COME TO ME THAT I MAY HEAL YOU

dear everyone,

this week we had a really cool lesson with one of our new investigators, Ahmed. he is the muslim man we met last week. we were supposed to pass him off to the ysa elders, but they couldn`t make the appointment and asked us to go instead. again, he had a TON of questions so we ended up talking a lot about the plan of salvation and then taught him how to pray. he has a hard time praying in the name of Jesus Christ, but we testified to him that it works, so he said,"Alright I`m going to pray." and he did it right there! his prayer was awesome! and he commited  to do it again by himself! it was a miracle.

this week we went on a search for former investigators and it took us to lots of interesting people and areas. we met a really wonderful lady named marcelle who is from africa and told us we can come and teach her and her sister! we are excited for her.

this week sister perez and i have been talking a lot about the atonement in our companionship study. we both read in the Book of Mormon at different places and found scriptures that we really love to now use together.

Mosiah 3:19,

"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."

and 3 Néphi 9:13,

"O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?"

in both of these scriptures, Christ is asking us to come to Him. He is asking us to allow His sacrifice to change us and to heal us. isn`t that incredible?

i love you all! have a great week!

love,

sœur paine
