Another great week.
On Tuesday we had a zone meeting. The focus of the meeting was Matthew 28:19-20.
On Wednesday we went to the hospital to visit several different people to administer priesthood blessings. One of them was a woman who only spoke Spanish, so we had a member translate for us and give the blessing.
On Friday we went to see a certain family. They are from another country with another language and have no background with Christianity. They are so friendly and we love them. We obtained a copy of the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ in their language. We explained Moroni's promise to the mother and a son at the doorway. As the boy translated for us, he became excited and said:
Momma! The God will answer! The God will answer us!
His excitement excited me. It's true!
On Saturday, on our way to see the same family, we met a woman who stood by the side of the road, waiting for a friend to pick her up. We talked with her and she told us about her family. As we spoke with her, she told us of the concern she has for one of her sons who is facing difficulties. She paused, tears formed, and now struggling to speak, she said:
I have so much in my heart right now, and I feel like I just need to talk to someone. And something--God, I think--is telling me to talk to you. I feel like God sent you here to me.
God did send us to her! He cares about her. He cares about you. I love the words of the prophet Spencer W. Kimball:
God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.
I love you all,
Elder Judd
