If you just BELIEVE...

Trusting in ADVANCE & what will only make sense in REVERSE...

Faith.The first principal of the Gospel, but really of life. Without it, we would be lost in a world of endings. A faithful servant of Lord in these last days, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said that there are no true endings in the Plan of God, only true beginnings.

Faith brings the answers to the profound questions of our human existance...How is it that a force that we can not see cause a tall, rooted palm tree swerve back & forth in the direction it demands? How is it that our bodies are built so perfectly that it can endure so much until we part from this life?

He. Our Heavenly Father. I testify that He is there, listening, and creating winds so that we may be swept in the direction to happiness and eternal life, & inspiring doctors and priesthood holders to continue the miracles of healing.

If we simply have faith, it inevitably leads to action, which brings to pass the miracle of witnessing the Lord´s hand in the very details of our lives and in the lives of others.

La fe...mueve montañas. -Mateo 17:20

Only when we work to move that mountain. The mountain is never going to move if we don´t exercise our faith and put our hands on that mountain to more even if it´s rock by rock.

GENERAL CONFERENCE was amazing!! This week´s lesson for Hermana Fernandez was on faith if you haven´t guessed. Satan has been pretty persistent on tripping our investigadors over little rocks that may seem insignificant. We have been so blessed to be working here in Azua there are so many families the Lord is preparing here, but just as the Lord´s work is hastening, Satan´s power is growing.

BUT...have no fear because the Lord is on our side. Someone just shared this with me and I´d like to share it with y´all..You have the Savior on your side. How can you fail?

Oscar and Valencia and Carlitos are what we like to call golden investigadores but the only thing that has kept this wonderful family from making covenants with the Lord is their church attendance. I have learned up to this point in life that church isn´t an option, but I must remember that I didn´t always know that. We must help each other build those testimonies by sharing ours.

I know that this is Christ´s Chruch and that He leads it through his servants the prophets. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God and that the twelve Apostles are too called of God. I am so grateful to have the priviledge to know these truths, they have shaped me into the person I am today and I know that as I am faithful I can reach the highest kingdom where God is and reach my highest potential. and you know what....YOU CAN TOO!!!

I love you all and pray that you can come closer to our Heavenly Father.

WITH LOTS OF LOVE,

Hermana Fernandez

FULL force...

That has been the theme of my last couple weeks. 

The Lord is hastening His Work with FULL force! So this week was crazy powerful, hectic and just full of witnessing how the Lord has His hand in all the tiny details of our lives. Not going to lie it was a challenging week, but I learned a lot and experienced a lot about trusting in the Lord´s Will and Timetable. It takes great faith and patience!!

We have a lot people that the Lord has prepared for us this last week, but it took absolute diligence and faith. As we embark in this journey of life, we must continue faithfully and trusting fully on our Lord Jesus Christ, because we are nothing without Him. He has given us everything and we are heirs to His kingdom, we just humble ourselves and COME UNTO HIM.

COME...that´s an action, not just a belief. It isn´t enough just to believe, we must do and show our Heavenly Father and we are ready and will do His Will.

¨Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.

¨And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them.¨ Mosiah 4:9-10

We invited many to do just that this week and it was the absolute reminder and kind of preparation I personally needed for this coming general conference. Have we Come Unto Christ and applied the last general conference talks in the last 6 months of our lives? Think about it.

I am so grateful for the priviledge we have and know of the love Heavenly Father has for us that he has restored his Gospel on earth again exactly how He established it through Jesus Christ on earth. We get to hear from our beloved prophet and apostles this coming week....LET´S PREPARE to COME UNTO CHRIST.

Love,

Hermana Fernandez
