Well, it`s my birthday this Thursday. It`s really werid to think that I`ll be 22. I don`t feel like it, let alone, look like it. Just the other day I was called, "niño" -(boy) and "muchacho" -(kid) by two different people.
Well,my companion and I are going to have a baptism this General Conference in the Stake Center of Villa Alisa. His name is Gabriel and he will be the first to be a member in his family. We are going to work hard with him so that he will be ready.
Yesterday we were talking with a woman named Sonya who wants to be baptized but her husband is a drunk and won`t let her. He did let his kids get baptized though. ( we are going to have a family night with them this thursday, with their son who is not a member. he likes the church but has son problems to sort out.) Almost all of them are members. The parents and two of the children are not. It is sad to see someone to be a slave to something. Alcohol is a very effective tool down here. Satan doesn`t have to work hard with them because they are slaves to strong drink.
If there was only one thing that I have learned from all my time here. It would be how the Church is true. I`ve seen the fruits of all the others churches. One thing that is obvious in a lot of churches is they are not Christlike. How can a church proclam to be a church of Christ if the members are not christian, e.g. Christlike? We must develop the attributes that Christ has if we are to be heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven. Although there are alot of people doing good with their churches. It is not suficient. Because Christ , though a Prophet, restored His Church again in the Earth. The has always been one path to that which is there Salvation and all other paths to which are a sure damnation. Give heed to the words of the prophets. They are the ones that we need to learn from both in olden times and in these last days.
I know that the Church is the restored Church. And contains the knowledge for our Salvation. All we need to do is seek for it.
