Stand for Right

This past week i haven't too many adventures, but overall it was a really great week. To start off the week, on Wednesday we went down to Calexico to have an appointment with a deaf man named Javier. We went to his house, we met up with the spanish sisters, because they found him. We said a quick prayer, then we rang the doorbell. He came to the door, the sisters were like "that is him". they said hi and did a quick wave and Javier made it clear he was deaf. That is when i stepped into play. I started a conversation with him and we had a great time. I interpreted for everyone and it went well. We asked him if he was interested in us talking to him about Christ and his gospel, but he said he was really sorry, but he is a Jehovah Witness and he is not interested. We said it was all good. We also asked him if he had any deaf friends who we could see if they were interested. He gave us a name and address of one of his friends. We later checked that out after we finished with Javier, and no one was home, but we are going to keep trying. Other than that, nothing exciting has happened for me. We have had a few appointments with investigators, but most of our solid investigators were either super busy, sick, or out of town this week. So not a lot happened. We did have the Christmas Devotional on Sunday that we went to. We were able to watch it at a member's house. It was such an uplifting and wonder messages. It is available on lds.org if you missed it. So go check it out. And during this Christmas season, let's remember the true meaning of Christmas and how Christ is the Gift. This past week as i was reading the Book of Mormon, I came to chapter 44. This is a big battle scene with Zerahemnah. This is a scene where Moroni stands up for the truth. Because of this God made if so that they were victorious. Later on in chapter 48 it says of how if we were to be like Moroni, then Satan would have no power over us. How are we able to be like Moroni and stop Satan? We need to put on the full armor of God. As we do so we will be protected from the dangers of Satan. We will be victorious over him. We need to put on that armor and stand for the right. I know that is true and that as we do so, we can stop the temptations of Satan. Hope you all have a fantastic week!! Love you lots, Love Elder Betts
