Dear Precious Gems of God,
If I could capture the main message of this week in one
statement it would be:
The Gospel Brings Miracles and As We Receive
Blessings of Experiences It Is Because The Lord Has Great Trust in Us To Do
Great Things In Those Special Experiences.
This week was just AMAZING! I have never felt so tired and
physically draining this week while receiving such great outpourings of the
spirit in our lessons and personal and companionship studies and finding so
many of his lost sheep. Not to mention the small to massive miracles this week
in between fitting in all the cracks.
IT IS THE GOSPEL THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO TRULY RECEIVE ALL
THAT THE FATHER HAS IN STORE FOR US!
I know that this week we saw that so much while we have been
working in a new area here in the Gypsy area. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE SO
MUCH!!! And this week the Lord blessed us with such chosen people. We were
walking back from a Lesson with our investigators in the Gypsy neighborhood and
a group of three women and their children were walking by us and asked why we
were here often in this neck of the woods. (We kind of stick out... a lot haha)
We told them who we were visiting and we were teaching lessons about Jesus
Christ. The next words that came out of their mouth were simply, "Why then
don't you come over to our house tomorrow." They then explained where they
lived and set a returning appointment.
I testify that the Lord truly is watching over his Children
and I know that he sent them to us to bring them closer to Christ.
The Next day we taught them about Prayer and The Book of
Mormon a little bit. These people have such a low education or no schooling sometimes, but
want to come to know their Savior more. As we taught them, the spirit that was
in this humble home was amazing. It was a constant peace.
As we were leaving the home Sister R told me later she
heard the voice of the spirit tell her as we said goodbye to them, "Take
Care of Them". As I write this now that I know that Lord spoke to my
companion of his true love and appreciation for these people.
Something that we both commented on was that we never had to
work to have the spirit in their home as we do their lessons. It is already
there.
I remember it was two nights later we felt we needed to show
the Restoration Dvd last minute change of plans in the lesson and it was a
sight to be seen. As a little background to this family: it a gypsy family of
all relations in one home. You name it - they have grandparents and in-laws and
sons and daughters and their spouses and their kids and their kids kids in the
home. So when we pulled out the dvd player and showed the Restoration, all the
kids and lot of the family huddled together to see it. Tears were brought to my
eyes at how tender these spirit were and are to know the truth from all
different ages.
I know that these people are very chosen and elect ones. I
know that there is something special about these people. Sister R and I
talked about this. Yes, the spirit is in their home and the Love of God is so
special there but there is something else there that is very special.
I know that the Lord has opened the door to a whole new
culture. It finally hit me this week that I was sent here to teach these people
and others as well and that this is just the beginning to bringing more souls
to Christ.
Remember the worth of Souls is great in the sight of God.
Love, Motra Bezas
