Hola familia!!
Feb 11,
2014
What an amazing week! Yes!
I did get to say the opening prayer for the Mexico MTC dedication in front of
Elder Oaks! I was so nervous but said a prayer and felt comforted and
strengthened. Mom, thank you for your prayers on Sunday, I felt it. At
the end of my prayer, Elder Oaks stuck out his hand for a handshake, I felt the
power and the authority of his calling and was so cool to shake an apostle’s
hand! He gave a beautiful dedicatory prayer and stated that this MTC is
vital for the work of salvation and will be a great MTC in this hemisphere.
We felt so blessed to have an apostle in our presence. He gave a
talk about being proactive and not waiting for the mission leaders to find
members but to do service in any way we can. He also talked about the
great sacrifice and the faith the Mexican saints had to give up their beloved high
school. He said that Benemerito was always meant to be an MTC and was
part of our Heavenly Father’s plan. It was so powerful and felt his strong
spirit. Others gave talks too about the great high school Benemerito was
and how great this MTC will be. Many surrounding mission presidents
attended as well as many of the Seventy. It was an amazing experience!
This lady was filming us before the dedication asking us what we felt to
be in the presence of an apostle, when she came to me she asked me who my dad
was and said I looked just like him. I do not remember her name but she
worked with dad in the religion department at BYU and also came down to Benemerito
with dad a couple years ago for work. She was really nice and said she
remembered me when I was a kid. She is bringing back a video of me saying
my feelings about the dedication and said she will show it to dad. It was
amazing!
Well we are finishing up our investigators. We have two new
investigators, Cesar and Lucia. Cesar is 16 and believes all religion is
good. We have been teaching him the power of the Holy Spirit and that he
can know the Book of Mormon is true through a confirmation. Lucia is 66
and has a disease that impairs her vision and her mobility. She feels
that the church is taking away her kids and grandchildren from her because they
do not spend a lot of time with her. We taught her that family is everything
in our church and is essential to Heavenly Fathers plan. Also that the church
has devoted one day out of the week to have family home evening. Her
heart was softened and felt the spirit very strongly. We are going to
teach her the plan of salvation next visit. Well, this is my last email from
Mexico. I have learned so much here at the CCM and have felt the spirit
of the teachers and of the Lord. This place is truly sacred. Thank
you for the package! I am very excited to receive it! I love you all so
much! and I am so grateful for your
prayers. Thank you. Love you!
Con amor,
Elder Plummer
