CCM Miracles

Well What a week!!! This Sunday was incredible!! On Sundays every missionary in the CCM is required to prepare a talk. Then in sacrament meeting they call on four random people to give their talks. I was not called on to speak thank heavens! :) but Elder Belone was.

Elder Belone is a is North American Native Indian. He also has some problems that it makes it nearly impossible for him to do certain things, one of those things being learning another language. Belone was raised on Navhoo and English. but now he has been called to learn a third language and serve his mission in the middle of the Jungle of Peru.

He was called on to speak and he gave a whole talk in Spanish with hardly any notes and bore an amazing testimony. The Lord really can work amazing things through us. The crazy thing was. He knows less Spanish than EVERY person here at the CCM. He also blessed the Sacrament in Spanish. Later on Sunday I was called to be District Leader. I am happy to serve. Regardless of how crazy my district can be, I love them all. You can really tell that my district was organized by God.

Yesterday I watched a live devotional by Neil L. Andersen speaking to the Provo MTC. What an incredible man. You never know how funny and how incredible an Apostle is until you get to hear him speak to the missionaries. Elder Andersen talked about sacrifice and how we all sacrificed something to come out into the field, and how we need to sacrifice more. He also talked about persistance.

He played a video from a conference address he gave forever ago about a tree that grew in a windy place. When a tree grows in a windy place it needs to have stronger, deeper roots. and the bark needs to be stronger and more flexible. He said as missionaries we need to be the same way - have strong roots in the gospel of Christ. and when Satan pushes against you, push back.

I love it here!!!! Yo se que El Libro de Mormon es verdad y el evangelio es resturado en la tierra. yo se que mediante la expacion, todos personas on la tierra pueden regresar de vivir con dios. En el nombre de Jesucristo Amen.
