This
week we had I had the priviledge to witness another one of my Filippino
family get baptized and receive the gift of the holy ghost! It was a
beautiful thing. SIster Joy got baptized right after the Ward Christmas
Party so there was alot in attendance and the spirit of Christmas was
there! It was such a cool experience.
Yesterday, we had a christmas zone conference. We
received an amazing training from my wonderful Mission President about
the law of tithing. I want to share some of the things we talked about.
You know how you can't see faith? well if you want to see faith... Pay your tithing. (:
Paying
your tithing is an act of faith... and when you act on that faith, even
if you have no money to pay rent, or electricity, or for food.... the
lord will provide because you gave him the ten percent that belongs to
him. Thats all that he requires. (:
When you pay your tithing you will be able to endure
anyting. you will have strength. you will not loose your job. you will
have a healthy body. the lord WILL sustain you, IF you are faithful and
pay your tithing.
THis is the way the world sees tithing: $1000-$100=$900
THis is the way of heaven: $1000-$100=$1000+
THe blessings from paying tithing are sacred and personal.
ALso, The ONLY way to worthily enter the temple and
partake of just a part of the eternal happiness and joy is to pay an
honest tithe.
Pretty amazing right? President
also asked us if we would ask our family and people that we look up to
to email us their experience of paying tithing and receiving blessings,
so that we can use it as an experience for our investigators. so If you
would all do that please.
I have learned so much about tithing. it is such a special Privilege that we as members of the church get to partake of.
Then
we got to watch the Christmas Devotional!!! It was so nice to see
america again(: I love listening to the inspired messages and hearing
the music! President spoiled us yesterday, he let us eat sandwiches and a
donut and a brownie and ice cream. He is funny.
Oh, I almost forgot! My companion celebrated my 6
month mark by eating at Mcdonalds... its pretty sad that i think it is
so delicious now. I hated mcdonalds in the states... haha. But it was
way good, and we had an amazing day of teaching that day! I can't
believe that in one year... i'll be back in america, freezing my tail
off.
Sorry i'm a little scatterbrained today! (: i'm just so excited for calling you tomorrow! (: aaaaahhh!
Merry Christmas!
Love, your sister missionary,
Sister Young
P.S. I'm still sweating buckets here while you all are shoveling snow! (: hahaha
