This week the Lord answered one of my prayers
really quick. I was having trouble understanding what we are suppose
to say when we get to the door or walk up to someone, what we are
suppose to say and i just didn't know what I was going to say to people
in 4 days. So I said a prayer asking for help and then I just pulled out
my preach my gospel and boom first page I flip to was perfect for the
situation. It was so awesome. So we went to the temple and in the
visitors center we were taught how to give someone a Book Of Mormon on
the street and I learned exactly what I needed to say and they had me do
it for all the missionarys in our zone! It was sweet! Just another
answer!
I love it here so much and I am so
happy to be here! I have gained an extremely large testimony being here
and It is amazing being able to talk to real investigators on Wednesdays
and I actually know how to listen to the spirit!
We
had a devotional one of the first days we were here and it really stood
out to me. It was Elder Bednar and he was talking about the spirit and
what it is. One thing he said made me realize. He said listen the first
thing that comes to your mind. Trust yourself and have faith that the
Lord won't lead you astray. Trust the voice in your head that says go
help that old lady on the street or smile at someone or do something to
make someones day. You could be saving their life.
Yesterday I shared how I gained my testimony with a Member from Mexico and he
cried. I also cried but don't tell. It's the first time I shared that
story since being here and it felt amazing to remind myself why I am
here and why its so important to pray all the time...
One
of my prayers has been to try and Love every single person all the
time. I've had a couple of people that do that and I can see that that's
the person I want to be. While doing this I think I learned a lesson
that if you ask for something the Lord might not just give it to you but
he might test you and make it a little bit tough but that's how you gain
something like that.
Sorry my email was so
long! I hope everything is good at home!! I'm still having a blast and I
leave here in 4 days! Next time I email I'll be somewhere in the
Guadalajara East mission speaking mucho Spanish! Adios Muchachos!
