"Shall Be Your Minister"

Dear Family, This week has been very special and full of tender mercies. I tried to attach a video of Elder Ayala and I doing the Spalding sounds during language study today, but the file is too big. He knows the whole alphabet and we are working on the other sounds. It is a blast. I am thinking of Spalding Bingo during lunch someday. On Tuesday this week, I was on an exchange with Elder Gray (my MTC companion and best friend in the field) in his area. I have been waiting more than a year to spend a day with him again. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. We had a blast! He is an incredible missionary and even though he has the smallest area in the entire mission, he has baptized weekly for the past 3 weeks. We just saw miracle after miracle and his faith was contagious. He taught me so much about how to be a good missionary. We had an appointment with a man that had come to church on Sunday and it was the first time he had ever been taught by missionaries. We taught about the Book of Mormon and bore testimony of it and then invited him to be baptized on the 28 of September and he accepted. We were there for ten minutes and yet he felt the Spirit strong enough that he wanted to be baptized to have that feeling with him always. I learned from that experience that it doesn't matter what we say or teach that helps people to be baptized, it is how they feel. The other thing that made the exchange so fun was that Elder Evertsen (my first trainee) is Elder Gray's Zone Leader companion and they live in the same apartment so I got to talk with him and see the type of missionary and leader he has become. After such a wonderful experience on Tuesday being with extremely good and powerful missionaries it was frustrating to go back to my area and have my companions not be the same exact way. I was still a bit frustrated when we got to the office Wednesday morning for our weekly study with President Ashton. He asked what we should study and we explained our frustration and asked if we could study for our companions and how to help them. He concurred and suggested we begin in Mark 10. The following hour of study was one of the most humbling experiences of my entire life. We read about the apostles thinking they were great and powerful and Christ teaching them the eternal truth that he that is great should be a servant and that Christ himself came not to be ministered unto but to minister. We read about Bartimæus (the blind beggar) being hushed and "put into his place" by the crowd and the disciples only to receive the long desired and sought after mercy and healing from He who is the Master Healer. We read about the rich young man that kept the commandments from his youth but was not willing to give up his wealth in order to enter into God's Kingdom. And throughout all this reading, the Spirit was teaching me, prompting me, and chastising me. My intent of studying my for my companions was to change them and help them to be the type of missionary I thought they should be. I was focused on myself and my own wants and desires. But I am thankful that Heavenly Father understood the real need and lack. He knew that I was the one that needed to change and give up pride and humble myself. After that experience, everything has been different. We had our companionship inventory on Thursday and as I apologized to my companions for my lack of patience and humility and helpfulness, they cried and said that they had been praying for me to have a change of heart. That was another humbling moment. On Friday I was on exchanges with some other Zone Leaders in my last zone. Keeping in mind what the Spirit had taught me we had a miraculous day. I was able to help them learn how to pray before and after teaching appointments and follow the promptings of the Spirit to find everyone at home and ready to listen to the Gospel. We taught a lady for the first time in a couple months about the Restoration and by the end of it she was so excited to be baptized! She accepted a baptismal date and kept talking about how important the authority is. I have never seen someone understand the Apostasy as well as her and that is what made the lesson so powerful. We also taught a returning less-active about indexing and family history. As we watched the new indexing video that the church recently released, I felt the Holy Ghost very strongly and received the prompting to ask the man about deceased ancestors that have been on his mind recently. He said he had been thinking about his mother constantly. The Spirit than gave me the words. I looked at him and said, "Heavenly Father just told me that your mother has accepted the Gospel on the other side of the veil and is waiting to get out of prison. She needs you to do her work so that she can be released. The reason that you are coming back to church is because she has touched your heart and helped you turn your heart to the Lord. You need to go back to the temple and have her work done". That man felt it. He knew without a doubt that the words were from the Lord and I could see in his eyes that he had the conviction to follow and obey those feelings. On Saturday morning, during our companionship study, we were taught fully and completely by the Holy Ghost. There were two really big factors that played into the experience that we had. The first factor is that I received a letter from Sara McGill that had a number of Jane's emails home. As I read through the experiences she is having and the faith that she is demonstrating and he love of the Gospel and Savior, it brought the Spirit and reminded me just how true this work really is. The second factor is that Dad sent me a letter about ministering angles and miracles in Moroni 7. So Saturday morning as we began companionship study I felt like I should bring Dad's letter with me. We had a really good study for the normal hour and then right as we knelt down to say the closing prayer, I looked at the letter and asked if I could share something with them. I explained the letter and the verses in Moroni 7. We opened the scriptures and began to read: 30 For behold, they are subject unto him, to minister according tothe word of his command, showing themselves unto them of strongfaith and a firm mind in every form of agodliness. 31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance,and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father,which he hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the wayamong the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ untothe achosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear testimony of him. 32 And by so doing, the Lord God prepareth the way that thearesidue of men may have bfaith in Christ, that the Holy Ghostmay have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof;and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenantswhich he hath made unto the children of men. 33 And Christ hath said: aIf ye will have bfaith in me ye shall havepower to do whatsoever thing is cexpedient in me. 34 And he hath said: aRepent all ye ends of the earth, and comeunto me, and be baptized in my name, and have faith in me, that ye may be saved. 35 And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that thesethings are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will showunto you, with apower and great glory at the last bday, that theyare true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased? After the first verse, the Spirit came. I know I always say that it was the most powerful or something I have never experienced, but this time, it really was unique. A flood of thoughts and scriptures rushed into my mind and my understanding was enlightened. I don't know how to explain it other than that. For the next hour we read from scriptures all over the Book of Mormon about angels participating in this work. It was a wonderfully sweet experience. The Spirit was so constant and taught us all that this really is the Lord's work. I was overwhelmed by the power of what we were learning and feeling. As we then went and proselyted, I understood in an entirely different way the importance of this work and the joy it is to participate in it. There are too many miracles to describe them all. Please keep praying for Marcelo. He is progressing and understands really well but doesn't want to change. Please pray that he will have a change of heart. Please also pray that Marta will understand the apostasy and restoration. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth and that this is indeed the Church of Jesus Christ. I know that angels minister to men in our day. I felt them minister to me in a very real way this weekend. I know that as they minister unto us, they give us our testimonies which then allow us to "bear testimony of him" to the entire world. I know that God loves us, that He sent His Son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world to suffer and live and die and live again, so that we can be saved if we will repent. I know that this is God's very work and that it will, as Joseph Smith said, "go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime,swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of Godshall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done". What a wonderful time to live in the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. I love you all and am so grateful for your prayers. Love, Elder Case

