"In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost."
Howdy family and friends! How are yall doing? I hope that things are going well for yall!!Well this week was a tough one not gonna lie! Our two baptisms that we were gonna have fell through. Ana Cabrera fell off the face of the earth, we don't know what happened, we could just never find her. José Aguirre is the reason why I put the quote of Pres Nelson in the email. He was progressing very good!! But then he decided to do some research on the internet about the church and got into a bunch of anti. He completely lost his testimony that was growing, and then began to bash us. Told us that we were "brain washed" by our parents so that's why we go to church. He said that Joseph Smith was a fake, that he lied, and many things that I don't want to put on this email.
Through those experiences I learned 2 things.
1) We need a testimony, or we will not survive. It is impossible to live off of somebody else's testimony. We need to have a spiritual confirmation of these things, and we need to keep strengthing our testimonies.
2) I learned that I have a pretty strong testimony. In the moments when José was bashing us, I just felt a love for the prophet Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was NOT a fake. He was a prophet, chosen by God to restore the eternal gospel of Jesus Christ. I KNOW IT! The spirit of the Lord has made it known unto me. Nothing will ever make me doubt that.
After reading about those experiences, I want to invite you all to strengthen your testimonies daily. Do the small things that truly make a big difference. If you don't have a testimony, follow the counsel of the Savior. "Seek, and ye shall find"
This week we also went to Córdoba for a Christmas conference! It was so good to see some old companions!! I only have 2 more conferences, then I am home☹️
(Thank you for the packages mom, Tiff, and Karli😊. Yall are the best!)
Well I want to leave yall with a message of peace and upliftment. I know that the Savior lives, and I KNOW that He forgives sin. As our apostle Elder Holland said, "It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s [atoning sacrifice] shines." Please remember that. Allow Him to forgive you, I promise it is not worth it to carry that load alone. He can carry it with you. I know that President Nelson is a prophet and that as we follow his counsel we will aline ourselves with God's will. Follow his counsel of "Think Celestial"! I love you all, I bear witness of the reality of our Savior and of our Heavenly Father. They are real!!! I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
Love, Elder Weese
PS- I also got to go to the temple this week!! Enjoy the blessings y’all have of a temple literally in your back yard and go to the temple!!
