The other day we went to Emanuel's
house (Emanuel's sixteen, and is preparing to be baptised in a few
weeks! He's grand), and the neighbours were blasting cumbia next door
(Note: if you google some examples of cumbia, you'll see that it could
be a distraction from having a spiritual lesson). Elder Alvarez and I
decided to push on and start with a prayer any ways, hoping we would be
able to understand each other over the music. Elder Alvarez started the
opening prayer, and out of nowhere the neighbours turned the music way
down, to the point where we could hardly hear it. And thus it remained
for the rest of the discussion. It was a really special reminder of how
much our Heavenly Father worries about each and every on of His children
and their progress. It wasn't a huge, important lesson we had to teach,
but Heavenly Father did His part so that we could teach with His Spirit
present. And it definitely made Emanuel think a lot. I know that the
Lord has each and every one of us present. He knows us, and if we are
obedient and do all that is in our power to do His will, He'll help us
with all we need. He knows us and blesses us every day. All we have is
His - don't try and hold any thing back. How I love this work, my life,
my family and my Jesus. He lives!
Un gran abrazo
Elder McDonald