It's All About Faith

Dear Family,

Last P-Day we finally gave in to the temptation and bought tennis rackets. We have played every morning since then for exercise and it is a blast. I am grateful that Mary talked me into playing tennis in high school. Also, I am beginning to understand why Stephen was always sending pictures of the sunrise and sunset home. As I love Texas more and more, it just becomes more beautiful to me. It has been the place of the mission of my dreams and I love everything about it: the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes that came out in full bliss this week, the people, and the Spirit.

In Mosiah 18 after explaining all about our baptismal covenant and how the people were baptized there and the joy and the peace they had due to their association with the church of God, we read in verse 30:

 30 And now it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the ^awaters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall ^bsing to his praise forever. 

As I have been here in Houston, what once was a trashy, ghetto, smelly and hot city of millions of people has now become beautiful to my eyes because I have been able to come to the knowledge of my Redeemer and help others to come to that same knowledge as well. What a blessing and joy it is to participate in this Gospel work!

Eduardo Colon was called to be the 1st Counselor in the Young Men's Presidency on Sunday and he is so excited about it! The Colons hold a special place in my heart. I have known them now since last September and have had the joy of participating in their conversion from the beginning. Every time I see any member of their family I understand a little better the joy spoken of in D&C 18 when it refers to bringing souls unto Christ.

