Yesterday, Elder Stagg and I were walking down to a last appointment last night after one had fallen through. I began to have very confusing mixed feelings if we should go or not. Something was very confusing but we continued to go. I felt that’s what we should do. After walking for a mile or so, we came upon this crowd of people in the street. First I thought it was just a bunch of kids doing something bad. As we got closer, we realized that something was wrong and people were all gathered in a circle around something. We asked a neighbor what was going on. She said, a lady just got beat up on the street and she was really hurt on the ground. We made it to the front where the lady was lying. I tried to imagine what the Savior would do. I pictured him down by her side comforting her and blessing her. I think we were both feeling what to do. Elder Stagg told the lady that "we are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ and asked if she wanted a blessing" she said yes. Elder Stagg placed his hands over her head a blessed her by the authority of the priesthood. The blessing was sweet, that all would be well. Elder Stagg and I held her hand as he and many others asked her about her family and what they like to do to keep her comfortable. As I sat there holding her hand I could see the spiritual battle going on in the world. I thought about President Monson´s last talk School Thy Feelings O My Brother. I could see Satan ruling in the hearts among our brothers and sisters here on earth.
We are on the right team and the winning team. Elder Holland said it would be a good fight, a victorious fight, but a fight nevertheless. We listened to his talk this morning from last conference about the Book of Mormon. I am growing to love that inspired book more and more every day. It contains the words of our Savior that bring peace and freedom to anyone who will believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ.
We have it so good. It sounds like times may become rough for all of us, but really, we are living in Paradise. I love you family. A day doesn’t pass without me loving you.
