Stand Ye In Holy Places

Well this week was pretty good! We are have another MLC Friday,tbecause we are having an area Seventy come down. It should be pretty good. Well he highlight of my week was Friday night. We went over to a less active family house. Well we had dinner with them and just talked about the gospel. It's the mom, a son and a daughter. Well at the end we shared a message and talked about doing the simple things in life like church, prayer, read can really go a long way. Well pretty soon they started opening up and they started telling us why they didn't want to go to church and why life was so hard. They felt like God had kind of abandoned them. Well my companion had the prompting to ask if they wanted blessing. They all wanted some. So we gave them blessing a it was just super powerful. They were all crying by the end and thanked us so much. Well after all the blessings were given we gathered in the living room and kneeled in humble prayer. It was one of my best experiences in the mission field. It makes me grateful that I could be called upon by the Lord to act in his name. I wasn't expecting to do that and would of felt so bad if I wasn't worthy to act. Always stand worthy to act when the Lord calls. It says in Alma 8:18. Now it came to pass that after Alma had received his message from the angel of the Lord he returned speedily to the land of Ammonihah. And he entered the city by another way, yea, by the way which is on the south of the city of Ammonihah. I love how it talks about acting speedily. The Lord told him to act and he did. No second thought, no delay, no hesitation just doing the will of the Lord. Always be ready and worthy to be called upon and act in his name!
