I hope you all watched
conference and loved it! I don't know why but I just felt an
overwhelming love for my family during it. I love my family! Conference
was so inspired and I look forward to re-reading the messages (in
English...). I hope you all got something out of it, an answer
specifically for you or just heard words that gave you comfort. Study
the words of the prophets because they are literally the words of God,
the words that He would have us hear.
So
I have learned a lot this week. On Tuesday, we had a really good zone
meeting and I left the meeting feeling very uplifted and inspired. I had
more determination to work hard and to simply do everything possible to
magnify my calling. As we all know, and actually was stated in
conference, whenever we have spiritual highs, difficulties often follow.
These past few weeks a lot has happened and it has really been trying
my faith. There were two ocasions where I felt a strong spiritual
impression to talk to certain people so we went and contacted them and
then taught them the first lesson but when we returned, they told us
they weren't really interested. This made me kind of sad because I could
see their potential and I know how much the gospel can bless their
lives, but now isn't the right time for them. This is hard sometimes
because we want so bad that they progress, but it is not in our timing,
it is in the Lord's. I know that with these people, we were the ones
planting the seeds and that missionaries in the future will reap the
rewards, just like I am reaping the rewards of missionaries in the past.
All we have to do is PRESS FORWARD WITH FAITH. A few other things
happened where it seemed that me following the promptings of the spirit
didn't profit me at all and Satan wanted me to think that following
these promptings is a waste of time or he wanted me to doubt these
promptings, but at that moment, I knew that it was the adversary trying
to discourage me. I know without a doubt that following the promptings
of the spirit is always the right decision. Sometimes Satan tries to get
us to think otherwise, but God is more powerful than the adversary, and
we are His servants, we have His power, and we are called to do His
work. I am so grateful for the chance to be a missionary and I want to
thank you all for your love and support. I can truly feel your influence
in my life. Have a great week!
P.S. My Grandma Passey is famous! haha I was just sitting there eating
breakfast one day, flipping through the pages of the March Liahona and
then BOOM! A picture of my grandma appears in the top right corner of a
page! wow! And I was just like HEY, GUYS, LOOK, THIS IS MY GRANDMA!!
haha It was way fun and also another reminder that my family loves me!
