New Beginnings Song

Take A Stand

By Kamden Hainsworth

I am ready; I am built upon the rock,

The war is raging among all sheep of the flock.

Here you’ll find me now, a woman filled with virtue.

Mine’s a cherished price, more than gold and Rubies too.

Here I am, sanctify, this place where I am now.

While the world fears and hides, my feet are planted on the hill.

Let fires rage, let buildings fall, I’ll be grounded through it all

Holy where I am, I will take a stand.

I feel Him coming, His spirit speaks to me

So many choices and the way is hard too see.

But anytime or place I will witness of His Love

I’ll will keep His pace, and be blessed from up above.

Here I am, sanctify, this place where I am now.

While the world fears and hides, my feet are planted on the hill.

Let fires rage, let buildings fall, I’ll be grounded through it all

Holy where I am, I will take a stand.

Try and tear my will, break my heart, you’ll never win.

The King is on my side, and I belong to Him.

So here I am, sanctify, this place where I am now.

While the world fears and hides, my feet are planted on the hill.

Let fires rage, let buildings fall, I’ll be grounded through it all

Holy where I am, in the Master’s Plan, where my steps will land, I will take a stand.

Letter: "I'm Converted"   Feb. 28, 2013

"I live in a land of miracles. So many incredible things happened this week! It was kind of a rollercoaster of emotion, but we ended it on such a spiritual high! It was a week when the Lord truly blessed us for all of our efforts and the righteous desires of our hearts.

First of all, Camila Agostina Sola got baptized! She`s nine years old, and is such a sweet girl. Like the famous Primary song, she is like a sun beam. She carries the light of Christ with her every where she goes, and I feel so grateful that I got to know her, and that I got to be one of the missionaries to help prepare her to get baptized. It was kind of a fight to get permission for her to get baptized (because she often lives with her Grandma in another pueblo) But thanks to the hand of the Lord we were able to help this sweet girl follow the example of Jesus Christ and get baptized. It was a beautiful baptismal service too...minus the fact that the hot water for the baptismal font didn´t work. :S Thank goodness it´s so hot outside, because it wasn´t a big deal. (I would send a picture, but we`re at the ciber that erased my last memory card...so I`ll send one next week.  I sent a picture of her in last week´s letter, however.)

We found an investigator this week, Andrea that has an interesting story. A little while ago she was living in Barrio Hospital, and while she lived there she met Hermana Rodriguez. She recently moved here, and then we saw her in the street one day and she recognized Hermana Rodriguez! We recognized that as a big sign that the Lord is putting both of them again in the same place. When we first talked to her, she didn`t have a job, they didn`t have any light in their house,  and she hadn`t eaten for 5 days because she didn`t have money. Heart wrenching. We taught her a little bit, read from the Book of Mormon, invited her to pray, and promised that if she would trust in the Lord that she would be delivered from all of her present afflictions. The next time we saw her she came out of the house crying at the sight of us. She said after we left the other day she prayed for help.  She was able to find a job for both her and her daughter! "He heard my prayer, chicas! She said. We´re really excited for her.

Oh. And OH my gosh. Yesterday as a day of miracles. Angie went to church! And her boyfriend! (who has been less active for yearss.) It was incredible. The members received them so well. There were 3 other less actives that came yesterday, and Camila received the Holy Ghost! We were on cloud nine.

I am converted to this gospel more and more every time I go to church. Every time I pray, hear a prophet´s voice, witness a baptism, etc. This gospel is true and I am so grateful to be able to dedicate all of my time to proclaim it! 

I love you all and hope you´re well!"
