Hey Snowbirds!
Sounds like you all need a vacation to somewhere sunny.... sorry I can't help you there...don't really know where to point you... How's everybody been doing!? Things here really couldn't get any better but I know that they are so that's a good feelin! I just can't believe all the miracles that are goin down here Bonita....We've got people with dates to be baptized, people coming to church, new miracle investigators, all of our members are inviting their friends and that's been the real drive of all these miracles here.... probably 3/4 of the solid people that we're teaching right now are member referrals so that just goes to show you how crucial it is for everyone to work in the kingdom.... there's no way that we could do any of this without each other and things are just exploding now because we've put in that long term vision of the work and have been working with these members ever since I've got here...so can I take credit for any of this??? No but how blessed I am from Heavenly Father to be a part of it! When I got here things were...well actually they weren't ha nothing was going on but the miracles that God has been placing here is just unimaginable! How I love the work of the Lord!
We've actually this past week have had 3 members of the 70 come through here that I've met that's 4% of em! Only 96% more to go at least in the 1st quorum but Elder David Evans, Elder Lance Wickman, and Elder Robert Oaks came here and I had once again the BLESSING to here from 3 Special Witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ and how sweet it is to hear in person the words of men called of God. I just got the warmest feeling when I was listening a testimony that these men really are inspired just as the Prophets, the apostles, and the quorum of the 70 of old as when Christ was on the earth. The Gospel has truly be restored in its fullness and that's the message that we have to share is that it is here and it is ready to bless peoples live if they will just listen. Christ said many times during his mortal ministry "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." Pretty much meaning you better pay attention dummy because this is important! ha But that's whom we seek out the people that will "Harden not their hearts," all just listen it's really not that hard to do but people are so wrapped up in themselves and in the things of the world that they do not have "ears to hear." It's my pray that we all open not only our ears to hear but as well our hearts to feel and only when that happens is when the Spirit of the Lord will testify of the divine reality of this gospel. "Ask and it shall be given you;seek and ye shall find;knock and it shall be opened unto you." It's the invitation to us all and how blessed we will be if we accept it!
Much love,
Elder Ryan Lawter
