Hey Everybody!!
I really just wanted to thank
absolutely everybody who wished me a happy birthday and wanted to say
that it really was an amazing birthday. I am so grateful to all of you
and hope that you can all feel my love and appreciation to all of you. I
hope that you can know how much I love and admire each one of you. You
may think that I am saying this in general but I honestly can think of
each one of you. Thank you! And Im pretty proud that I survived one more
year! Thats a great accomplishment.
I would
just like to share with you an amazing experience with one lesson. God
Knows Everything. And His plan is Always the best.
This
week, with my new companion we taught a lot of new people. Actually,
exclusively new people. None of the people that we taught, we had met
the week before. We saw so many amazing blessings of people who want to
know the fullness of the Gospel and people who accept and feel the
Spirit. It was an amazing week full of very spiritual lessons and
miracles.
So, as usual, on Saturday, we went around confirming that
everyone would come to church, and as one more miracle, a lot of people
said that they would. But, as we woke up early on Sunday morning and
started to go and meet with these amazing people to go to church, not
one of them said that they could. Not one came with us.
On
our long 30 minute walk to church, I was a little frustrated and
disappointed just with the fact that these amazing people wouldnt be
able to go to church. But as we got to church some things happened that
if a few investigators had been there, it probably wouldnt have been the
best first impression. I have never felt so blessed to have no one come
to church. :)
But I would just like to testify that God
knows Everything! He knows not only what you are going through and what
you need but He also knows the best plan. A part of not judging, I have
learned, is not feeling frustrated when our plan doesnt work because
His plan is always better.
I testify that Christ knows us and loves us. Rely and trust in Him. Continue to try. En o nome de Jesus Cristo Amen
