This seems to have been the topic of this week and I have done a lot of searching and have come up with a magnificent answer, that I have made a point to read often so that I may know just "Who Am I?" Here is what I have come up with:
I am the son of Elohim, the only Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent being in the universe. The brother to the only Perfect Being to ever walk this Earth, and the recipient of His most wonderful and gracious atoning sacrifice. I am a Valiant Soldier in the army of Michael the Archangel, to fight for the glory of God and all that he stands for. I am the son of Wade Wayne Fleming and Brenda Irene Cram, two goodly parents that have chosen to follow the teachings of Christ in these last days and on this darkened earth. I have chosen to serve my Lord, Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, the one and only Jehovah to bring others to the same realization that through Him all thing are possible. I am a Child of God!
So now I ask you. Who are you? I know and can promise you that as you come to truly understand who you are, you will feel the love that our Savior and our Father in Heaven has for us. Now to the juicy details of the week...
First, let me start off by saying that having faith in God and His power is a powerful tool that not only missionaries have access to. It is something that every Child of God can use to help others, as well as themselves. Ok, so after many diligent hours of finding over the past few weeks has finally paid off because we have found two new investigators this week. One is the 9 year old son of a recent convert, and the other, who actually our neighbor, who we found through Search and Destroy on our area book. He was marked as not interested, but he wants to learn more now, which is AWESOME!
Now I want to recap a story that happened on this last Sunday. We had a lesson with the siblings that are on date, and we had to drive ourselves (no members could go with us), as we got on the road we discovered that we would not have enough gad to make the almost 50 mile round trip visit to their home. As we continued anyway, we said a prayer that we would be blessed to be able to make this visit with enough gad to make it there, back and to the gas station the next day. What is awesome is that miraculously we not only had enough gas for that but according to the car, we ended with enough gas to go five more miles, so we had more than enough to reach a gas station and fill up the next day. I just wanted to share that story and bear my testimony that not only does the Lord bless those who serve him and do his work, but he blesses those that keep his Sabbath day holy.
I also want to take some time to congratulate my sister-in-law, Hope, for getting baptized this last Saturday. I am sorry I could't be there for it, and that I won't be able to be there when you guys are able to go through the temple and get sealed, but I just want to say that I love you and am proud of your decision to be baptized and to take the first steps towards returning to live with your Heavenly Father. I know that He is proud of you too and loves you more deeply than I can even express in words. Also, I want to say that I am very proud of my brother Corban for turning his heart toward the Lord once more and the wonderful husband he is/ is becoming for his wife and what an awesome brother he is.
Lastly, I want to say to all my Willistonian friends that I love you and am/will truly miss you. As some of you know, my parents are moving to Nebraska, so I will not be in Williston when I return in just 22 brief months (that is right it has been two months), so I just want to say that I appreciate all of you and the experiences that you have allowed me to have so that I have been able to grow into the wonderful man I am today, but don't worry, I will come back and visit for sure... I have got to give my homecoming talk in the ward I left, other wards it just wouldn't be right.
Well, that is all I really have for this week. I love you all and know that Jesus Christ lives and loves you too. Have an awesome week and I hope that you will receive many blessings from our Heavenly Father.
