Week 74 - "All right. I believe in miracles...I am a witness. God is a god of miracles. He was the same yesterday as He is today and will be tomorrow. He never changes."

December 31, 2014

All right. I believe in miracles. To those of you questioning or in doubt of this truth, just wait. Read this next letter. I am a witness. God is a god of miracles. He was the same yesterday as He is today and will be tomorrow. He never changes. He has the same commandments, advice and blessings as He had in the times of the Bible and His promises are constant. When we obey, we give our all, our best effort, even if it is the weakest or most pitiful offering, God sees it as proof of our faith. He knows how much we can give, He pushes us to our limits, and lets us choose. He has provided the rules to this life and the blessings of exaltation in the next if we follow those rules with exactitud [exactness]. He wants to bless us. He loves to see us happy and full of joy. I have several hundreds of experiences to back that fact.

After I had pushed the end button on Skype last week, the hardest button you will ever have to touch, I felt an odd sensation of peace. I knew that everything would be all right. I only have less than a month left, but I knew that God would help me to use that most delicious drop left in the glass for glorious and wonderful purposes. And this week has been a pure demonstration of that love He has for His servants. We decided to contact without the bikes this week. And because we opened our mouths, we let people know of the marvelous and incredible message we bring that families can be eternal, we found 4 new investigadors. We saw miracles. We were shown great and miraculous blessings we would have never found if not for obedience. We have been exactly obedient in these last weeks and we are now reaping the fruit. It may be one little fruit at a time, waiting for the bundle to ripen and mature in their own time, but we are seeing miracles. Portezuelo will one day be a great leader. I know that the people here have much potential and that we are just beginning to glimpse. Yasna, an investigador we have not been able to teach or enter her house, let us in and we taught her and the entire family. It was a beautiful experience to see the power of the Spirit acting through my comp and through them. We found a woman, Katherine and Fernanda her daughter, through contacting. Katherine started talking to us, after we had aloed at the gate [instead of knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell Chileans stand at the gate and said, "alo!" until the person comes out] several minutes, about her beliefs. It was incredible. Every belief she shared with us was aligned perfectly with the teachings of the Church. She doesn't go to any church because she doesn't feel comfortable in any she has found, but she loves God and knows she has a purpose here, even if she doesn't know what it may be. She is one of those lost sheep. She hears the Shepherd's voice, but doesn't know where it leads or where it is coming from. And we have found her just in time to help her enter into His field.

Misionaries may find contacting dificult and unproductive. But I testify of the reality of the miracles and blessings God gives to us through these amazing people we find through what seems like mere circumstance. He prepares His children through the trials they live so they will humble themselves and search Him. He loves everybody, even more the people on the streets. 'Blessed are the poor in spirit'. The special spirits are those hiding beneath the most detailed mask. All of us are pre-ordained. We each have a purpose nobody more can fulfill. We are all part of the body of Christ. He needs each of us. Don't judge somebody before you get to know them. Don't assume they don't need eternal blessings or they won't want to accept. Share with everybody. These gospel blessings are enough to abound in every heart willing to open them. God loves all His children, not a limited group. Live 2015 with a new purpose and new love for the people around you. Spread the love. Keep smiling. Be examples. I love you.
