Hermana Emily Bott: Blessings Raining Down!!!

Hi!!! Wow this was a really good week. We had the last muti-zona with President and Sister Douglas and their son, Chris. Then we went to the temple twice! Then Iris got baptized on Saturday! Then we watched meet the mormons as a stake as a missionary activity. So it was a super amazing week to say the least. oh I forgot to top it off we talked in sacrament meeting. 10 min talks. Wow I really never thought I would be semi comfortable ever doing that, especially short notice ;)

We will meet President and Sister McGinn this Wednesday!! I’m excited. There are many things I need to learn from them.

This will be shorter because we aren’t at the church to do internet like normal bc its ferriado and its closed and this keyboard is really hard to type on. haha :)

Ok so I’m learning a lot. We are still working with Ariela and Gabriel. She is a little scared to get baptized so we have talked a lot about faith this week.

Alma 32:21 , Book of Mormon

21And now as I said concerning faith— faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

2 Nephi 31:12, 13, 19-21

Book of Mormon

12And also, the voice of the Son came unto me, saying: He that is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.

13Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent , repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism —yea,...

19And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path , I would ask if all is done ? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save .

20Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope , and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

21And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way ; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father , and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,...

I’ve learned a lot about faith lately.

We taught a young family this week. The daughter and her husband of a recent convert. The spirit just comes without much work when teaching families.

I know that God’s work and glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of families.

Iris has changed so much. After she was baptized and then confirmed she was just glowing both times. She glows with the spirit and has a desire to share the gospel.

I’m so blessed for everything that God has given me. The Lord has been so kind to us. I really just sit in awe.
