WHAT A GREAT WEEK! This week had so many miracles and tender mercies. Even though it was the roughest week on my mission I'm grateful for every single second of it. I'm grateful for the challenges. I know that they are consecrated for my gain and for the gain of others. I've been really focusing on Remembering Him and Gratitude. This week has shown me why.
Even when things are thrown your way or challenges and frustrating moments come up. We can always remember Christ and focus on His Love and how we can turn outward as He does.
The Infinite is something I've been reading at night before bed and I love everything it teaches. I KNOW CHRIST LIVES! I KNOW HIS ATONEMENT IS PERFECT AND A GIFT TO YOU AND ME. He is the way the truth and the Light. We can not dwell in the presence of God until we become perfect even as He is. We need to accept Christ Gift and let us change us. It truly does strengthen us. I am a modern witness of that. It is because of Him that I can overcome trials and tribulations. It's because of Him I can grow to be better everyday. It's because of Him that I'm on a mission and helping and loving so many people. I indeed am Eternally grateful.
This week we've been teaching Christen and Her Family. It has truly been fantastic! We taught the Word of Wisdom yesterday and it was emotional. She personally struggles with some things but she broke down in tears as she accepted our invitation to obey the Word of Wisdom. We cried with her testifying and promising her the blessings that are hers. I love that family with all my heart.
We found another amazing family. It is a family of 6. We had the opportunity to teach 5 of them. They have been through it. It's awesome reflecting and seeing that even though they have half of a trailer home that is completely ruined and smells bad. THEY ARE GODS PERFECT CHILDREN. I felt super a deep and special love for them. We taught the Restoration but first talked about the Spirit and how it feels. As we shared Joseph Smiths first vision they all broke down into tears with us. The Spirit illuminated that trailer. They shared with us how they have never felt something so POWERFUL. We testified of the Holy Ghost and the truth if Christ Restored Church and Gospel being here for them personally to become perfect and to live as a family Forever. It was unique and a sacred experience. I felt I was on Holy Ground. They have special spirits.
We had the opportunity to meet this lady names Stevie. She was so happy to see us. She said she loves us and wants to learn from us. It was great!! We are going over this week.
Oh my goodness!! Jimena. She is so sweet. We were driving down the road and saw her. We whipped the car over to her and jumped out and started talking. She met with missionaries in Puerto Rico. Her Mom never let them in but she wanted to listen. Right then and there we taught her and she loved it. Wants to meet this week.:) [MIRACLES]
Our District had a great District Council. I love each and everyone of these missionaries. They are so spectacular. They love the Lord. We talked a lot about Charity in our Council. It was incredible. I love 3 Nephi 17:6 when Christ is full of compassion for the people. He heals and then preforms miracles and angels come and minister to the kids. I love this example because I know that as we see as Christ does and work on having the gift of charity posses us we will serve those better and we in turn with be more like Christ. We will see and preform miracles!!
Our objective in this life is to become Perfect as Our Father is so that we can dwell with Him in a state of never ending happiness and endless joy. I know that it is through obedience to the laws we've been given. I know it is through continue conversion which is only by serving our fellow man. The Character of Christ is truly a gift that I hope all of us focus on and seek. I invite each of you to Pray and studying this gift. I also invite you to remember Him and Hear Him. I pray and promise that as you do so you will better serve Him and Will be converted unto the Lord and will be His disciple for Eternity.
Who can you love more this week?
How can you share the gospel with those around you? What can you do to be a better example of the Believers?
What invitation can you give others to help them come and see and come and feel?
I pray and plead with each of you to CHANGE this week. Daily Repentance is what our Savior is offering. Take His gift and use it. I love each of you. I'm grateful for these experiences. I'm grateful for His love. I'm grateful for His Church and His Gospel. I stand as a witness of Him today, tomorrow, and FOREVER!!
Love you, Conversion is Our Goal. What are you going to do?
