Well everybody, I had a great week, and I got really sick yesterday, so it was good and bad. But mostly good.
The best part was a great lesson we had with our golden investigators family, and our new family of almost golden investigators. These two lessons we brought with us the angel Hermana Ernastina, she was so perfect for these families. She testified with so much power and showed so much love for these strangers who she had never met. She taught flawlessly, on a whim, just as an answer to a question of our investigator, she then proceeded to back up what she was saying scripturally, with her own testimony and with so much spiritual power. She has a daughter on the mission right now in honduras, and she was telling this investigator that she has never been happier, her daughter is serving the lord and she knows it is the truth, then she asked me for my family picture that I always have in my bible. She showed the picture of me and my family to this investigator and asked them. Do you think this young man could ever leave such a beautiful family for two years, not seeing them or calling them if he didnt know that this was the true church of Jesus Christ?
It was so powerful and convincing. The truth is, I did leave a lot, you guys are incredible. The best family anyone could ask for Not to mention the comforts of home, my friends, music, movies and all the other things missoinaries give up., but that is the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We never give up more than we recieve, so I knew if I left the best family in the world, somehow the Lord would match that blessing and give me more than I had before.
Also this week, it has started to get hot. I am sweating in this little internet cafe and I dont know how I will survive the summer. Nobody here has air conditioning. It is going to be rough.
Other good things from this week, I had interviews this week with President Stellmon and Sister Stellmon
I love president stellmon so much, he told me, well, you have had it good your whole life,
yes president thats right
so I want you to be like the rich man and go the savior and ask him, what do I still lack
and when he tells you give something up, it is going to be something hard, something you really love, something you would never think he would want you to give up, but if you do it, you will be a better person.
So heres to giving up what the lord asks you to and never looking back. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven everybody.
I love you all
Until next week
