This week we had many teaching opportunities. We discussed several topics including The Gospel of Jesus Christ, Alma 32: Faith and Testimony, Family Prayer, Mormon Messages, and the Bible and the Book of Mormon. We are focusing a lot on families: investigator families and part-member families, and it's going very well.
We did a little service for one of our investigators cracking walnuts with him.
On Sunday, it was great to be at church. Brother Magda, from the High Council, came and spoke about reading the Book of Mormon. The stake and mission began a "Read the Book of Mormon!" Facebook page to encourage members to read from the Book of Mormon as a goal for this new year. In the second hour I visited the primary. A 7-year-old boy taught about the seven days of creation. At the end of the class we ate biscuits. It's good to go to primary! :)
We called a sister in the branch to be a translator for Elder and Sister Hick. I gave Géza the Aaronic priesthood and ordained him to the office of a priest. It was a nice and spiritual experience.
On Saturday, during my scripture study, I read James' first and second chapters. It is about faith and actions and I really liked this part:
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)
Service is the most important thing we can do as members and as Christians. On Friday, we watched the broadcast from President Monson's funeral and his focus was on serving and rescuing others. Let's all try, as often as we can, to look for ways to help others!
Lots of love,
Elder Gonzalez
