Cody's Mission: Apostle Neil Anderson ...AMAZING week!!

This sums up this week!!!! I got Grandma's package!! But this week was absolutely amazing!!! We heard from Elder Anderson, President Whitney L. Clayton of the Seventies Presidency and Elder EchoHawk, Second Councilor of the Philippines Area! It was so spiritual! My favorite part in each were Elder Anderson said, that times in areas will be expanded so not as much transfers because we need to get to know the people. That takes time and get them comfortable with who we are! Also he talked about the Merits the Mercy and The Grace of Christ. How without that we wouldn't have had the atonement. He said, We Don't Fully Understand How the atonement happened. But we definitely know it does what it does. Only he, could do it ...Only Through the merits, the mercy and the grace did it happened. And be able to endure what he had to go through. Any other man would have died... and he wouldn't have been able to endure all that Christ did.

My favorite from Elder EchoHawk was when he asked the congregation if they believed in angels. Then asked a recent convert to come up and said, "I would like all the full time missionaries to stand up. ". These Brothers and Sisters, are Angles called and sent by a Prophet of God! Sent here to the earth and The Lord is hastening his work through the age change. We as members need to help the missionaries. We are all called to hasten the work. See this sister. She is the work of angels.{after she bore her testimony and baptized october 31}

Elder Whitney L. Clayton really talked about Alma 23:5-7 and it was amazing!

"5 And thousands were brought to the knowledge of the Lord, yea, thousands were brought to believe in the traditions of the Nephites; and they were taught the records and prophecies which were handed down even to the present time.

6 And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them--yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.

7 For they became a righteous people; they did lay down the weapons of their rebellion, that they did not fight against God any more, neither against any of their brethren."

I love those scriptures! "Do we have any weapons of war holding us back from our true potential?" It was truly an amazing week! I couldn't have had any better! but the picture was the sisters baptism but they needed me to baptize them! they are a great family!! All is well here! I ca talk finally and people understand what I'm saying! And I love it! The work is slowly coming! We have baptisms set on November 30th, so hope we can get those three families ready!
