Week 31 Preparing for Liftoff

Howdy folks, how was your week?

This week was: pretty good.

We had a little bit of a harder time finding people, especially towards the end of the week. Once nice highlight is we put people on date for baptism 3 days in a row, so basically we're Alma and Amulek .

However a reoccuring problem, and seems to be a trend for this area is that our friends that have baptism dates get discourage as the teaching process unfolds, particularly when we get to the part of the Word of Wisdom, or in otherwords drinking and smoking.

In fact, all but two of our dates have Word of Wisdom problems, and the last two we haven't talked about it yet. All have varied degrees and types of usage, of course, but just kind of interesting. We asked around if there was a member who could share their experience with a Word of Wisdom problem and the best we got are two inactive members who are, in fact, inactive. Why? Because of their Word of Wisdom problem. Oh Aeroporto.

What can we do when we see our friends, our family members struggling in a battle which the've been fighting for so long? At times with varying degrees of sucess and hope?

"Christ is A King. He Speaks for The Crown." He knows what can be promised. And the promises are firm. 

"As often as My People repent will I forgive them their trespasses"

As is so often taught in General Conference, as we are reminded this Easter Season, Christ is an artist of new beginnings, and second chances after second chances. He left the tomb and cross behind so that we can to. We can seek and plead for mercy, for ourselves and for our loved ones. And we can rejoice when it is given.

"Surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don’t expect it and often feel they don’t deserve it." 

Cristo Vive,