This past weekend, as a mission we baptized and confirmed 3 people. We have more than 100 companionships and the Lord has asked us to baptize weekly in each companionship and we had a meager 3 baptisms and confirmations. It was hard to accept that last night as we were texted the numbers and as we spoke with President Ashton, he just keeps saying it is all about faith. And it is. Back when we were baptizing 15-20 people a week consistently the only difference was that we believed we could baptize. We had the faith we could and so we did. I have been thinking a lot about faith all day and decided that I am getting back on the bandwagon of faith. I know that this work is true and that the Lord is really at the head. 

The other day, 1 Nephi 7:12 touched me deeply. It says,

 12 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all ^athings according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise ^bfaith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him. 

This is how it really is. The Lord can and will do all things expedient for the Salvation of His children. He wants everyone to be saved and does all in His power to save each of us. He, in His goodness and grace, allows us to participate in the work as instruments in His hands and the only condition He places upon us before we see miracles is that we have faith in Him.

What a blessing it is to be able to repent each day of the little things and rededicate ourselves each Sunday as we renew our covenant to keep the commandments and always remember Him. 

On Tuesday, we taught the boyfriend of a less-active member. We taught the Atonement and it was a powerful lesson. We returned Friday night with a member from the ward and had a wonderful lesson. Marcelo (the investigator) had read the Introduction and loved it. He understood it very well and no longer was worried about the fact that when he asked if what we were saying was that the Pope had no authority to baptize and we said no. He wanted to learn more and loved the Book of Mormon. He was thrilled to be able to read about Christ's visit here to the Americas. We have an appointment with him tomorrow night. Please pray that his heart will continued to be prepared and softened and that he will have the desire to be baptized.

I love you all. I know that this Gospel is true. The Spirit testifies of that every single day.

Love,

Elder Case 

Why the Hearts of the Fathers Turn First

Dear Family,

On Friday, we went to the temple with Eduardo Colon. He has been working on his family history and finally had a name ready (it was his father-in-law). I brought one of our family names through. His name was Lois Sturtevant, born in 1748 in Middleboro, MA. I also brought the names of the father and brother of a recently reactivated family that we have been working with. I now understand why people make such a big deal of bringing your own family names to the temple. It was such a sweet experience. Eduardo was just so excited and felt the Spirit the moment we drove into the parking lot. The entire time inside he kept saying, "I just have to bring Kimberly (his wife) here". She was working and couldn't make it.

President Crane was kind enough to come down to the baptistery and talk to Eduardo for a while. It was only us missionaries and Eduardo and the temple workers and President Crane just began teaching the doctrine of family history and temple work. It was powerful. He explained why the scripture says that the hearts of the fathers turn to the children before the hearts of the children turn towards their fathers. He said this is because those who have passed away and are taught and accept the Gospel are then stuck in prison waiting for us to do their work for them. He then looked at me and said, "Elder if you were in prison and someone came and paid for you to get out, how would you feel about that person and what would you be willing to do for them?" I answered and then he said, "Those spirits for whom we do this work are in prison and cannot progress. They are damned. If their family members on this side of the veil are not members, then they began to pray for them to accept the Gospel. They inspire the missionaries and the members to begin sharing the Gospel with them and helping them prepare to go to the temple. Thus, the hearts of the fathers turn to their children so that their work will be done and as their descendants accept the Gospel, they then turn their hearts towards their fathers as they do their family history and temple work. We become saviors on Mount Zion for these spirits and for the rest of our lives, they pray for us and protect us and bring the Holy Ghost into our lives". 

I just couldn't imagine any greater blessings than angels praying for and surrounding us in every moment (D&C 84:88). President Crane also quoted Elder Nelson saying that doing our family history work and going to the temple is "a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in our lives". We just keep on teaching people about family history work, promising them that angels will be present in every lesson, and trusting that the Holy Ghost and Spirit of Elijah will begin to work in their lives. The Gospel is just so wonderful and so true!

Eduardo Colon then bore his testimony on Sunday in Sacrament Meeting about the temple and how much he wants to return. It strengthened my testimony to know that the Gospel is not only true for me and our family, but for every single one of Heavenly Father's children here on the earth. There is no greater cause in which we can ever be engaged than the salvation of souls. Whether it be as parents saving children, children saving parents, missionaries, temple workers, family history enthusiast, or disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing the Gospel and helping others come unto Christ bring joy, peace, happiness, and a thrill that cannot be found anywhere or in anything else in the entire world.

