Earthquake (Week 12)

This past week was awesome, and I felt my first 2 earthquakes ( <--- lol that didn't even make sense). We taught a lot this week and found some new friends to teach so it was enjoyable. On Tuesday we were teaching a members husband and their house just started shaking and I thought a big truck just drove by but it kept shaking for just like 7 more seconds and it was kinda sketch not gonna lie, lol, but the member was saying that her heart was racing (mine lowkey was as well) but we just kept on teaching so that was cool or interesting or I don't know it was an experience hah. On Sunday I was doing my personal study and once again, the earth just started quaking and our house shook for like 5 seconds but then it didn't stop and it just kept going and it went for like 15 seconds so that was a little sketchy than before and it was a 6.1 earthquake so it was definitely worse than the one on Tuesday.

My Mission President has had pure revelation that there are 3000 of the elect of God in the Hawaiian Islands who are ready to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives and we are taking massive action to find these elect of God. Miracles are taking place all around the mission and an earthquake of change and of the spirit is about to take place in the Hawaiian Islands as many of our fellow Brothers and Sisters enter the waters of Baptism and make their first covenant with God.

Don't let the earthquakes in life stop you and make you turn away from the gospel  of Jesus Christ. When the earthquakes come the ONLY place to seek shelter is the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Remember that all negative thoughts come from the devil and the natural man comes from the devil as well, like laziness, selfishness, pride. But all good things and positive thoughts come from Christ Moroni 7:24 -"...and all things which are good cometh of Christ..." so make the decision now to turn to the gospel of Jesus Christ when life's next earthquake hits you, which consists of reading the scriptures, praying, seeking correction, attending church and going to the temple. I promise that you will see miracles and mighty changes of good in your life when you decide to choose God instead of giving up. 

Love all of you and have a great week!! Jesus is King!
