Shared the Light the World initiative with members, a Rodrigo from Mexico City, and Juan Carlos' parents, who have started listening when we visit Juan Carlos! They're a lovely pair of people we hope to work more with. The Martinengos also came with us to the Valverde's. Upon meeting a really good guy named Jorge, he expressed that at the death of his son, he knew truth was in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He already wants to get work off on Sundays so he can come to church to be prepared for baptism. Volunteered one evening to be in a live nativity. I know that that night really did occur when mankind was given the gift of a Savior.
President Nelson mentioned that one of the gifts the Savior gives us is the unlimited capacity to love. Despite our limitations of mortality, we possess limitless love. With Christ's help, we are able to keep on loving, even when knocked down, rejected, or hated again and again. Though not one soul of Helaman's army in Alma 57 perished, all of them received many wounds; we all get scars from the battle of life, but the Lord will deliver us -- and enable us to love still -- if we look to Him for strength. Therein we become a wounded healer, someone who succors another because they themselves have suffered. We begin to love how He loved, finding joy as He did among the trials.
Love, Hermana Jerman
