This week has been super great. We have this super capo* person that we're teaching named Michael who is 17. We've been considering dropping him because he's pretty flakey and it's hard to have consistent charlas with him but we keep trying because he has a strong testimony and wants to get baptized. Well this past week we finally had a lesson with him and much to our surprise he brought a friend! It was a super awesome miracle and even though Michael didn't come to church yesterday, his friend did and he said he really liked it. We are super excited for them both.
The subject line for this email comes from a favorite hymn of mine "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief". The hymn tells of a poor man who after being ministered to by Christlike love reveals himself to be the Savior. The hymn was sung just prior to the martyrdom of the prophet Joseph Smith. I like the Savior's words that "Of me thou hast not been ashamed". I challenge you all to not be ashamed to carry the name of Christ and to seek Christlike ways to minister to others. Michael was able to do this and because he was unashamed to share, another person is able to receive the message of the restoration, and he isn't even baptized. I know that as we strive to help others we will find as the songwriter that our efforts to serve others have helped us to serve the Savior. I love you all, thanks for all the emails,
Elder Watts
