So this week was so
great! Other then I’m pretty sure this week was so hot I almost turned into a raisin
and nobody was home so we walked an insane amount but what ever doesn’t kill
you makes you stronger right? ha-ha but no biggy... vale la pena
Well I saw some pics
from when I was in the mtc... why didn’t anybody tell me I was so fat. I
thought that’s what friends were for! ha-ha its chill, everything right now is
different I’m totally getting skinny! not that that the only thing about life
but tbh I feel so much healthier and ill send a pic with why I feel healthier.
So this week was
seriously awesome! We gave a blessing to a lady in our ward. She is so awesome
she gives us food every Tuesday but she got a tumor in her...matrix... not sure
if that’s the exact translation but it was 12 cm big and it was harder then a
cement wall because it was taking all her calcium. They had to take out the
matrix thing and now she can’t have babies they are a young couple but have two
little kids who are very crazy. She had the surgery and then after she had so
much pain. she said that it was the worst pain she had ever felt and she literally
thought she was going to die. We got there on Tuesday morning and gave her a
blessing and then left, she barely had strength to talk or move for that
matter. She looked terrible and this was like two days after the surgery. We
left and didn’t hear anything until yesterday we went and talked to her because
she was back in her house on Wednesday afternoon but we didn’t make it until
last night and when we went she smiled when we got there and we said a few
jokes like always even though she told us she couldn’t laugh but she explained
to us that she thought she was going to die and the pain was unbearable. But
then after we came and gave her the blessing the pain was as unbearable. She
was able to stand up and walk to the bathroom and take a shower and eat after
she hadn’t eaten for 6 days and everything is healing. She told us that the
blessing is what changed everything, she had received some blessing from her
dad and her husband before us but told us that the blessing we gave her was
what saved her and I was so happy to have been apart of that! It was a great
week!!!
I read something in
the email of my amigo in Africa serving a mission that I wanted to share
"A question that I continually ask my
self is.
How much do I really
love the Savior Jesus Christ and Our Loving Heavenly Father? Right when that
clock hits 12am... It is the Lords day... The one day out of the 7 in a week
that Heavenly Father has asked us to devote to the Lord. How do I prepare
myself on the Sabbath to receive the Sacrament? There are 168 hours in a week
and The Lord has only asked for 1 full hour devoted to him. One thing to bring
in mind as well is that The Sacrament is an ordinance... It is an ordinance
just like baptism and just like getting sealed in the temple... I don't think
that anyone would want to be the slightest of late for their sealing in the
temple. That is the attitude that we should have come the Sabbath day. How much
do we really think about the Savior during the week in preparation for the
sacred ordinance of the Sacrament? We promise to always remember him. It says
so in the Sacrament Prayer.... This day is The Lords day and therefore we are
on the Lords Time. What are we doing with that time to show our appreciation
for all that he has done for us? Mission has truly changed my view on the
Sabbath but obviously if our leaders felt the need to have a General
Authorities training that lasted several days on Sabbath Day Observance then
obviously that is what the world needs. That is the CHANGE that our Heavenly
Father wants his children to make. The change of making the Sabbath into a
DELIGHT"
If we need to make
changes do it because obedience brings blessingS!!!!
Love yall!!!!
