Hello from Ponce De Leon!‏

Hey y'all,

How y'all doing? I'll start by saying sorry... this is going to be short. This key-board is messed up so it takes me FOREVER to type anything up.

Did y'all get the chance to go and see the first Presidency broadcast this Sunday? I sure hope so!!! It was AMAZING!!! If you missed it... go find it! Watch it! Pray about the things they talked about and the things you learned.

There's so many things I want to talk about today... but since I'll only be able to talk about one today... and go with this:

FOLLOW PROMPTINGS FROM THE HOLY GHOST

Story to go along with this... (long story short)... the 2nd councilor here in the ward told us to go visit a lady he home teaches after church this last Sunday... said he felt like she needed a visit. We changed our plans and went... we get there and she asks for our help in cleaning out her freezer. We quickly agree thinking its just a few small things... NOPE! Turns out the freezer was packed with meat... and it had been spoiled completely over the course of at least a week... the place smelled so bad that after we opened the freezer to clean it out, you could smell the stink a good 20 yards outside the front door. Maggots, flies, all sorts of nasty stuff was in there... it made the place unlivable it smelled so bad. This lady has 3 young daughters too... so we dropped our plans and ended up cleaning the thing out for the next 3 hours... we got it done though!

Moral of the story... if the original prompting hadn't been followed, that lady and her 3 daughters would've been in that house with that terrible situation... but because he had the ability to not only hear the spirit/prompting but then had the courage to act upon it, the Lord was able to provide a way to help that family. Always follow promptings... it will bless the lives of others and your own. Don't be afraid to do so either! (Joshua 1:9).

One last note... pray often! Pray for specifics!!

I love you.... I love you all so much. Love everyone, love the Lord.

-Elder Wahlen
