What is upppp.
The first thing that I want to share and testify of right off the bat is the power of fasting. I've prayed a lot and fasted a lot, but man. Elder Thornton and I were able to do this together yesterday and it was an amazing experience. I've fasted and prayed for a lot of things, but this was probably the most specific that I have done in a long time. We've prayed a lot for Katya. For weeks, we prayed and prayed and prayed for Katya's husband to finally sign the paper of approval of her baptism, and I really realized what it means to fast with faith. For a long time I just found myself amazed at how hard it actually is to have in faith something that you know could come to pass only by a miracle. And I knew that it was a longshot still, with her husband being as against the church as he is. But, we received a text from her just today, the day after our fast: "My husband has signed the paper. You ask me how I know that God loves me. This is an example."
THE BEST TEXT MESSAGE I'VE EVER RECEIVED. Hands down.
I really truly know that fasting is of God. It is a KEY commandment in our day. Recently, I've studied about fasting a lot, and man. I never realized how important and powerful it is. For those who are members and probably view fasting the way that I viewed it for the longest time, I want to testify to YOU!! Fasting is NOT a secondary commandment. I feel like so often we view fasting as one of those things that we "also" do. By that, I mean that if you were to sit down and tell a non-member everything that members do, you would, probably near the end, mention something like "oh. and we fast too". I can honestly tell you that from my personal studies of the scriptures and through studying the studies and words of our current and modern prophets and apostles in our day that fasting is a MAJOR part of our religion and life. It is powerful. It works. We can fast for so many reasons. Together with prayer, fasting is one of the most powerful demonstrations that we can show and express to our loving Heavenly Father. I KNOW that it works.
Now this is amazing, especially after an entire WEEK of me being sick. Physically, I felt like a big pile of garbage this week. I've never slept so much on my mission. I was wrecked for about 5 or 6 days with a gnarly sinus infection that kicked me in the slacks. I'm feeling better already, and it seems that the cure wasn't Advil or sleep or anything else, but a simple text message lifted my spirits like nobody's business!!! Katya is getting baptized.
Have a great week everyone!!
