G'day!
We have been blessed with so many opportunities to learn this week! We had our zone conference on Friday--eight
glorious hours of trainings and receiving revelation! We had wonderful
trainings from our assistants to the president, President and Sister
Maxwell, and quite a few short 5-minute trainings from the zone leaders
and sister training leaders. It was such a spiritual feast! One of my
top favorite things about being a missionary has got to be the amazing
meetings. I love learning so much!
This Sunday
was also a wonderful learning experience. I recently have been praying
to know what more I need to do as a missionary and as a disciple, and I
felt like I should make a list of gospel principles I wish I understood
better, and put it in my study journal where I can refer to it often.
Some of the things included the sacrament, Sabbath day worship, setting
goals, virtue, and some others. And boy, Heavenly Father has been
teaching me about them! This Sunday,
both the Gospel Principles lesson and the third hour training focused
on the Sabbath and the sacrament! It was an amazing answer to prayer! An
RM from another ward spoke in sacrament meeting and taught me a few
more things that I want to learn more about. It's amazing how the Lord
answers when we ask Him for help, especially when we want to improve.
We
had the blessing of going to the temple again this week with another
recent convert. Her name is Marie-Claire. She is from Mauritius, is 72
years old, and was baptized the same day as Jorge! The assistants taught
her, but we've been working a lot with her recently. She is just
fantastic. She loved doing baptisms at the temple with the youth and
other recent converts from our ward! That night there were at least five
people there for the first time who were there because of the influence
of missionaries. It was amazing to see.
We've spent a lot
of time tracting this week, trying to find new people to teach. And I
love it. I love going finding and searching out those who are prepared
and striving to open my mouth and share the gospel with everyone I can!
It is the most rewarding work, even if few people actually say yes.
Knowing that I have done all I can and that my efforts are pleasing to
the Lord is the best reward.
I know this gospel is true, and I know this is the Lord's work! I love my Savior and I am proud to serve Him!
