Wow, I'm going to start off with the happy news that I was able
to receive today! (Drum roll) I.... Am.... Going.... To.... Train a
new missionary!!! But wait that's not all!! (there's always more) I'm....
Also.... The... District Leader!!! haha I'm super happy however super
nervous because it is a lot of responsibility! So that is the big news
this day.
This
week I have been able to learn so much and have been able to become
better. As I was pondering one night I was wondering why our
investigators aren't progressing and what we were doing wrong. I started
to pray and to read the bible and I found a scripture that was talking
about a guy who had received 5 gold coins and he went out to serve, then
another with 3, and finally one with only 1 coin. Then it talked about
how the first went out and received double of what he received and had
10 then the guys with 3 had also doubled and had 6 and the last with
only one coin came back to the Lord with the same one he had and the Lord said I will take that of which you have and give to the one who has
10. I learned that I have a lot of abilities and am truly filled with
the love of Christ... however I learned I wasn't actually giving my love
to others. I was so worried about being the best missionary I actually
forgot about the needs of others. It has been one of the greatest
fights to change. To not only think of what I need to do for my
salvation however also the salvation of others. We are all very well
capable of loving and have all the talents that we need to succeed
However we often time keep it to ourselves. That maybe we didn't do it
but we also didn't stop it. Maybe we helped ourselves become who we want
and who the Savior wants however forgot about our family who are stuck
in darkness. It has been the hardest things to change however the most
rewarding and I have actually felt the hearts of others. I have felt a
true love.. in the bible it says all those who are great amongst you
let them be your servants. When we actually love like the savior and
are filled with the love of Chirst we serve them we do all we can to
bring them up. To pull them out of darkness and into the light. I have
been able to grow the greatest love for my companion by serving him.
We didn't have any clothes and the hermana couldn't wash them so I
decided to take our clothes and wash them... it was hard and I was
tired... however the love I have grown through the service of him is
great. That we can truly feel more love when we serve others. Your
love for others will grow and even greater your love between one another
will grow as well. I would give the advice to serve one another. Even
more important is pray!! not only personally... however as a family!!!
If you want more love one with another.... PRAY!!! TOGETHER!! I know its
hard because you all have different plans but force yourselves!! Make
the fight!! I know that Through service you will feel more love one with
the other! That we can feel closer to the Savior. Love like Christ
with a pure love.. Charity is the pure love of Christ. Forget yourself
and go to work!!!
Love you guys and hope you all are going well!!
