Well,
here I am again finishing up another transfer. It´s gone by so quickly I can´t
even believe it. But so much has happened and I’ve learned so much. I see
miracles every day and I pray that I will never lose my wonder and gratitude
for what the Lord gives us every day.
Interviews with President Boswell
I don´t have much time
but this transfer has been amazing and has taught me so much about the power
and importance of this work. As I shared last week, my testimony of the
Restoration has solidified and my trust in the prophet and all the Lord´s
chosen servants. I KNOW that President Monson is called of God and that he
receives revelation from God for our day. Many things will happen in these last
days and Satan is working harder than ever. I´ve seen evidence of that more
than ever in my mission. But we will never be led astray if we follow the
prophets. Our thoughts not God´s thoughts and he knows what´s best. Yet he
wants us to understand and be able to trust in his will. If we have a question,
he has given us the resources to find answers and receive revelation and
confirmation if we search with real intent. We are agents and the Lord will
guide us as we search diligently to know his will. I´ve learned that in my
mission and especially this transfer.
I´m out of time, but a
little miracle of the week. We were trying to find a lady we had contacted and weren’t
sure where she lived for sure. We tried knocking on a door and a woman
answered. She was washing her clothes and didn´t really want to talk to us, but
we were persistent and tried to share a little message with her, even though
she wasn´t the woman we were looking for. As we kept talking she realized that
we were "Mormons" and got super excited. She told us she has friends
who are members and one time was at their house when the Elders came and shared
a message with them. She let us in and we were able to talk with her and her 3
kids. She is super excited and we invited them to be baptized which they
accepted. Now we just need to get them to come to church and they are golden.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. :)
Love you all and hope
you have a great week. We´ll see where I’m writing from next week...hopefully
still here in Chosica!!!!
Love you all so much!
