CANADA Week 100-June 25, 2019

Rahul's baptism!

Rahul was baptized! It was humbling to see the Lord literally change the heart and desires of someone that you love. Now I need to be humble enough for the Lord to do the same for me . . . . I can testify of the feeling that the people of King Benjamin described when they said, 

"And they had viewed themselves in their own carnal state, even less than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying: O have mercy, and apply the atoning blood of Christ that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts may be purified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among the children of men.

And it came to pass that after they had spoken these words the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, and they were filled with joy, having received a remission of their sins, and having peace of conscience, because of the exceeding faith which they had in Jesus Christ who should come, according to the words which King Benjamin had spoken unto them. (Mosiah 4)"

Do we have the faith to be healed?

We had a sweet experience yesterday when we were teaching 2 young men, and helping them secure a more solid future for themselves and their families. it was incredible to see that their needs (financial stability, health, peace of conscience, strong relationships) are all things that God strongly desires that we have, and, if we follow His counsel, has already promised to us. I know that when we are obedient to His commandments the windows of heaven will be opened and a blessing will be poured out "that there shall not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10)"!

I know that He loves us and wants to bless us. What can you do differently this week to better receive these blessings?

We love you, and hope you have a fulfilling week!

Balut (a duck egg that was incubated for 18 days). It was crunchy because the bones had started to form, but surprisingly delicious.

President & Sister Phillips are headed home on Friday. We are so grateful for them!
