What A Week

Hey Guys 



This week was an interesting one. Up and down it was. We met with  Louis and asked if he wants to get baptized! He said he does! We  also had an awesome lesson with Bianca and when we were teaching  her the Plan of Salvation, she was asking very deep questions….so  we didn't get through the whole thing. Either way, it was a really good  lesson.  



Lots of knocking this week and we got 2 new people to teach. When I  was on an exchange with one of the ZL’s (zone leader), as we were  leaving, I had an impression that we aren’t done here. I said we aren’t  done, we’re gonna keep knocking this street. As we stopped at the  last house, that was the one! We knocked on the door and someone  who was doing house care for the old lady who lived there was super  interested and said she wants a Book of Mormon! Sounds too good  to be true!  



When it comes to prompting it is always a good rule of thumb to  follow them if it's a good thing. We also gave another blessing to a 8  month old baby and it was hard to go and see her. She had lots of  tubes and reminded me of seeing Abbie in the hospital. As we gave  the blessing the spirit was VERY strong. I'm very grateful we got to  give another blessing there, I'm also very grateful to be worthy and  hold God's Priesthood. As Luke 1:37 says, 

"For with God, nothing shall be impossible.” Amen.  



Anyway, we had a scary incident at zone p-day. Sister Barrington who  is one of the senior couples fell and hit her head. Apparently I was the  only one who had oil….so I gave her a blessing, so grateful for the  opportunities I have had this week.  



I know this work is important and I am grateful for how much I have  already learned and grown. One thing is, don't forget to pray!! God  wants to helps us and he wants us to ask for help :)) Besides the  cold and the knocking it was a week I won't forget. 

Till next week….. adios ladies and gents

Winner's New Year

Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. I love this scripture because at the end it says "Come follow me." It's at the end, which sometimes in life it seems last minute, last time we try, last thing we do, is our answer or our chance to "change things." How many last chances are we going to get? How many times can we make the same mistake? How many times are we going to stay the same? How many times do we need to be told what to do? I really hope 2024 is a year that we all grow a lot, grow spiritually, physically, and mentally. Let’s take up our cross and bear it, let's give up that thing we know we don’t want too, "because it is too hard”. Let’s face that trial, face our fears,”Don't let your fear decide your fate." Even though some of the motivation we have is from the date cha...

The Difference

Image
Think of the difference of your life without the Gospel and Jesus Christ's example.  Where would you be now?   What would you be doing?   How much different would your life be?   All that you know, the things that bring you peace, the things you enjoy you have been  blessed with, with all this you have, has it changed you?   One of the hardest things to do in life is change. I’ve reflected on how much the Gospel  has changed me. I feel like I've had 5 years of experience with having only being out for  what feels like a few months.   The Gospel helps us change when we follow it and live it, the change comes naturally  as God blesses us when we try to become like the Son.   As I look back from week to week, I see the change, though little, I see how each week  the Gospel helps me "overcome the world and find rest." It helps me know that we are  all children of God, and divine.  Those deep ...

New Perspective

Image
I am in Detriot. The city. Downtown. Talk about New Perspective. The adjustment has been an interesting one, but I love it. This will most likely be the last area I serve in. I have moved up closer to some of my favorite missionaries. As I reflect on my mission, my perspective has changed in life completely. Perspective is the way we see things when we look at them from a certain distance and it allows us to appreciate their true value and act accordingly. An example, you don't know how much you miss someone until you don't get to spend as much time with them... Distance kills what's fake and shows you what's real. Perspective is the window you look through to perceive everything. Is your window clean or dirty? Perspective helps you to know where you are now and where you want to go. While you're on the path, are you going to be looking for the tools on the way or the obstacles? Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools...