We began teaching a new family this week. La familia Vencez. The dad doesn't want anything to do with the Gospel, but the mom, two daughters, and son are all very interested and want to learn more. Please pray for them. That they will feel the Spirit and have a desire to be baptized. Also, please pray that Hermano Cabanzo will have his heart softened and stop drinking coffee. If he gets on board his whole family will be baptized. They have been investigating for 10 years and have almost been baptized 2 or 3 times. He is in the same situation that Eduardo Colon was in and when Eduardo stopped drinking coffee, it allowed him to receive the grace and the mercy that he needed to finally be baptized.

We had our mission wide fast this Sunday. All members and missionaries in the mission boundaries fasted that the members would have the opportunity, courage, and words to invite a non-member during the month of September to either 1) come to church, 2) receive the missionary lessons in the member's home, or 3) receive service from the missionaries. I know that great miracles will come as a result to this fast.

We will finish teaching all the missionary lessons to the bishopric tomorrow night. It seemed funny to me at first that we would be teaching arguably the most active people in the ward the missionary lessons, but the blessings have been immense. We have found many many new investigators, and the second counselor must have been thrilled as he conducted Sacrament Meeting on Sunday to see his family there for the first time in years. His wife, two daughters, and grandson all came as a result of feeling the Spirit and being invited as we have taught them.

What marvelous blessings we have in this Gospel. I know that this work is true and that it brings more happiness than anything else the world could ever offer.

I love you all and am grateful for your prayers,

Elder Case

P.S. We played kickball and baseball with the youth and their friends yesterday for a Labor Day activity.

It Shall Be Given You...What Ye Shall Say

Dear Family, So many miracles and wonderful blessings happened this week. I will give you a run through of the schedule and then share some experiences. Monday: At night we met in the Bishop's home with his counselors and our Ward Mission Leader. We presented our plan to him to teach all the members of the ward and he loved it! It could not have gone better. Tuesday: We had our first Zone Conference and then went to our Stake President's home with 3 zone leaders in the stake and the high counselor over missionary work and presented a plan for the stake based on the revelation received from President Ashton and our Mission Leadership Council. That meeting went extremely well and Presidente Portillo is 100% on board. Wednesday: Another Zone Conference and then we taught the Bishop and his family in their home. Elder Johnson and I taught together for the first time. We taught the Restoration. It was the most powerful Restoration lesson I have ever been present for. Thursday: Zone Conference back in Clear Lake (my English area). I got to see all the youth I used to serve around. After the conference we were running around doing housing things for the mission. During the conference Elder Johnson and I felt prompted to demonstrate teaching the Atonement for the missionaries. We had not done this in the prior conferences and the Spirit came so strongly. Friday: The final Zone Conference, we taught the Atonement again and then taught our second counselor and his less-active family the Plan of Salvation. After that we went to teach one of Elder Johnson's investigators being led there by the Spirit. Now that I think about it, it was just like Nephi. We were led by the Spirit not knowing beforehand what we should do. We just showed up and asked why Heavenly Father wanted us there. Then had the most powerful lesson of my entire mission. 30 Seconds into the lesson, the Holy Ghost came, and He stayed the entire duration. For one solid hour I felt the Spirit constantly. I have never born testimony so boldly or powerfully. At the very very end, I looked into this young man's eyes and told him the things I know to be true. I could see in his eyes that his soul was touched profoundly. It was amazing. Saturday: We didn't have anything planned so we prayed, changed into our service clothes, serve the members of the ward, and found a new investigator and taught 2 lessons. I love that God answers prayers. Sunday: At church, a missionary homecoming talk. He trained one of my good friends in California. we went to eat with a member and they had invited our investigators. We taught about the Priesthood and gave back to school blessings. We then went to a meeting with the Stake President, all the Bishops, and all the Ward Mission Leaders. The Stake President presented our plan literally word for word. It was so great. The work is moving forward! I know this Gospel is true. We are working with ward and stakes just likes we have been asked to do. As we have worked under the keys of the Priesthood, a new power has entered into the work. I love you all and am so grateful for your prayers. Elder Case

Members & Conversion

On the left is Elder Jarvis (my new companion). He is a visa waiter going to Brazil but this is his 4th transfer and we are trying to get him reassigned to our mission so we thought we would have him become a Spanish rather than English missionary. Great elder. He is from Orem, UT.

