Well hello everybody!
Happy Valentine’s Day for all those
who are celebrating that day. I can assure you I certainly won’t be but share
the love on that day. It will be great.
This week has certainly been pretty crazy.
It’s been a really fun week. Amazing things have happened and blessings have
truly been answered from on high. Well so let me tell you about that...
Anthony Burnett has finally committed
to be baptized. He has taken the lessons for about the last 6 years and has
never received his spiritual confirmation that the church is true. He never
felt the spirit and something was just missing in his life and you could just
tell. We went over week after week pleading with the Lord to help guide us in
the right direction. On Thursday I got mad at Elder Smith and said dumb things
that I shouldn’t have, but while in the repentance stage after that experience I
finally had the spirit tell me what we should do...we needed to talk about the Book
of Mormon and explain that if he knew the Book of Mormon was true...The church
had to be true. Again pleading with the Lord to carry this message to his heart
and that he would be about to know the church was true. We went over there to
his home with his wife and were giving it our all. "When we can do all we
can do the Lord will take up the rest" and I know that to be true. This
meeting was the hale Mary of the game. The Lord came right when we were about
to give up and was able to touch his heart to the point that he gave up his
pride and told us he knows the church is true. I hope you all feel the spirit
that I feel in writing this letter. I know the Lord will answer our blessings
if we just ask. He will carry us when we have given our all. And I have truly
been able to see that with Anthony.
That’s just a cool story for today
but we also had Elder Suarez from the 70 come to us on a special assignment and
had a special for the missionaries for part of the GAM and for the Georgia Atlanta
North. He taught us a lot of great things...It’s not about baptisms. This work
we have been given is about lasting conversion. I love that man he really
taught us in a way that he followed the spirit. The answer is always the same
no matter if it comes from himself or from one of his servants. I am a servant
of God and from Him, Jesus Christ. I am trying to do the best job I can at
trying to find my brothers and sisters that are lost and looking for the truth.
He has truly called me to this area and to the word of the Lord for a reason.
Everyone in the world that has a calling in the ward unit where they live has
been called of God. He knows your needs and your desires. Rely on him and put
your trust in him.
Thank you so much for all that you
do for me and for the Lord. I know He lives and that He speaks continually
through His chosen prophets. I know that atonement can help us accomplish
everything. He will redeem us from sin and from death if you rely on him and do
all that you can do to be sinless. I promise that as a representative of Jesus Christ
that, that is true.
I love you all for all that you do
for me :)
Have a good week work hard.
Love,
Elder Macoubrie
