Testimony of Faith by Elder Sean Kimball, posted by his Mom

In in Santiago now in the city! In an area called Gurabo, its sweet and it's defiantly not like bonao im in pure city....

...one experience i had was with an investigator and we talked about faith..faith is something really important to understand because faith without ¨works¨is dead...sooo we were teaching him and we used an example to explain faith..we took a book held it in our hand and said with your faith move this book...sooo after we said this he closed his eyes and tried using his faith to move it... we were like we know you have faith..move the book...omgsh i was dying he was like trying to use powers to move it..i seriously started dying laughing it was sooo bad but he took it in a good way i wasn't making fun of him..then we explained even more and we explained clearer tat faith literally without works is nothing..soo we told him to move it again with his faith and then he realized that faith is more than believing..he was soo happy after that..he's a really intelligent guy and went to university and was a professor and knew the bible..but after figuring this out he thanked us and told us he never knew that faith is works!
 
Family! Huge lesson! We gotta take things more simply..because this gospel this plan is simple..sometimes we look at things in ways we shouldn't in ways that make it difficult for us to understand.



just think simply..
 
But I wanna talk about faith! FAITH!!!
faith is the first principle it's the first of all the firstlings! seriously! faith is believing in God and Jesus Christ whom we´ve not seen or heard talk before..faith is in Moroni chapter 7! not only is it believing but it's working..for example..we pray-thats faith..we talk with a Being who we cant see...thats faith! thats works! thats showing faith...faith is soo important without it one cant ad wont enter in the waters of baptism nor receive the gift of the holy ghost nor pray nor read nor go to church....
 
Faith! Faith is something we alll need to keep nourished and cared for like in alma 32...as we read alma compares faith to a seed! We gotta nourish our faith by going to church and reading and praying...by nourishing it temptations are harder to enter into our lives..
 
Family let us show faith by praying always and reading the BOM and studying and going to church..by doing so we will by spiritually nourished and taken care of because with this faith we put on the armor of God and with our shield and sword we cant fight evils way. Faith is real..and it works through action..Christ is our Savior He lives and loves us! Have faith! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
