Buenas tardes familia y amigos! Como estan todos?
As
the title explains, I will be staying here in Huauchi for the next
cycle! That means Ill be "killing" my companion Elder Zufelt, he
finishes his mission in June. We're excited to finish off strong and
find more people!
Nothing too special this
week, Ignasio who was supposed to be baptized this week unexpectedly had
to go to the city of Puebla for a surgery for his dad for a week.
Bummer. He should be coming back soon to continue with everything
though!
We are getting a little tired of 12
people telling us that they'll with no doubt be at the church services,
and then only 2-4 showing up. Its sadly something that happens to all
missionaries during the entire mission at least where we are. We love
when we find people who really keep their commitments, but its hard to
see people who really have potential but theyre not willing to keep
their word and do their part. We have some really cool references from a
convert that will be getting baptized in these weeks and we are still
looking for some cool people for June!
Thou
believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils
also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man,
that faith without works is dead?
I
love these words from James 2. The importance for us to be doers of the
word instead of just hearers is enormous. Many people here tell us that
they believe in God. The culture here is very centered in God. For
example always saying "God bless you" when saying goodbye. Or after
every phrase saying "Thanks to God". But many are missing out on great
blessing because they decided not to act on that faith. I hope we can
all strive to be doers of the word of God and make sure we act with the
faith we have. As we do so, we will see our testimonies grow immensely
and we will feel greater love from our Heavenly Father.
Que estén muy bien!
Elder Millard
