Dear Family,
So, Here we are in the most exciting place on the planet next to Japan. Our excitement is from the growth and the blessings of the spirit of God.I am so excited to tell you about Zone Conference with President and Sister Lawrence. Pres. Steinagel was a bit subdued but he still got the missionaries to commit to getting 4 or more commitments for baptism form Tues. to Sunday. Pres. and Sister Lawrence helped by getting these great Elders and Sisters to sing,"The Lord needs valiant servant to do his work in the latter days. To follow the teachings of Jesus and serve his people in a loving way.
I will be his servant I'll gather Israel faithfully, I'll pray for 4 or even more, the Lord can depend on me. It was so cool to hear them sing this 5 times. Each time they got stronger and more believing in their commitment. I was singing right along with them and on the way home we were just looking at people and wondering who was ELECT and who would want to know just how much God loves them...
Who are you? You are a child of the covenant. Look up elect in the bible dictionary. That would be you. You are the ones who fought with Jehovah and defended Gods plan of agency.You are the ones who have been defenders of truth and righteousness before you even came to earth. That is why it rings true to you now. That is why you are honest and why you love goodness in others. We are drawn to those who desire good. I just really had such a great time being feed by these great leaders.
I invite all to come unto Christ our Savior and Redeemer. Learn of him and follow in his ways. You will find peace and true happiness. There is order in His kingdom. He expects us to follow his prophet and to obey his commandments. I testify that if we do there is just so much pure joy that we can not contain it all. We will be fainting away just like Alma the younger.
I love you all and I really miss hearing from you weekly. By Friday I am looking at email hoping for a note. Happy b-day to Lucy and Ethan .Peeps and Ben have had their days.
Love,
CtapewNa i Cestra MNbEpi
Elder and Sister Mayberry
