The Only Name Given

Hello fam and friends, 

Hope all is well on that side. The work continues to move forward and things are good. 

I saw so many times this week how we were truly led by the spirit. Almost everyday there was a person we ran into on the road that we needed to see or that we had been worried about and we were able to stop and talk to them. And so many times we happened to be at the chapel at the right time to meet someone who had been looking for us. So many times were we prompted to go to a certain house when we had a fall through and it happened to be the perfect time. 

But we had a powerful experience with a lady we met this week. We met her long time ago but just this week were able to visit with her. As we started the lesson she told us that she was Muslim. Her husband is a Catholic and they have one kid and one more on the way and she is trying to decided what to do. If they should become a Catholic family or a Muslim family. So she was open to listening but honestly for me I have never taught a Muslim and I struggled thinking of what to say and what to share but as we went the words came. She ended up sharing some of her STRONG beliefs about her religion and especially about her belief in Jesus Christ as just a prophet. She has great faith in God and I was truly inspired by the testimony she shared that God is really ALWAYS there for her. It was powerful. But as she was sharing the beliefs about Jesus Christ I realized how much I am blessed to know about him as our Savior. Even this week in the Book of Mormon I read a verse in Mosiah chapter 3 verse 17, "And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of me, only in and though the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent." ONLY THOUGH JESUS CHRIST IS SALVATION POSSIBLE, and how great it is to know we have a Savior. We make a lot of mistakes in life and we face a lot of trials. I have seen that in the people I teach for sure. But we have a Savior and we have an example to follow and Jesus Christ showed us all that we will live again and that we can overcome to world. I know that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son, and our Savior and Redeemer. I know he lives and because of him everything is possible. Even though I am truly grateful or the things I learned from our friend that day, I’m grateful even more for the testimony I have of the Savior.  

Anyways not much to say this week but next week I hope I will have some good goood news! We got some big plans in the works ;-) 

Have a good week everyone! 

with lots and lots of love ,
