Weekly Letter March 14th 2016
Hey guys; I hope everyone has had a great week.
This week we've been able to work with some great people here in Teculutan. We taught a lady named Brenda this week and she had a question about marriage and authority. We taught her about the restoration, especially about the restoration of priesthood authority and keys. We invited her to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and she said that she would do so because she wants to know if he really received the priesthood like he said he did. She says that if she gets an answer she'll be baptized on the twenty third of April. We taught her on Saturday and the next day she came to church.
We're also teaching a neat couple whose names are Blanca and Nelson. Nelson is 25 years old and Blanca is 41 and because of their age difference Blanca is embarrassed about getting married. However, we've been teaching her and she's been reading the Book Of Mormon and coming to church she's understood more and more about the importance of living the law of chastity. Yesterday she said she wants to get married to Nelson so they can be baptized on the ninth of April!
This week I'd like to share a quote I enjoy about temples. Of temples, Bruce C. Hafen says, "the temple is almost like something from outer space that's here on this planet where we're strangers to remind us of home. It's a place where earth and heaven meet and homesick children think of home."
I love Hymn #132 "God Is in His Holy Temple"
God is in his holy temple.
Earthly thoughts, be silent now.
While with rev'rence we assemble
And before his presence bow.
He is with us, now and ever,
When we call upon his name,
Aiding ev'ry good endeavor,
Guiding ev'ry upward aim.
God is in his holy temple,
in the pure and holy mind
In the rev'rent heart and simple,
In the soul from sin refined.
Banished them each base emotion;
Life us up, O Lord, to thee,
Let our souls, In pure devotion,
Temple for thy worship be.
I love you all, have a great week!
