Feb means 7 more fast Sundays

Bro. M is doing awesome! He'll be getting baptized soon! He's gone 6 days without smoking! Woot!! :) It's funny he told us when we began teaching him that he is the member in his family that was the rebel and didn't go to church or anything like the rest of his family. His mom would call him and he would always say this to get off the phone, "Mom, I'm learning about the Bible right now I'll call you back." Now that he really is learning about the Gospel with us and reading the Book of Mormon, his mom will call and he'll say, "Mom, I'm with the Hermanos right now I'll call you back." Then she just says,"Nonsense!" haha it's pretty silly. 

We had a Crazy Good Sabbath Yesterday! :) Elder Meza and I have been a little concerned about J our recent convert and of his testimony. Our jaws dropped yesterday when he got up and bore his testimony. He said he knew the church was true and that he was grateful for the restoration of the gospel. I couldn't help but smile! :) I love the Gospel! :D

 Elder M and I are really focusing on letting the Lord know our desires and telling him all that we will do to achieve our inspired goals. We'll be finding a lot this week. Our branch baptismal goal for the year is 10. We're at 7 and it's March. We want to change the goal, but the branch president who has been the president for 11 years has never seen the baptismal goal met. He wants us to meet the goal first. We're planning on shattering that goal real soon! :)

This week I learned that the Lord's desire for me is to do good. To be Me.. I love this scripture now in Doctrine and Covenants now, 58:27

"Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;"

 

I love that thought. I'm more anxious to share the gospel now, and now when I meet people I begin to teach and testify. The Atonement is incredible. His sacrifice touched every living thing. Imagine the majesty of the Savior, that His suffering touched the whole world, and every intelligence.
