Bonjour!
We just went to this massive church and explored for a while, so time is short...
This week Abiodun and Gift and Faith were all baptized. It was fun for me to see that no matter how many times you have to dunk someone under water (for Abiodun it took him 5 to go fully under) when we do the will of God the Holy Spirit testifies to our spirit the truth and goodness of what we are doing. He came out half drowned and had to get baptized forwards, but I have never seen him so happy.
When Jesus Christ came to visit the ancient people in the Americas, His arrival was announced by His Father:
"3 And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.
4 And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they understood it not.
5 And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.
6 And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:
7 Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him"
Then Jesus Christ came and taught the people His doctrine. But the people had to be actively engaged in listening.
This weekend the President of the Church of Jesus Christ and the Apostles of Jesus Christ will address the world. They will speak the words that Jesus Christ wants us to hear. How will we prepare ourselves to listen to that voice? How can we align our lives and actions with the will of God? I hope that you are all ready to make the most of their counsel.
We love you and have a great week!
