Friends and Family,
This week was good, and I think I say that a lot. But
that's ok because it's better than repeatedly saying "this week was
terrible."
So I'm not complaining!
We had Tommy come to the Sacred Grove (some of you may
remember Tommy, he was from Victor a few months ago who came to church and left
because he didn't expect it to be the way it was). He's come to church the last
two weeks in Pittsford now and he believes the first vision happened based on a
spiritual confirmation. We asked why he believes it happened and he said
something along the lines of "I just feel it's right" which is the
spirit! By the way, for those who aren't as familiar, the first vision is when
Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I testify that it happened
and no power on earth could convince me otherwise. If you have doubts (member
of the church or not) I invite you to pray about it, and if you want to take a
road trip to Palmyra NY to see where it happened, the Sacred Grove is always
there! :)
Linda and her daughter Amy are also on our list of people
to visit.
Linda has been investigating the church for months and
for the first time she stayed for the 2nd hour of church (she usually leaves
after the first hour, sacrament meeting). Amy started looking into the church
last week and seems pretty interested in it! She'll be starting her senior year
this year and wants to find her place in religion.
As for a challenge, I'm not exactly sure what to use. The
scripture "when thou art converted, strengthen thy bretheren" from
Luke 22:32 keeps coming to mind. This is what Jesus tells His chief apostle
Peter toward the end of His mortal ministry. So for the next few weeks the
challenges will be related to this. I invite each of us to become more
converted during these linked challenges beginning with scriptures.
Alma 31:5 tells us that the most influential thing in the
world is studying God's word. So I invite each of us to commit to do that every
day until the next challenge rolls around! Ideally, we keep doing it from this
week on each day of our lives, but if that's too much for now, at least do it
for 7 days. You can commit to anything for 7 days!
:)
Love you all!
