Howdy family and friends! How are ya'll doing? I hope that ya'll enjoyed the general conference just as much as I did! Wasn't it wonderful?
There was one message that I wanted to focus this email on. It was a talk given by Robert M Daines, where he talked about being spiritually faceblind. He talked about when he was a kid, he was face blind when he viewed his mother. He saw her as the boss, the lady who had to be obeyed, but not as his mother who loved him so much. He was faceblind. He then tied that in to how we oftenly view our Heavenly Father. Many times we view Him as somebody who needs to be obeyed, the scary boss, rule maker, etc. But we don't see Him as he really is. A loving Heavenly Father who wants the best for His children (us) I have found myself feeling that way many times in my life. Viewing my Heavenly Father as the scary rule maker and we follow Him out of fear, but the longer I have been on my mission the more I have come to know Him. We don't need anymore evidence then we already have. In John 3:16-17 it says,
16 ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus Christ is all the evidence that we need to know that God is our loving Heavenly Father! I can promise all of you that as you come to know Jesus Christ, you will come to know that God truly does love you.
This week was a wonderful week! Full of miracles and challenges. I would ask that you would pray for:
María Teresa
José
Alma
Ignacio and Vanesa Mcpherson
Priscila and Enid
Ivan Avila
María Palma
I love you all! And hope you have a wonderful week!
Love, Élder Weese
