GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!
I hear you're all doing pretty amazing things out in the world. Facing many challenges and overcoming weakness.
Oh how I look up to you all!!!!
This week was a tough one.. A week where the words from many people back home ran throughout my mind " serving a mission is HARD!" A week were the feelings of inadequacy ran through my bloodstream. Where my heart couldn't seem to keep itself together. This week I found myself in mosiah 23-24. And what I love about it is even though we might be doing good things and living righteously the lord still seeth fit to test and try our faith and patience. But when we put our trust in the lord & when we call upon Him for help we will be lifted up. When we choose Him he will make our burdens light. I love that He gives us these challenges to make us stronger and I love that he doesn't leave us to work through these challenges alone. He is with us every step of the way. He doesn't leave us in our tough times. HE IS THERE. HE LOVES YOU. HE KNOWS YOU. We are placed on earth to be tried and tested. "Our response to life’s experiences will often greatly influence our testimonies."- Elder James B. Martino
We must look forward with faith and a positive attitude as we go through out our trials. YOUR ATTITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING ..so hey, smile:)
A moment of happiness. the most heart warming feeling I felt this week. Simple but CRAZY powerful..this sorry might steer off into so many different directions..but I hope you can bare with me as I try and express my feelings here. One early morning this week I was studying for our peeps and I came across the Mormon message "mountains to climb" and felt the strongest feeling I needed to share it with one of our investigators that day but I couldn't quite pin point it on who actually needed it. I stared and stared at our appointments for the day but I could not figure out who to share it with. As the day rolled along we were driving to one of our appointments and as we were driving into the parking lot we had a feeling to reschedule and go visit one of our members...we ended up showing her the video I had come across that morning. In the end she was in tears! She looked up at us and said " you guys are my angels. You always come EXACTLY when I need you most, this video is EXACTLY what I needed to hear." What a beautiful indescribable feeling it is..to be a vessel in the Lords work. The spirit is REAL.
Also..We had our first investigator come to church with his family this week. WOW. What a cool feeling!!
Les quiero.
