Ojala que todos tuvieron un bueno Dia de los Padres!!!! I want to tell my dad, (late) Happy Fathers DAY!!! I love you so much pops, and I am so thankful for the example you have been to me, I wouldn't be out on my mission if it weren't for my Dad! I also want to thank my heavenly Father this fathers Day for everything that he does for me. I have realized so much more on my mission, who our Heavenly Father is. I am so thankful for his tender mercies and his hand in the missionary work! I can not thank him enough! I just hope that through my mission i can show him a small part of my gratitude and love!
Well this week was a great week, but honestly nothing out of the ordinary happened so it is hard to update you all! We did have a great District Meeting this Thursday. The training that we had was on prayer. I LOVED IT, Because i know that nothing can happen in missionary work, until we pray. For the MISSIONARIES, MEMBERS, and INVESTIGATORS. I have seen over and over again, that when we ask with a sincere heart and real intent, that that is when miracles happen. But I know that we have to ASK! We truly do have to take that action. So we were driving home from District Meeting talking about the training, and thinking about what we could do, to act and show our willingness. So we came up with this sacrifice that we could do. We decided that we were going to wake up every day at 6 AM instead of 630 and that we were going o have an extra hour of Companionship study. It has been great, REALLY HARD, Because for those of you who know me you know that I am really bad at waking up! But we have seen so many miracles from it, our lessons are more in sync and more prepared, so we can definitely feel the spirit more when we testify! The BEST feeling in the entire world is when you testify, and the spirit is there telling the people that the message is true! It is my favorite thing to do! Because I know that testimonies are POWERFUL! It is so true that the only way that we can receive a sincere testimony, if these things are true, is if we pray! We cannot know by any other source than from our Heavenly Father! SO I truly do encourage all of you this week to make your prayers more sincere, and to counsel with the lord in all your doings. There is this scripture that i like a lot in Alma 37:36-37 it says.....36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whither soever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
I am so thankful for the gift that we have to pray!!! A few other small things that happened this week, were... We made homemade oreo ice cream that was fun! I totally schooled my companion in a game of HORSE today! hahaha. And this Saturday we are getting ready to do a ward activity. We are doing a ward Movie Night and watching 17 miracles, and we have committed everyone to invite 3 friends. So we are pretty excited to see what comes of it! Hopefully we can find the elect there! I love you all and I hope you know how much each and every one of you mean to me! I am so thankful for this opportunity to serve a mission and to be obedient and sacrifice and keep on growing and learning everyday! I hope and pray that when i get off o0f that plane and come back home, that i can say that I am a completely changed person, and that this mission and my Savior changed me! I am so thankful for every day and I never want my mission to end. i decided that i am going to be like Mosiahs sons and serve for 9 years! Love you all so much have a great week, and I will see you in 9 years!
