Dearest
Family and Friends,
This
week was good. Went flying by as usual.
All
our hard work this week was worth just seeing the “D” family (recent converts)
sneak in behind us in sacrament meeting! The dad came with his wife and kids
for the first time in 3 weeks. These are the most happy times for me in the
mission. Sometimes I almost lose hope and think that all of our work is for
nothing. But then, the people surprise us.
I
feel like the theme of this week was “opposition.” There really is opposition
in ALL things. And, as missionaries, we see it in all places and experience it
in all things. It´s not easy, but I´m learning many things.
I’ve
started reading the Book of Mormon again and reading about Nefi reminds me that
I need to have more faith and patience in my trials. He was such a great
example in all things, and he could have given up many times, but he just kept
going. I know I can do it. And I know that you all can do it as well. Prayer
works. And I know that our Heavenly Father is listening.
I
have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and of the plan that we accepted
before coming to this earth. Like Mom said this week in her email to me, we
already know which side is going to win in the end. But many are still deciding
which side to join. Sometimes what seems easiest or the most pleasant in the
moment is what we choose to do, but if we could just remember in every moment
which side is going to win, we would be able to choose the right. But,
unfortunately, it’s not always that way. We are human and we make mistakes,
but, we have the knowledge of the gospel. We can repent. Christ suffered and
died for us. Personally. All we need to worry about now is trying our best to
stay in the straight and narrow path that will lead us to his presence again. I
love this gospel. I love the opportunity to repent and be better every day
because I truly need the Atonement every day.
I
love you all. Share your testimony with someone this week. And I’ll do the
same.
Xoxo
