Come Unto Christ.

Our lives should be a confession of Christ. And together with our words, testify of our faith and devotion unto him. This week was a wonderful week as we worked hard to give everything we are to our investigators. I can seeing them have a literal coming unto Christ. And drawing near unto Him. Marissa, asked her when her WHOLE family can be baptized! Amor, is reading the BOM constantly and giving up his cigarettes. He is continuing to come to church and experiencing a change. We found a perfect fellowship. They even look similar. And both went through the sadness of losing a wife which caused their addition to drugs. Nickanor, totally stopped using cigarettes! He said he feels like he is 25 again! P.s. He is currently 72. He told us that 20 yrs ago 2 elders gave him an english BOM when he was in the mountains. He couldnt understand it bc it was in english. He went up to the mountains bc he became sad and went there to him peace. If he never went there he never would have met the elders. Becuase he couldnt read it she said He had a dream that the BOM was true, someone told him in the dream it was true, then we was walking on a pathway of light then he woke up. Ever since then, he knows that this is the true church and can now hold in his hands a Tagalog BOM and we can speak fluent Tagalog to explain to him what it means. He talked about John, the sheep He has that is not of this fold and said the other sheep are the Nephities and Lamanites, the Book of Mormon people. He will be baptised on Jan 10th! Yay! He will be a strong preisthood holder in the church. Roma, she lives in a junkyard, and has not very many things of a temporal means. We gave her the BOM and followed up. She was on page 100!!!!!! I think that is a new record. She remembered all the people and the stories. She doesn't have enough money to come to church, but I know and have faith that the BOM will help her develop enough faith to come. Eric, is overcoming his addition too. We saw him at his job driving a van while procelyting and the Bom was in the rear view mirror. He said he will read it instead of smoking during his breaks!! Yay! We are happy for him and his family. I know that Christ lives. He is the cornerstone of this church. I believe in Him and know he is the way of truth and salvation. I know that He loves us. He truly loves us and his love is manifest in all things. Nagmamahal, Sister Reed
