How have you seen the Hand of the Lord touch your life.....

Tender mercies... this week was a terrible week. Progressing investigators moved. A family decided to wait till October to be baptized, and everyone has bunked us. Worst of all on Sunday our branch president offended our investigators..... and at the end of the day the 2 goals me and my companion had set as our focus was what we got. I said i want Pinkie our druggy investigator back on our progressing list. Happened late Sunday we stopped by and she wants to see us tomorrow. And Elder Jallah said that he wanted Nomfundo on progressing with a baptisimal date ready to give her. Sunday after church she set an apointment with us and we explain the restoration with her. which means baptismal date will be set next week.

Remember that when you see something causing a problem, is it a baggage or nesessity? baggage? drop it.

 

 

While digging for diamonds in life, focus on looking at the small diamonds in life rather than the mound of dirt thats piles up. We will go thru so much for a little mercy moment but as we focus on those moments we will find great happiness in life. Those moments are the molecules that make up eternity.

Digging for diamonds takes along time but that small pile of precious stones at the end of the day is far worth it.


Repentence cost afflictions. Afflictions are the demands to meet justice. Justice ensures that there will be a final peace. Final peace will only come as we are patient in our afflictions. so the quicker its done. the quicker we will be happy again.
