"Y ahora, después de los muchos testimonios que se han dado de
él, éste es el testimonio, el último de todos, que nosotros damos de él:
¡Que vive!"
Buenas
Tardes Familia Canty!!! :))))
how are all of you
today!? it sounds like your week was a VERY eventful week!! congrats chance and
em on your fair projects!! whit and jeff i am VERY excited to be the aunt of
Grayson!!! mom i am so glad you like your night shifts and that you have been able
to go to church!! and dad you also deserve a congrats for fair bc i know you
helped alot! and now youre gettin ready for school so enjoy your potatoes a
little longer!!!! well this scripture that i wrote to you all describes what i
have learned this week!!!!!! and it starts with this!!
President Ruiz
challenged us to memorize the 1st 4 paragraphs of The Living Christ before the
19 of Agosto!! and i have been memorizing it all week!!! to be honest im not
sure if ive ever read it, but i did and now that i am memorizing my testimony
is growing so much!!! yesterday i had to give a talk in church (i didnt know i
was going to give a talk until the sacrament was being passed.... but thats the
life of the missionary right!?) anywho!! i wasnt sure what to talk about but
this scripture came to my mind! and so i shared that and basically just bore my
testimony!! I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES!!! Jesus Christ is the son of God and
HE LIVES!!! we are not members of a dead church, we are members of the ONLY
TRUE CHURCH on earth! we are members of CHRIST´S church!!! how blessed are
we!!!!! it was something that presidente Ruiz said taht got my attention, he
said that if we dont gain a testimony of anything else here in the mission we
need to gain a testimony that we know that Christ lives!!!! my testimony is FAR
from perfect or great or complete but i can say with MORE ASSURANCE now, that i
know that Jesus Christ lives!!! (if you havent read The Living Christ, DO
IT!!!!!!!)
also! we saw how much
faith can do!!! remember Nancy!? the jovencita who lives 2 hours away and came
to church last week!? well she came again!!!! her mom was really sick this week
and had to go home to help her and wasnt sure how she would come to church.
well we werent sure either, but we did as the scriptures say and we fasted and
prayed for her! well Heavenly Father gave her the way! she showed up to church
on sunday. and boy did we have lots of questions for her! the first one,
"HOW DID YOU GET HERE!?" and she told us that her AND her mom left their
house at 5 am and
had to catch a bunch of rides to finally make it to a town where a normal car
was coming to malacatan!!! THIS GIRL HAS 17 YEARS!!!!!!!!! and her faith
is so much bigger than mine!!!! she trusts so much in the lord and never
doubts!!!!!!! if all of us could have the faith of Nancy, WOW!!!
miracles!!!!
also with faith!! our
recent convert brandon (he has 10 years) is super pilas!! we werent sure if the
member could pass by for him to bring him to church and so we went to get him
sunday. but to our surprise when we got to his house he had already left to the
church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when we got there, sure enough he was there sitting in
the front row!!! WOW!!!!! its amazing the effect this gospel has on all of us!
it doesnt matter our age! if we have a desire to follow Christ, he will put the
way for us to do so!!!!
lots of things have
happened this week, within our family! the news of grandma libby makes me very
sad while the news of whit and jeff makes me very happy!! i know that these are
all trials and blessings that come from a LOVING heavenly father. may we have
the faith sufficient to see the miracels he has prepared and may we follow his
commands so that when he needs us we will be prepared!!!
i love you all so much
and am very blessed to be a part of this family!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE
SUPPÒRT PRAYERS AND EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are my strength in those tough
days!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Con MUCHO amor,
Hermana Canty
