Alma the Younger

Hello friends!!! How are you? I hope you're all doing fabulous!

This week was great, as always! (Never a bad day in the service of the Lord;) but it was definitely harder if that makes sense haha? We didn't have very many super solid lessons and it's rough because I feel like only about three of our friends are actually progressing. So maybe next week if you talk to me, the rest of our teaching pool will be put on the back burner for a bit! We'll see!! All in the Lord's hands. But no complaints here, life is great!

☆ Yvonne gave us a call on Tuesday just devastated. So we went over to her house and she told us how ever since meeting with us, she's become a better person and people are noticing her changes. It's been amazing! But on Saturday, a friend gave her a call accusing her of something and she had just lost it. Definitely was not acting like the person Christ wanted her to be.

That very night and the whole rest of the weekend she said, "God laid me down just like he did to Alma the Younger." She had been wicked so he made her sick for all of Saturday, Sunday, but then when she had to work on Monday, she felt just fine. "It was so crazy y'all!!"

So we opened up to Enos and read about repentance but she had already done that! All that time she had laying there in bed she was praying to God asking for forgiveness. And then she called up her friend right there to ask for forgiveness too! It was so amazing. Repentance is powerful. I'm so grateful for the relief and love we are able to feel as we do it everyday.

I know God loves you and is pleading for us to repent so that we can receive that burden lifted up, just as Yvonne felt.

6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.

7 And I said: Lord, how is it done?

8 And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole

Oh it's just too good!!!! It's through our faith in Jesus Christ that we can be made whole  I love you all! Hope you have another wonderful week and continue to repent everyday so that we can come closer to God!

Love,

Sister Coon
