this week we worked alot with members and we have been working alot harder to teach in a even humbler way. to leave the peopl even more to figure the things out.
on divisions this last week i went to the ward that shares a church with my last ward. and we stopped by to visit the elders quorme president like President asked, because they dont have any missionaries right now. and we are supposed to check up on them every once in a while.
crazy thing is that we went there and we found a son of someone in our ward in la matutina(were we are at right now) and he is not a member. we have always wanted to teach him but we never could. and i feel it is a pride issue. he is 26 years old married and with one kid. goes to his own church, so why would he ever want to have the missionaries infront of his parrents. i understand that. but he was at his uncles house and his cousin is the doctor that just got back from cuba(she was studying there and just got home. i wrote about her 2 or 3 weeks ago) anyways he was super open to listening to us at that time. i felt he was a dry member. he just has to go for a swim and he is a member. he had read the book of mormon before and he knew his way around it. he also was participating just as much as the family.
i was with elder macias. he was my last comp right before my current one. and we taught the lession in 3 nefi 17 about compasion. and he loved it. we left. and then his ``friend`` slash cousin continued talking to him for the next three hours. it just goes to show if afriend talks to you about the gospel you will listen. but if it is some one of authority, you wont. we all need to be that friend inorder to find those people that we are looking for.
and i thought what is our weekness. it doesnt say our weeknesses. but our weekness. singular. i thought. the natural man. and then i thought right here it talks about if we are humble we over come our weekness. and then i made me think oppisite of humble. pridefull. and there it is the natural man equals pride. then it made me think in either 12 27 it says if we are humble we get the grace of God. where else do we here about the grace of God in the book of mormon. or how we can receive it.... 2 nefi 25 23 by grace we are saved after all we can do. what is all we can do. what is the sacrafice we are told to give. a broken heart and a contrite spirit. we are save after we drop our weakness, whick is our natural man, or natural women, and that is our pride. we drop that. we fast we pray and we become humble. and becomeing humble having a broken heart and contrite spirit is litterally all we can do. and then and only then will the Lord help us with his grace.
