The Fellowship of the Unashamed



                                                The Fellowship of the Unashamed


I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.  The dye has been cast.  I have stepped over the line.  The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.


I won't look back, let up, slow down , or be still.  My past is redeemed,  my present makes sense and my future is secure.  I'm finished and done with low living, small planning,
smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.  I don't have to be right first, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.  I now live by FAITH, lean on HIS presence, walk with patience,  am uplifted by prayer and labor with power.

My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear.  I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided or delayed.  I will not finch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up and shut up or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ.  I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me.  And when He returns for His own He will have no problem recognizing me.  My banner will be clear.

Happy Mother's Day!


Letter from 5/2/11
Happy Mothers Day Mom....=) i love you...
Well this email is going to be super short because right now we are going to have a barbeque for the zone...=) a little somethin to end the transfer...
by reading your emails i can see that you guys had a great week and jammed packed with things to do.. im glad Leslie and Max Had a good time in their stay... thats CRAZY about Osama Bin Laden... we finally got him...=) after 10 years No? i wish i was there to see the excitement. i was truly happy to hear...
this last week went okay... we found a few really cool people that said they would go to church with us but none of them ended up going. but in church a few Miracles came... thats what we call people who arrive on their own who investigate the church or a part member family where some of the kids aren't baptized...lol a kid named Giovanni came with his family and turns out he hasn't been baptized so we invited him to be baptized this next sunday and he agreed..=) we are pretty excited... also Alondra who was supposed to get baptized yesterday didn't because she and her boyfriend broke up on wed and well he was going to baptize her and she felt a little weird to do it... but we were able to talk to her and she told us that she would like to be baptized this coming sunday... =) its going to be my last Sunday here in the mission... crazy to think about. i am excited though. but as dad said its a bitter sweet experience.. yesterday i got up to bear my testimony and as i was up there i started to cry. i just had so many things running through my head about the mission and what has happened and as i looked at all the faces of the members i just broke down. but it was truly a special experience. i now have about 6 months here in this ward so i have gotten to know all the members and they have truly become part of my extended family. as i looked into the crowd with my teary eyes i could see that everyone else was crying too... i could truly feel the love they had for me and it gave me much comfort...
Next week i am going to be home... CRAZY!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT.....
Also i am way excited to talk to you guys on Mothers day...=) i would like you to call me at 530 my time here in Monterrey... here are the directions to call... sorry i dont have skype..lol
SO IF YOU CAN JUST FOLLOW THOSE STEPS AND CALL ME AT 530... I HOPE THERE ISNT ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT... well i'd better go but im looking forward to talking with you sunday... Love you all,
Elder Kingston
