It has been another great week out here in Raleigh North Carolina!
We were able to make some great progress with Shaun this week. He recognized the spirit, he recognized he needs to be baptized, and he recognized that we have authority, and he came to church! Pretty stoked about that. We just need to meet with him again and follow up with his prayer and hopefully set a date!
It snowed this week for the first time since I've been here. Me and Elder Fonnesbeck built a nice snowman off of our backpoarch named Mr Crusty. Well of course since we live In the hood, Someone came and beat the crap out of Mr Crusty and now he's dead and his body parts are laying all over the woods behind our house 😕 Mr Crusty gone to soon
We were doing service at a thrift store this week and some guy came in to buy a jump rope! I started talking to him and some how we ended up having a jump rope competition. Pretty funny
We made some great progress with Ignatius. The man is so elect. He told us that after the first time he met us he prayed and ask God about us and he saw a vision of us running down his street and the words "seek wisdom" kept coming to his mind. Pretty wild because after the first time we met him we were running late to an appointment and started running down his street! He also told us that he trusts no man. He will only trust God and a witness from the Holy Ghost. He came to church again so we are pretty stoked about that.
In 2 Nephi 11... Nephi says "My soul Delighteth" 5 times in the few short verses.
I especially like verses 5-6
5 And also my soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which he hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his grace, and in his justice, and power, and mercy in the great and eternal plan of deliverance from death.
6 And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that save Christ should come all men must perish.
I know that Heavenly father has a "great and eternal plan". I know that Jesus Christ is the center of the plan. Through Christ we can find peace no matter the circumstances we are in, but we have to exercise our faith and do the simple things that he has commanded us to do.
Alma 37
6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise
Love
Elder Forrest
