Let’s roll 😎
MIRACLE
So we have this friend. She’s 15 and we have been teaching her for a while. Her mom and dad and sisters have been interested but also hate the church and religion so that’s been an obstacle. Anyways we lately the family has come to the baptisms, and the ward activities, and sacrament meeting the past couple weeks. And yesterday was just the icing on the cake. Testimony meeting was so powerful. Every testimony was genuine and divinely inspired. No one in that room could deny the spirit that was there. I could just tell. I could see their personas change. I could tell they were feeling the spirit and the light in their eyes was just ugh. I knew their hearts were being softened. Next thing we know, our friend had told one of the young women that she wants to be baptized and her parents too!!!! But it’s a secret still. After church they invited us to their house this next Saturday!!! And this whole time that haven’t let us come over and they haven’t wanted to meet! So this is just AMAZING! Me and my companion are planning and studying so diligently so be able to have the spirit with us in this coming lesson. We are going to extend the invitation to be baptized! Oh my… I just can’t believe it. This is God’s work and these are His children! He is the Shepherd and He knows His sheep. He will go searching for the “one.” Even if it’s the only one.
There is so much power in the spirit and in bearing testimony. I can’t deny it and I will never deny it.
BLESSINGS
We had transfers obviously, my new companion is amazing, I love her so much she is a blessing and an answer to prayers. We have so much in common and we can laugh and have fun while working so hard. I am dead tired at the end of the day. I’m gonna be honest, I feel great about last transfer and my last companion. I can say that I feel like I learned what God wanted me to learn in that time and I’m so grateful for that. Even though transfers can be hard, I have peace of mind. I’m not content (I know there is so much more to learn) but even if the rest of my mission I don’t learn anything else, I would be satisfied with what I have gained so far and I would do it again. (Hmm jk lol) I was super mindful of the Lord and turning to Him in every situation. To explain how much I have grown in the past 13 weeks is impossible. It’s immeasurable, intangible, and indescribable. And I just can’t get over how blessed I am to be able to be here and to keep learning for the next 15 months.
Ok why did I tell you that? My point is, everything happens for a reason and there is a season to everything. God is in the details of our lives and has divinely planned every detail of our lives. Seasons come and go. Don’t miss out on what the Lord is trying to teach you. Whether we are in a season of trial or a season of prosperity, we have things to learn. So always be humble and turn to God. Pray to be able to learn what you need to learn. Pray for anything you stand in need of for He already knows before we even ask. But the contract is that we humble ourselves and ask Him for it.
LISTEN TO ME
If there is one thing I can testify of right now, it’s that God hears and answers our prayers. I prayed to have charity, to know what to say, to know what to study, to know where to go. I prayed to just help me feel comfortable. I acknowledged that I couldn’t do it on my own and I don’t have the capacity in my mortal state to do what you need me to do. And He was there every single time. Without fail. I could look back at a situation and wonder “How did that just happen?” And my heart burns every time because I know the Lord is with me, supporting me and directing me for good. Always remember Him and remember to thank Him. And these sacred moments when I know that He is real, and that He is doing His work, is when I feel true joy – even a fullness of Joy. And I just take a moment and think, wow, God is real, He knows me and He heard me. I pray that everyone can build a relationship with Heavenly Father. This knowledge and this relationship is more valuable than any earthly thing. No one can steal it, it can’t tarnish and it can rust.
Sorry I didn’t mean to get preachy, but there’s nothing else I want to talk about. There’s nothing else that really matters. So anyways, love you all, keep praying for me, I feel the power from your prayers. I’ll keep praying for you. Time is flying. I can’t believe I only have 14 fast Sundays left as a missionary. I can’t believe I only have 11 transfers left. I can’t believe I only have 458 days left to be authorized to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and bring people to Christ. Lol I’m not counting down I’m savoring the days I have left. 🤗🤧💟
Also can y’all wake up there’s no one to talk to lol. Ok love you byeeeeee
