Hello everyone!!:)
This week was so amazing! There is this quote that stuck
with me during this week! It says, "There is a power that enters into your
life as you begin a serious study of the Book of Mormon and Bible"
(President Ezra Taft Benson). I really like this quote because it
is so true! I have been trying to really seriously study the Book of Mormon and
Bible. My companion is so knowledgeable when it comes to the scriptures and is
a great example to me! She has taught me really good ways to study!:) The
gospel of Jesus Christ is truly what is important!
Victor is doing so great! In one of the lessons this
week, he explained to us how it is hard to put his spiritual needs first when
he is struggling with his physical needs! And how he really needs a job to feed
him before he can provide for his spiritual needs. After he said that,
something flowed out of my mouth, "Victor as you put God first and as you
continue to go to church and read the scriptures, you will find a job and
everything else will work out." After the lesson, Sister Griffin said she
was going to say the exact same thing! Just the other day Victor called us and
said HE GOT A JOB!!!! Miracles are real and they do happen as you put God
first. I remember in the MTC one of my teachers told me that as missionaries we have the ability and power of God to make promises with people, and they
WILL come true. We are called and chosen and set apart and qualified to do so,
and I can totally see this now!
Funny stories: hahahaha!!! Okay so during the Festival of
Lights this month, our record for the amount of people who have come in one
night is over 6,000!!! We have a lot of crazy people that come in...
One night my companion and I were talking to this one
lady when all the sudden this crazy man came running up to me and in a baby
voice said "Aww look at your little smile" ... And then he hugged me
and picked me up and squeezed me to death... HE PICKED ME UP... My companion was
like YOU CANT DO THAT!!! It was so awkward. Ya he was going around and hugging
all the sisters and just being super weird... Let's just say he got escorted
out.
This other time this man that was SUPER in to bowling came
up to us and tried to get us to join his special needs bowling team... I'm not
sure what he was inferring hahaha but He made us write down his phone number
and all his information to join his team... I guess I should start practicing ;) haha
just kidding!
Well that is my crazy week! At zone conference we had a
really nice meeting with President Cooke! We are all disciples or followers of
Jesus Christ who are continually repenting! " Behold, I am a disciple of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word
among his people, that they might have everlasting life" (3 Nephi 5:13).
As missionaries we are one of the few to represent Jesus Christ and are humbled
by this great responsibility! The test is what we take home with us at the end!
I am learning what it truly means to forget yourself and go to work and the
blessings that come from putting God first! You never leave yourself or the
Lord so stay true to yourself and the Lord! Hang on to that hope when all is
lost! The only person that can stop you from progressing is you!
Everyone watch and share the two new Christmas videos on
Christmas.mormon.org!! If you haven't seen them yet, that's okay I can quote
them ;) haha! We see them so much but they are so good!:) Talk to ya next week!
