2011-10-22 - Letter 22 10 2011
Last Sunday was and if fact this whole week has been Crazy but it seems some here in Honduras actually get it. I was asked by one of our employment specialist. Why is there not any programs from the church for the poor? That has bothered me all week. Most of the jobs we put into the web site are for educated or simi educated people. Some only have only passed the six grade. Those jobs are hard for us to find because we have to contact factories directly and find out how they hire their personal. We heard of a place in Villanueva which is about an hour away that there were opening up a super store. Hermana Bessie said it was a two day interviews and they had 300 people that applied. She was called back for the exam. They take an exam to see if they qualify for the job. We missed the appointment and we just don’t have enough personal to be in twenty places at once. So your mother has devised a plan. To call a missionaries or a couple from each of the stakes to serve for one day a week in the employment center. Be called for one year. There are 8 stakes close enough to drive to and four stakes that are an hour or so away will be called to work in their own stake one day a week helping there members in there stake get jobs. Your mother was up early one morning typing on the computer. She told me to get up and look at this idea. I was half a sleep and really didn’t give it much thought but later I saved what she wrote and translated it into Spanish. I felt it was an answer to our prayers of finding a way we can leave Honduras and know that the work goes on. I know with all my heart that the lord inspired your mother to come up with this plan. Two days ago we receive our first missionary assign to the employment center and I can testify that the lord has blessed us and this City. I sure love you mother. Yesterday I was called on the phone when I was picking up the mail for the missionary. Hermano Crirasco said there was this person that did not like me and wanted to talk with me. I really did not understand totaling what he was saying but when I got back to the Employment Center. There was this person waiting for me. He spoke very good English. He asked me if I thought the lord wanted him to die. That his wife was trying to kill him and he met her through black magic. That the seven day Adventist church told him that the Lord has a dark side and that he was visited by Christ and he does not look like that as he pointed to one of the pictures in the church. That He is not responsible for his actions and the things he had done bad was not him that was doing them. Ya know most of the time I would just left but I thought about the people that were in the chapel, your mother and the volunteers. If he gets mad enough he may just take us all out. He was not a member and he wanted me to give him a blessing to cast out his demon inside of him. That his faith alone will be enough to allow that demon to leave. I told him I could not give him a blessing. He said then who can? I walk him out of the building to my car and gave him a book of Mormon. I ask him to accept the Book of Mormon and read it and I would call him in a few days. He said you can give me blessing. I know you can. Will you? I said I really don’t feel I should and if you read this Book of Mormon and still want a blessing I will ask my Heaven Father if he wants me to give you one. This person reminded me of Ray in a sense that his mind was distorted. Ray would never hurt anyone but I did not know about him. I told him that how can you say you had a vision of the Savior when you practiced black magic. He said that was before. I told him he needed to get a job and take care of his daughter. Make sure she is fed and has clothes her whole life. He said well she was born under fornication. I said is she your daughter? he said yes then take care of her. I can’t work I am sick. I said I went to work sick and so can you. He seem to understand what I was trying to tell him that if you read the book of Mormon and follow it’s percepts than your life will have new meaning. He said you want me to read the whole book in a few days. I said no just read what you can and you can tell me what you think about it. He left with the book of Mormon in hand. I know he was not Satin but he knew things that I think satin would know. Scary. I used to think I can meet satin and be able to handle my own. I know that is not true anymore and the only way I can ever get through meeting satin is with the help of the lord Jesus Christ. I pray for you mother safety that matters to me an awful a lot and sometimes can only rely upon him to provide that. This place has a lot of things that happen that you do not have any control of. I know that the Lord bless me with safety. I have had close calls all the time when I drive. The other day I had three of them in one day and the last one saved my life. I was told or moved, to not to make the turn and I didn’t. I slammed on my brakes and almost hit the bus in front of me because it decided to swerve in my and slam on its brakes because the police put of green cones in the road to close off two lanes to pass out tickets or receive pay offs. I got my composure and thanked the lord for letting me live another day. If I would have turned I would hit the car next to me and ran over the policemen. The Gospel is true and we are all here for a purpose. Live for that purpose and receive the prompting from the holy Ghost in your lives. The greatest blessing you have is your testimony of the Savoir Jesus Christ. Knowing something has great power that others do not have. Cherish that testimony, nourish that testimony and it will extend your life forever. I know this to be true. Dad
