Week 6

Hey I’ll send a lot of pics next week! I got a bug stuck in my eye so I need to go to urgent care really quick cuz I can't get it out. Don't worry at all though I'll be fine. I just can't email well. This week was amazing! I saw a lot of miracles. We met a new guy named J (Spanish) :) and we think he’s really prepared. We'll just have to keep working with him. I miss you guys but the mission is amazing! I love everything about it! Share this with all the boys and dad cuz I've got to go. The scripture of the week is in alma when him and Amulek have to watch the children and women burn.

Alma 14:10-13
10 And when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children who were consuming in the fire, he also was pained; and he said unto Alma: How can we witness this awful scene? Therefore let us stretch forth our hands, and exercise the power of God which is in us, and save them from the flames.
11 But Alma said unto him: The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand; for behold the Lord receiveth them up unto himself, in glory; and he doth suffer that they may do this thing, or that the people may do this thing unto them, according to the hardness of their hearts, that the judgments which he shall exercise upon them in his wrath may be just; and the blood of the innocent shall stand as a witness against them, yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.
12 Now Amulek said unto Alma: Behold, perhaps they will burn us also.
13 And Alma said: Be it according to the will of the Lord. But, behold, our work is not finished; therefore they burn us not.

Imagine how much faith that would take! We have to have 100% faith in The Lord and know that when we keep the commandments he will always provide a way and lead us in the right direction.

Love you all sooooo much! Have a great week!
