Dear People of Earth,
We´re now entering in the last week of the transfer and
today I make 20 months in the mision. Wow, it flies so fast!
Yesterday night we went to
follow up with a new family we´re teaching. We arrived at our marked
appointment to find their home locked up. Nobody was home. We proceded with our
follow up plan, when oddly enough, we felt inspired to enter the neighborhood
Seventh Day Adventist Church. When we entered, we were well received, given
water cups, greeted with big smiles and given a place to sit. We
watched broadcast that they were having. Afterwards, they made a special
announcement thanking for our presence. When they prayed at the end, they
prayed for us. It was a marvellous experience. We discovered that many of our
investigators are from this Church. They were so happy to see us there. Almost
all of them said they would come visit our church as well and we many of them
asked for visits. It was such a unique and wonderful experience for us.
This week I decided to share
what is now one of my favorite scriptures. Our Mission President always shares
it with us. When he speaks this scripture, it´s as if we´re in an ocean of the
spirit as that wonderful calm feeling washes over us.
Helaman 10
4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou
hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the
word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared
them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep
my commandments.
5 And now, because thou hast done this with such
unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty
in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be
done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is
contrary to my will.
Love,
Elder Engle
