So I basically feel like
I blink and the week is over. TIME IS FLYING. Like where did the week
go? Anyway this week was good, we found two new investigators that are
really interested in the gospel. Every time I leave a lesson with them, I
am just filled with so much love which makes me really happy because
lately I have been trying to figure out how I can have more love for the
people and I feel like the Lord answered my question that day. I was
feeling kind of down because I feel like I lacked that Christ-like love
but then I prayed one night and literally the next day we found this
lady and her friend. I know they were being prepared by the hand of the
Lord and I know that we are here at this time to help them. I realized
that I find so much more joy in the work when we are teaching people who
are progressing and really developing a testimony of the gospel. This
then made me realize that if I really want to be able to say that these
were the best 18 months of my life, I need to work hard and sift through
the people in order to find the people who are really prepared.
Also
we had a mission wide conference this week with Elder Godoy, who is an
area 70 and wow, it was so good! He was so inspired and I really learned
a lot from what he said, and it wasn't just his words that hit me, but
also the thoughts that came to my mind when I was listening. One of the
thoughts that came to my mind was that if I really do want to enjoy this
work, I need to find joy in the little moments. I need to find joy in
simply sharing the gospel and having the opportunity to bear testimony. I
need to stop setting up expectations on how I think my mission should
be and just enjoy where I am now. We always hear that comparing
ourselves to others just makes us feel down and it's so true. We need to
find joy in our own accomplishments and love the life we are living
right now. It's not always easy, and in fact, it's really hard sometimes
because that's what we natually do I think, but I know it's possible.
Enjoy the little things and have a super great week!
