Elder Low's report:
This week I've been reading in Mormon and focused quite a
bit on Mormon chapter 9. This chapter talks quite a bit about the nature of
God, how he has always been a speaking and an acting God. While I was reading
in this chapter I specifically came across this verse:
20 And the reason why
he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they
dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in
whom they should trust.
God does not cease to do miracles, here Moroni specifies
that. But he also explains here that to receive and see these miracles we must
walk what he calls the "right way." This means we must follow the
commandments and the voice of the spirit; in acting as the Lord would act. If
we do this having faith in Christ, we have the promise that we will see miracles.
A couple of weeks ago Elder Corry and I felt strongly
impressed to go to the house of a less active. It did not result in any new
investigators, but from that visit it became extremely impressed upon both of
us the importance of less active work. The man we found had a very strong
testimony of the gospel but because of problems we still have yet to
understand, he finds himself unable to go. "But," he stated, "The
time I spent in the church was a very happy time in my life." We saw the
fire of his testimony and realized how that lay in all of our less active
members and in those recently converted. Now Two weeks later we have found 7 new
investigators from LARC work and one of them which we found yesterday happened
on accident. We knocked on our recent convert’s door. He opened the door and
there sat one of his nonmember friends as well. We jumped on the opportunity. We
shared a scripture on how the Lord makes us strong when we are weak (Ether
12:27) and asked him to be baptized to receive this strength. He said yes. His
recently converted friend then jumped in and said he had already taught him
much about the church.
I know as we act as the Savior would act, and help all
people that we come into contact with, the Lord will provide miracles’.
