Hey, everybody!
This week has been so
much fun! I've had the opportunity of working closely with the Zone Leaders
once again. This time, because it's not a 4 man, I'm doing a lot more of the
planning, study, and travel that Zone Leaders do. This makes personal study time
a bit scarce, but oh well. 神様の御心 (God's will).
Miracles!
.......
I can't list them. They
are way too many.
Ok. Here we go.
We were at a train
station, and we started talking to this guy. Turns out, he is going to a
Christian college. He has a copy of the doctrine of Christ in his backpack.
WHAT.
Yeah. We're going to hunt
him down, baptize him, and rejoice.
There are many more
examples. Japan is a land of Miracles.
I have a request, though.
We are currently working together as a mission to achieve "white
Christmas", which is receiving 1 baptism/area by Christmas. Could you all
pray together for this? I trust the Lord will answer your prayers, because He
answers mine.
This leads me to the main
message I want to talk about this week: Prayer.
Prayer is a communication
with God. We speak with Him, and He speaks with us. I love prayer. Prayer is
one of my favorite things about revelation and this church. The concept that we
can sit and talk with God makes me so happy.
Recently, I have changed
how I pray. 1st, I never ever say anything in a prayer I don't actually mean.
This means that I have to sit and contemplate what I am saying. It makes prayer
longer, but much more sincere. Next, after prayer, I sit for 10 seconds in
silence and listen to the whisperings of the spirit. This shows the Lord we
value any response He gives us.
And so He responds.
Finally, when I close my
prayer in the Sacred Name of Jesus Christ, I remember. I remember what Jesus
has done for ME. Not anyone else. For me specifically. I remember that He is MY
savior. And I give Him a spiritual hug.
I only say this because I
remember that when I was at home, I thought my prayers were good. Here, I have
learned they were rituals, not conversations. I would like to invite everyone
to speak with God in the Sacred Name of Jesus Christ this week; Never say what
you don't mean, and mean everything you say; remember.
I promise, you won't
regret it.
Sincerely,
Elder Chun
