A Busy Week
Jan 11, 2021
 
Hola a todos,
 
This week was a very busy week. Something to do every hour and it felt great staying busy. We had lessons and visits with members. Interviews for baptism and with the President.
 
We have been getting more referrals from members as the days go by. They are developing this desire to love, share, and invite. On Wednesday President Wagstaff gave us a call and to see if we had an open afternoon. We were then able to move things around and went with him. We were able to find someone new and help the Spanish sisters find someone as well. It was great to see the desire in the members to be missionaries. We have also set up another return appointment to visit more people this week. I am excited to visit with all of them. During the ward missionary discussion we left them the invitation to think of someone they know that can be baptized in 30-60 days. And one name had come up that Bishop had given us as well. So we will definitely be working hard there.  Elder Micheli gave a great talk in church and we were able to get one of our friends to go that expressed disinterest a while ago. She came and stayed for all of it and Sunday school. It was great! We heard that she was gonna leave right after his talk but stayed and made friends in Relief Society. I love the Nyssa wards members and their desire to greet anyone who walks into their doors. We also have been setting up activities for the youth to invite their friends over. And help them get involved in this "Great Work". The theme this year is great. We also attended a youth fireside on it. The music for this year's theme is different than ever before. A lot more pop.

 
For my studies this week here is what I would like to share. He Come, Follow Me this week was great. I had learned of somethings that I haven't thought of. Especially with what people say is going on in the country of debates and arguments. Lots of confusion is rising. But we can do what Joseph Smith did, study it out as he visited different churches. Turn to the scriptures for they are the word of God. And I specifically enjoyed verse 12 "Never did any passage of scripture come with more power to the heart of man than this did at this time to mine." As we look for answers the spirit will guide us to those passages that will bring us the best guidance. And then we must pray on it as well. And ask for a confirmation on what we have learned or think is right to do. I also learned that we should take into consider the temptations Joseph Smith went through and the power of Satan. Cause after that he felt the love and warmth of God and Christ. He knew the difference between the two and can boldly testify that the vision he had was from God. It reminded me of Moses as we talked to God we were then visited by Satan and knew the difference there because of love. I am getting a great theme from all. Of this is Charity and Love the greatest attributes we can develop of Christ.
 
Love, Elder Cormack