Dear Family,

 

Not much has happened since Saturday night but thank you for your prayers. The Ward Council accepted our plan to teach the members and are rather enthused about the idea. We are meeting with them tonight to work out the details. 

 

Last night we visited a less-active couple, watched a video from the missionary broadcast with them and invited them to participate in our mission-wide fast to have missionary opportunities in the month of September. They felt the Spirit, agreed to fast with us (for the first time in 10 years), and then proceeded to call their friends while we were still there telling them that the missionaries were going to stop by. The wife committed to invite a close friend to their home this Friday so we can stop by and give the friend's sick son a Priesthood blessing. It is amazing to see the Spirit work in people's lives.

 

This couple also said that they would be fasting so that the wife could find a new job and not work on Sunday so they can start coming to church and preparing to go to the temple. I know that this Gospel is true and that it changes people.

 

Last night we also visited another member that is semi-active. She has 2 daughters, a 14 and 15-year old. One is a member and the other is not. We brought the Young Women's President with us and had a wonderful Restoration lesson and invited them both to pray to know if what we had shared is true. It made me think about how important that is. There is a line in the missionary version of the Joseph Smith movie where Lucy Mack Smith says, "You must ask God that knowledge that man cannot give, nor take away" (something like that). I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that I can testify to all that I have asked, that I continue to ask, and I will always ask if Joseph Smith was a Prophet and that the answer will always be, "Yes!" I know the Gospel is true. 

 

I love you all. We have Zone Conferences starting tomorrow for the rest of the week. That will be busy but fun. Please pray that they will go well and that the missionaries will learn through the Holy Ghost.

 

Love,

Elder Case

Smart Phones, Desires, Testimonies and Softening the Hearts

Dear Family,

 

Sorry I am emailing so late in the week and so late at night. It was transfer week and we were busy. It went extremely well other than Salt Lake cancelling one of the elders return flights and him not being able to check in (I had the fun assignment of calling church travel and working that one out and then calling his family), there were three different arriving groups (visa waiters, Provo MTC, and Mexico MTC) and two of the planes were late, and all the departing missionaries flying back to Utah got to talking during their lay over in Phoenix and missed their flights (we almost just sent them all to stay at our house with mom, dad and Bex).

 

After so much time of constant going and lack of sleep, President Ashton and Elder Nilsen (our Housing Coordinator and President Ashton's good friend) took us golfing Thursday afternoon to relax. I learned that golf is not how I relax. It was fun though and we decided to make it a day after transfer tradition.

 

On Friday, we had Mission Leadership Council all day. That was best missionary meeting I have been to in the field. The Spirit taught me and testified and comforted and I left know what I needed to do and who I need to be. President Ashton on December 24, 2012 told the mission that he had received revelation that it is God's will that we baptize 1,000 people in the year 2013. By the end of August we will be at 300. That gives us 20 weeks to baptize 700 people. We are doing a mission wide fast (all members and missionaries) on September 1st in order to make this happen. The revelation I received during the meeting was what my part is in accomplishing the Lord's will.

 

Missionary work here is incredibly different than six months ago. Instead of us doing the missionary work and letting the members save the members, we now try to save the members and put them in charge of missionary work. As you can imagine there are some major changes to work out with that, but the results have been quite interesting. We rolled out a plan with Hermano Perez (the Ward Mission Leader) to teach every single family in our ward all the missionary discussions in their homes by the end of the year. We will start with the bishopric and then work through the Ward Council and on down the line. As we have been teaching members, it has been shocking to see how many members don't pay tithing, don't read the scriptures, don't fully keep the Word of Wisdom, and overall just aren't converted. We are presenting the plan to the Ward Council in the morning and then having a Noche de Hogar with the bishopric on Monday. Please pray that the Spirit will be there and that they will understand the vision of missionary work in these the last days.

