Foundation

If I were to tell you the many different times where I have seen evident proof of not only the existence of the great Creator, our Heavenly Father, but also of his active, merciful, and miraculous hand in his work of bringing his beloved children closer to him, this email would be never-ending. There have been many things that I have seen, heard, and experienced within the past couple weeks that I am not in the state to write but many of which occur from being precisely in the right place at precisely the right time. 

The church here in Mielec has existed for about three months and we are solidifying the foundation of the branch here as we prepare some young adults for baptsim and continue to teach a young family and others about the Perfect Gospel of their Perfect Savior. 

Recently I have come to see evidently the reality of the antagonist of God's plan. He exists and is doing everything in his power, just as he has done from before the world was, to lead God's cherished sheep away from the Good Shepard, his only Begotten Son. Just as in the early foundation of the church this "father of lies" tried to destroy the growth of the church and discourage the saints through rumors, false information, contention, pride, jealousy, and skepticism. Using the same techniques with the same goal, he is trying to halt the foundation of the church in the small, very conservative city of Mielec. We ask for your prayers on behalf of the Lord's work here. But just as the saints were eventually victorious in the establishment and exponentiation of Zion, we too shall be. In the shadows of the apostasy and lack of truth, the Savior, and his burning light will forever, just as it has, continue to ignite and spread forth as a fire to cover the four corners of this Earth. Remember to build your own foundation on this Jesus Christ of whom I speak and his perfect glorious gospel. For we all know which side wins in the end. Light always overcomes darkness.

Which side are you on?
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." Helaman 5:12

Oh remember, remember...
