We had a good Christmas and New Year's, spent it the best way possible--dendo! I just want to share one quick story-- We were knocking doors and really trying to follow the spirit to know where to go. We ended up at the house of a middle-aged lady who came to the door with her young teenage son. We simply explained who we are and asked if we could share a short message with her from her genkan. She accepted and we decided to start with God and prayer--she had never prayed before in her life, but said that if she did pray, she would probably ask for "world peace--if it was possible." We were able to testify to her that the Gospel of Jesus Christ truly brings peace to individuals, families, and is the only thing with the potential to bring peace to the entire world. It almost sounds too good to be true--but it is true! She didn't seem very genuinely interested at the beginning, but as we focused on her and really tried to apply the Gospel to her individually, the spirit touched her heart--and she agreed to let us come back and share more of this fantastic message.
I know that Jesus Christ truly is the prince of peace, and that someday He will bring peace to the world. He has already brought peace to my life and I am inexpressibly grateful for that!
I love you Mamasama!
Happy New Year!
