Living Viva La Loca

Life has been great this week! a lot has been going on, but it's been good. last week we had a missionary meeting which they asked us to prepare for by reading a talk called Be 100% responsible. It has been changing my view on things. This week i saw firsthand how it affects people as they are not. I was going to talk about that, but this is a heavy subject I don't feel like getting in on today! totally look at the talk though, it's not heavy, it's just real life advice that everyone needs https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/lynn-g-robbins_be-100-percent-responsible/ Story time! One our members is named Walter, he's 52, but he's just such a simple loving guy he reminds me of a child at times. The last 3 weeks satan has been working pretty hard on him, as happens with recent converts often after their baptisms. We had been doing all that we could to help him, but he stopped reading his scriptures, and satan was having a Hay day with his feelings, and walter has been on the fence about leaving the church. Saturday he decided he would leave, and didn't attend church on Sunday. the first time he's missed in months. and he really didn't want to meet with us. well, we convinced him to finally meet with us on monday. We sat down to meet with him and he told us "so an hour ago i went to open youtube, and a movie queued itself up without me putting anything in! it was a sign from god" and the video was of moses and his experience after seeing god in a vision. Often in our lives, just before, or just after we have awesome spiritual experiences satan tries to overthrow us. But, holding to the fact that we are children of a loving heavenly father, we can receive the help from on high to perservere. So long story short, God works miracles in our lives as well as in the lives of those we love today. In this case only god could help Walter! I love ya'll! Have a stellar week. Elder Johnson
