This week we had such good work! Cieara came to church
with us and we had such a powerful lesson with her before. She had a powerful
experience where the holy ghost was really strong and she is excited to
continue learning. This week I learned so much about the power of following the
keys because President Welch wants us to be more in Preach My Gospel and the
other day I was studying and I spent the whole time in Preach My Gospel and the
whole time things just felt different. The power was coming from doing what my
priesthood leader asked of us. I realized that the commandment like from God
doesn't matter so much as the obedience to it. That is why in the Law of Moses
they had very different commandments than us and yet if they did it they still
were blessed and progressed due to the obedience.
We are meeting with another man named John and he is the
most sincere investigator I have ever seen. Heck most sincere than almost
anyone! He cries during most lessons and even just during the prayers. He is
like the most hardened man with such a sweet spirit. He has seen some
incredible things that I can't even imagine and somehow he has gotten to a
point where he is this in tune with the spirit. It really goes to show the
power of repentance and the power of the Atonement that Christ gives us. No
matter what we have done and no matter where we are at. God takes us from there
and helps us progress.
Love you so much!
Elder Howland
