Work work work. Just do it. Hurrah for Israel! Etc. So ya,
it´s been another fantastic week here in Buenos Aires! finally, i´ve been able
to actually work in my own area for a whole week, and Elder Lucas and I are
getting along great. We´ve been focused on talking with a ton of people
in the street this week as always, and I don´t know what happened, but the
people have been really hard-hearted this week. It´s really required extra work
and extra prayers to share the Gospel and Books of mormon with those that we
could. As I´ve said before, I´ve really come to understand what Alma meant when
he said: 1 O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine
heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a
voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people! 2 Yea,
I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and
the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our
God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.
I wish that I could comunicate this message with the power
of an angel to make this people understand it. I honestly don´t have the
strength that this message deserves, and though I always plead for more
strength from the Lord, I can´t be perfect, I can just try and try to do my
best. As Alma said also: 3 But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my
wish; for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted
unto me.
The Lord has been merciful in the blessings that he´s
granted to me, and though I probably don´t deserve it, he keeps blessing. As
the Psalmist said: "For the Lord is great, and greatly to
be praised" We should be grateful that the Lord knows us, and
that he´s always willing to help us in all our labors and trials. I testlfy
that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World, and that this is his church. I
invite you all to dedicate yourselves time and time again to be his
disciples! As we dedicate ourselves to the Lord, we will find greater
happiness and light in a world that so desperately needs it.
I love you all, have a faith-filled week!
