekend. They all went to church on
Sunday and got to see the baptism of a member´s daughter so that was neat. They´re
all excited, and Wendy is a little nervous, but she´ll be okay. David and Nicte
are in the process of receiving their answer. They feel like it is true, but
they still don´t KNOW. Faith is not a perfect knowledge, but believing in
things that you can´t see but do exist. We are trying to explain that principle
to them. Also, Nicte is from a religion that doesn´t believe much in Christ. We
asked her the baptismal interview questions and she doesn´t know why everyone
says that Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the World. We have an appt
tonight and we are going to talk about that. Pray for her, please. They just
need that much more help to make it to the waters of baptism.
We have had a
hard time finding new, committed people to teach. There are LOTS of people, but
few who want to listen. There is a scripture in 3 Nephi 19:12 that tells us
that Christ chose people, prepared people, to be baptized. It is the same
today.
12 And he came up out of the
water and began to baptize. And he baptized all those whom Jesus had chosen.
13 And
it came to pass when they were all baptized and had come up out
of the water, the Holy Ghost did
fall upon them, and they were filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire.)
There are
chosen, or in D&C it says that 'mine elect'. There are people all around us
who are being prepared... it´s just the job of each of us to preach the gospel
and help them know Christ and come to the straight and narrow path.
I hope
everyone is reading conference talks. They are holy scripture for us in the
next 6 months, and even more. Keep doing the small and simple things and the
Lord will bless you!
Loves,
Elder Hill
