Light the World

Buen día familia! 

This week went super well! we are super excited with this focus that we have here in the mission with the Christmas season of Light the World! This week we had a lot of time to be in our own area and get to work. We found many people that we were able to teach. we were also able to do a lot of service, big or small, for the people in our area and we feel super good about what is happening right now! We had a super cool experience with that same family that brought their grandkid and friends to church, we were able to go visit them and we met a lady named Vicky who is the daughter of the Grandma. She has heard the missionaries for a long time, and we left her when i got here. But she came in and sat down and started asking a lot of questions, especially about her dad who had passed away. We were able to testify to her about the plan of salvation and how she could be with him forever and return to him if she follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is amazing to see how the plan that God has given to us can bring light to whatever situation we are going through. We are still working with her, but she said that she will start listening again. The Lord is blessing us every day :) I love this work.

love you all and hope you have a great week!

"Why Do We Fall Bruce?"

Hola todos!

This week was great as always! We are seeing many great things here in Cipo! We have a lot of great investigators that we are working with, we just are stuck on a few with one final step to help them be baptized! We have a lot that are there and ready they just need to take the decision! Its awesome :)

This week i have been learning a lot about how we must fall so that Christ can raise us up. That is why we had the fall of Adam, so that Christ could come in and pick us up. I love the scripture in 2 corinthians 12:9 (y 10) that talks about how the grace of Christ has its power in weakness. Or when we recognize that we have faults and need help, he is able to interpose and fill in the gap and make us into a better person. It is the only way to become like Him. We must fall, apply the atoning sacrifice of our Savior and He will lift us up. 

Like in Batman when Alfred asks bruce...¨why do we fall Bruce?¨.... ¨so we can pick ourselves back up.¨As we pick ourselves up in the Grace of Christ we will become more like Him.

Yes im still a nerd :)

Love you all! Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Stuart
