Hola!!
Well here it is my last moments of being a teenager! My teenage
years have done me well and I cannot be more thankful for the opportunity to
spend my birthday here serving the lord!!
This week it just poured every day and felt like fall. I’m
not ready for the cold weather already so hopefully Mother Nature changes her
mind! This week we had some really great lessons. Our Spanish lessons are
getting better and better and the members are so helpful coming with us to
teach! One of my favorite lessons this week and probably my mission was when we
were teaching this family from Peru whose son just recently got baptized in the
YSA here. There family is so spiritual and the spirit is always strong, but as
my amazing companion testified of the plan of salvation and that families can
be together again forever I felt like my heart was going to give out the spirit
was so strong. The wife told us as she looked down of our diagram of the plan
of salvation that she knows what we just taught her is true because a few years
back she had a bad accident and she says she had an out of body experience
where she could see her body and she says she knows that we have a spirit and
that after we die we go to the spirit world. Her testimony was so powerful and
helped me strengthen my testimony of the wonderful plan heavenly father has
given us!
Me and my companion have been trying to ask everyone for
baptism dates to help them better work towards that covenant with heavenly
father and this week we have had many miracles and were able to have seven
people with baptism dates. Its so wonderful to see people earnestly seeking to
follow Jesus Christ and be baptized!
This week I was reading a talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
called waiting on the road to Damascus and I read something that I loved and I
want to share it.
"Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re
on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those
around us. Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits, remove
the scales from our spiritual eyes, and open the windows of heaven. By becoming
the answer to someone’s prayer, we often find the answer to our own."
Go out and serve!!
I love you all so much
