Okay let us talk about this crazy week I have had. The
only way I know how to describe it is going into freezing cold water and
then jumping into a pit of fire but then running out unscathed and into
a train station to go to NoEntiendoEspanol Land where everyone speaks
german
,
eat
s
italian food with chop sticks and run
s
around with
their shirts on backwards and pants on their heads........It has been an
interesting week to say the least.
This
S
unday
we had a cool devotional about being a good missionary, Then
some of my district and I watched Ephrim's rescue, which is a movie about the
saints that traveled over the plains. If you have not seen it...you need
to! The experience and blessings of that time were astronomical. It made
me reflect if I really believed that miracles could happen in my life
or even on my mission. Did i believe that God was watching over me and
preparing me for moments I would need to be worthy for? Interesting. I
came up with that i could have those miracles in my life! And so can
you! AMAZING!
Monday
was a fun day just because everyone was leaving and
I
could get through
the lunch line faster...it's the little things that bring the most
joy;)
Tuesday
was astronomical!!!!! Neil L Anderson came and spoke to us!!!! It was
filled with so much power and interesting topics! He talked about how
the mission field is not complex but it is not easy. If you push
yourself and prepare a way the spirit can guide you to make those
choices you need to to be the best missionary you can. This isn
'
t just
for me!
E
veryone needs to be a missionary. That is why we are he
re
on
this earth. And you don't have to be a Mormon to be a missioanary! You
can tell others of christ and what he did for us! That is all
I
am
doing! That is my purpose to invite others to come closer to christ!
That is why we are all here! He also talked about how we should love the
people we serve. Once we do that the language will come and we will be
blessed! He also said for us to be Three things...BE clean BE obedient
BE busy! That is great for missionaries! The rest of the week was a
roller coaster!
This
I was scared that
F
riday, the 12th, my district got their
flight plans. We were all really animado to get them. I was sitting by
the mail room just waiting for the note that would send me to
A
rgentina...and it didn
'
t come.
E
veryone in my district got their flight
plans and
I
was alone.I was scared that
I
was forgotten...How could
my entire district get it but not me? I was kinda frustrated but then
I
remembered that
I
was thinking about me and myself and that is not how
my mission will be. So
I
said a quick prayer and felt the paz (peace) of
G
od and I rejoiced with my district that they were headed to the place
the gospel needed them most! It was such a great experience! |