 

The idea behind this plan is that instead of having 2-6 missionaries in charge of finding, teaching, and baptizing in a ward that has thousands of non-members living in the boundaries, we are going to go teach and strengthen 300 members and have them do all the work for us. The miracles that we have seen already are powerful.

 

So we aren't really teaching investigators right now. But have been teaching and testifying of Family History, the Atonement, and repentance to those who are struggling to keep their baptismal covenants. Tonight we went to go teach a family where the kids (all teenagers and one returned missionary) are active but the mom works most Sunday's and the dad refuses to go.

 

The kids weren't home and when we got there the mom was on the phone the whole time. The dad has one of the hardest hearts I have encountered on my mission and he generally screams and argues and fights during the lessons saying that he can't change and so on and so on. Tonight began about the same as always but after letting him talk for 15 minutes, we asked if we could say a prayer. I offered the prayer and prayed for every single thing their family needed. As a side note, I have found that that does wonders to change people's attitude towards me. After the prayer, it was silent for almost a full minute. I then looked at the hermano and bore my testimony. The Spirit came and after months of meeting with him, his heart was touched. The lesson was so different! He was calm, he stopped lying to us about being tricked into being baptized and told us that he had been really active in the church and had loved the church when we was living in Mesa. He told us his real problem and we scheduled an appointment with the Bishop for next week.

 

It was an incredible experience to be able to be used in the Lord's hands convey the Holy Ghost to one of Heavenly Father's sons.

 

We have been talking about desires a lot recently and I just want to desire God's will. There is nothing more rewarding or worthwhile in the world. 

 

Elder Johnson and I have smart phones. We still have no idea when we as a mission will get the new rollout of Facebook and tablets and smart phones, but we asked the right questions and now have smart phones with the LDS Gospel Library. That makes studies very effective. 

 

So much more to say, but it is late and we are going to bed.

 

I love you all and could not be more grateful for my family. Thank you for all the emails this week.

 

Love,

Turning the Hearts to the Fathers and the Children

Dear Family,

This has been another wonderful week full of Gospel learning and being taught by the Spirit. Last night we went to one of my favorite families in my area. It is the Navarro family. They all reactivated (except the father) in February before I got here and now are one of the most solid families in the ward. We taught them about Family History about a month ago and when we did it with them they found a name and had it ready to bring to the temple. Last night when we stop by at 7:00 PM the all looked blurry eyed and proudly told us that as a family they had been working on family history since they got home from church at 3:00 PM. I was shocked. We haven't even talked with them since the first day we did it, but the Spirit of Elijah began working with them and their hearts have begun to be turned. It is pretty incredible.

They now have four names ready to take to the temple, three of which are male. They told me that they haven't been able to find someone yet who they trust enough to go to the temple and asked if I would do it and then come back and report to them the feelings and experiences I have. This will work wonderfully because I am going to the temple with the Colons in two weeks to do baptisms for the dead with them for the first time. They also will be bringing their own family names. What an honor and privilege we have as members of the church to go to the temples. As a missionary, the temple has come to mean much more because it represents the garners that the scriptures speak of. So after people are harvested (baptized) we then have to do all in our power to gather them in the garners (the temples) in order for them to have a real chance at staying active in the Gospel. That is the key.

Other that that, I read a talk this week entitled "The Divine Companionship" by Elder Holland. It really touched me. He talks about having a divine companionship in which we all get along with our companions but he talks even more about allowing the Spirit to be the senior companion in our companionship. That is the part that got me. I decided I was going to make a more concerted effort to invite, recognize and then follow the quiet promptings of the Spirit. It has been an incredible week because of that. As I have prayed and studied or taught and testified, their has been a difference. A new power and love and fervor has entered into my soul. 

I hope you all feel these same feelings. Continuing revelation is real. It comes all the time as we ask, seek and knock. Thank you for your prayers. I often think about how many people there are praying for me and my success. It makes it feel nearly impossible to ever doubt or lack the faith to see the miracle.

I love you and apologize for the short email. we are going to the alligator park again today.
