So this week has been much different, but emotionally a mixed bag. We've seen some amazing miracles, but we've also seen some terrible rejection. We have one investigator who is preparing super quickly to be baptized, and we have a few others who are also progressing and building faith.
There are a lot of things that impede our progress, and the biggest is the lack of personal freedom that is taken from us through things outside of our control. I hope you are all doing well and that you can see miracles in your life. Keep praying, I know they will come.
So, After an awesome week following a hard week, I've had another trying week. Things seem to work that way. We have a few really solid investigators right now, but we also have some that are going through difficulties in finding faith and keeping that faith that they have already found. They claim to have experiences, they're not sure what they're feeling, and they're not sure if it's coming from God. Unfortunately, no amount of testifying, no amount of smiles and warm greetings can substitute for that foundational belief of faith. The only way to gain that faith is through action, through calling upon God, keeping His commandments, reading His scripture. Without doing these fundemental things with patience and forebearance, it is impossible to gain a solid faith in God. If you are currently struggling with your faith, seek God and you will find him. I promise you will.
