Family and Friends,
It's snowing!!!! Well at least it's trying to :)
But what a week it has been, it was the last full week for Elder Sellers as he will finish his mission this Thursday! It's crazy to think that in a couple of days we won't be together anymore! We've been together in this area since August 12, so we hit 4 months just a couple of days ago!
This week has been full of miracles, and again the biggest ones come on Sunday! So since it was Elder Sellers last sunday he was asked to give a talk, so we milked that and tried to get as many people as we could at church! We were shooting for over 20, and we got 7! So we were pretty blessed!
But the coolest part is that we have a English Class and we have been teaching about 4 people regularly cada semana, y all four of them came! And I was able to sit next to one of them and while they were giving talks, they were looking up the scripture references in the Book of Mormon and bible! So we're pretty excited!
Also, one a youth gave a talk this past week and he's the only member in his family! So his mom came to support him yesterday, and the son just blew us all away! He basically told his mom to get baptized from the pulpit, he said that he feels lonely at church and said that he wished and wants his mom to be apart of the church and have the same blessings he's received! It was so powerful!
I read something this past week that blew me away! It said, Faith in Jesus Christ is much more than just having a PASSIVE belief in him!
Faith truly is a principle of action, it's a get out there and get your hands dirty kind of principle! And that got me thinking about my life and if I truly have an active Faith in Jesus Christ where I am searching to repent every single day, or do I have a passive faith and not eagerly searching to grow!
So remember, Faith is not passive, it's active!
I love you all,
Elder Jorge
