Upon my mind recently have been impressed the following thoughts: He who would be a disciple of Jesus Christ must be the servant of all. Righteousness is power. Sacrifice brings forth heaven’s blessings. The gospel, when its ordinances and principles are faithfully obeyed, is the power of God unto salvation; it is real; here and now our lives can be changed, uplifted, sanctified.
Yesterday, being preparation day, we attended Charly, a film about a mentally retarded person who becomes a genius following a certain operation but finally reverts back to his original condition. It had some significant social commentary. In district meeting we discussed changes in the handbook, goals, and faith. In relation to the latter, I told the story of Jonathon and his armor bearer discovering themselves unto the Philistines (see 1 Samuel 14). We held family home evening with Aldo after spending the early evening tracting.
Today we directed our tracting efforts to Vergel, a very poor section of the city. The lineage population is quite high, nearly everybody, and our methods are to stop at houses where lighter kids are playing in front, or at houses that are newer or recently painted or well kept, or at houses that we feel inspired to hit up.
