こんにちは!!
We had a great week this week! Today was great because we got
to go to the Temple. So awesome! Temple p-days are great.
So first off our investigator T, who I had talked a lot about
when I first got to Yachiyo has started progressing again! He's
decided that he needs to really give this another go. He's doing
really well again and actually quit drinking coffee for a little
while. (Huge step). I had a pretty cool experience with one of our
members last week too. He has been having a really hard time getting
off work for church on Sundays and is really disappointed because he
says he's keeping all of the commandments except for the Sabbath day.
I was actually able to share from Kelsey's last email the story about
R and his experience with sacrificing his job for Sundays, and
then receiving a huge blessing for it. He really felt the Spirit and
is going to sacrifice more to come to church on Sunday. I know God
blesses us for sacrificing our wants, or even things we think we might
need, to keep His commandments.
The church is true! I gave a talk this week at church and got to talk
about how the Restoration is the foundation of our testimonies. I
shared parts of 3 different conference talks: 1st, "Catch the Wave"
Russell M. Nelson, April 2013. 2nd, "Joseph Smith" Neil L. Anderson,
October 2014. And 3rd, "Are you sleeping through the Restoration?"
President Uchtdorf, April 2014. (You should read them). When we gain a
firm testimony in the Restoration of the Gospel and the Prophet Joseph
Smith, our faith in the Gospel will never waiver. The great thing is,
is that as we build our testimony of this, and continue to receive
those spiritual confirmations, our desire to share the happiness of
the gospel will grow. Continue to strengthen your testimony in the
Restoration
Love you guys!! Elder Snyder
