This week went great! The area is really starting to look better! We found a family of 5 and three of them are progressing very well. We went to the CV with them yesterday and were able to watch the video about the family and it was very special. Their names are Beatriz(mom) Itzel, and Yanet (daughters). We also had two confirmations on Sunday of two kids from a partial member family. It was a great week for us here in Villa Madero.
I was studying this week in Alma 17 and 18 and i found some very interesting things that caught my attention.
35 Therefore they did not fear Ammon, for they supposed that one of their men could slay him according to their pleasure, for they knew not that the Lord had promised Mosiah that he would deliver his sons out of their hands; neither did they know anything concerning the Lord; therefore they delighted in the destruction of their brethren; and for this cause they stood to scatter the flocks of the king.
36 But Ammon stood forth and began to cast stones at them with his sling; yea, with mighty power he did sling stones amongst them; and thus he slew a certain number of them insomuch that they began to be astonished at his power; nevertheless they were angry because of the slain of their brethren, and they were determined that he should fall; therefore, seeing that they could not hit him with their stones, they came forth with clubs to slay him.
37 But behold, every man that lifted his club to smite Ammon, he smote off their arms with his sword; for he did withstand their blows by smiting their arms with the edge of his sword, insomuch that they began to be astonished, and began to flee before him; yea, and they were not few in number; and he caused them to flee by the strength of his arm.
38 Now six of them had fallen by the sling, but he slew none save it were their leader with his sword; and he smote off as many of their arms as were lifted against him, and they were not a few.
39 And when he had driven them afar off, he returned and they watered their flocks and returned them to the pasture of the king, and then went in unto the king, bearing the arms which had been smitten off by the sword of Ammon, of those who sought to slay him; and they were carried in unto the king for a testimony of the things which they had done.
Something that came to my mind was that the Lord will use our own strengths to manifest his power. He used Ammon's strength to show forth his power. And Ammon had 100% confidence in the covenant and promise that the Lord had made to preserve his life. At the end he did not boast of his strength or accomplishment but instead he continued doing his duty and serving the king. The Book of Mormon has been the tool most important in my conversion process. I know it is true and the doctrines found in it are true and that these truths have been revealed through a modern day prophet.
Love you guys hope you have a good week!
