Continue in Faith

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to watch my little brother Antonio receive his mission call to the Japan Fukuoka Mission. Congratulations Elder Antonio Lim! Serve with honor and give all your heart, might, mind, and strength to God, as you do so the Lord will pour out His eternal blessings upon your head and that of your posterity.

"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." Matthew 19:29

This week we have been facing challenges with some investigators of ours. We have been teaching this family for about 3 weeks now and they are progressing well. Recently we taught them of the Law of Chastity and their need to be married legally. Two of the men both need to be married. Due to their poor and humble circumstances they cannot provide the money sufficient to pay their marriage. We have been instructed in these situations to exercise faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and remember His merciful hand unto all His children-

"And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." 1 John 3:22

I expressed unto them my deep conviction of Gods love for them and how he wants to bless us in every way. The Lord is willing to give us everything we want but we must show faith in Him, doing that which is pleasing in his sight. I know that we may not see those things that we need or know if we will be blessed with the miracle but I believe in the promise of Moroni that we do not receive a testimony until after the trial of our faith. So, if you find yourself in this situation, continue in faith doubting nothing and it shall be given thee.
