Revelation, Grace of God, Weaknesses

Jacob 4:7-8 "The Lord God Showeth us our weaknesses that we may know it is by his Grace and his great condescension unto the Children of Men that we have power to do these things 8. Behold great and marvelous are the works of the Lord, how unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of him; and it is impossible that a man should find out all his ways. And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him; wherefore, brethren, despise not the Revelations of God"

This week I learned a lot about what it means to really rely on the revelations of the Lord. Prayer is a powerful thing and there are a lot of things that we do not know and will not know for a long time. But revelation is such a wonderful thing and I loved this quote from James E. Faust, Communion with the Holy Spirit, that says "If worthy, we are entitled to receive revelation for ourselves, parents for their children, and members of the church in their callings. But the right of Revelation for others does not extend beyond our own stewardship"  As a missionary I am able to receive the revelation as to how best teach the people I am teaching within the standards and principals of the gospel. I am entitled to that as a missionary. The hard part is doing my part and asking for it. This week I had to try really hard to pray for the revelation necessary to help the missionary work progress further in this area. Through the Grace of God he decided to show me a lot of my weaknesses instead and really let me know that I can't do anything without him and his power. And after he let me see how really bad of a teacher I really am then he helped us out a ton. We have three people on date to get baptized this month and one of them is named Miguel. I am really excited for him. He is the best friend of Talito who is a new convert that drives everyone we are teaching to church every Sunday (Thank you Talito!!!!) This is Talito on the right and Miguel on the left. this is the night that Miguel accepted a baptismal date!! 

And update on Miyito who was baptized last week and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost this week but he received a lot of support from the ward and from one member in specific that I want to give a shout out to. Hermano Toro went out of his way to buy Miyito new clothes to wear to church. Miyito is a little slow and does not have the best living conditions and I have never seen such love from a ward before. Miyito and Hermano Toro are amazing friends now and when the scriptures talk about not having any poor among you I am going to think about Hermano Toro now and how to went out of his way to go visit this new member and make sure he felt like he was apart of the ward and looks like it too. 

We also found a Marcos Pizza in our city
