Week 8 - Love, Hard Work, and Agency

What a couple of weeks.  Holy smokerdoodles... So, I´m in the field. Yup. And people have agency...that´s the really hard part of this whole Plan thing... Like I said, this work is harder than anything else I´ve done in my life up to this point, but I´m also growing like I´ve never grown before in my life. I´m trying so hard to do this mission thing right, and I pray that the Lord will take everything I´m giving and make something out of it, because I´m not much of anything, but I guess that´s the miracle.  That´s what He does. 

I love these people and everything SO MUCH already, so it´s really hard not to be able to share everything I have inside. And people have agency. That´s hard. People don´t often want to hear what we have.

This work is right, this work is true, and we can do it. I know that. 1 Népi 3:7  "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."

We have a light, and if all we can do is look at someone, smile, and pray that they feel our testimony, I  believe that that is enough. I believe that. 

I love you all so much!  And thank you for going out with the missionaries. You have no idea what a blessing it is to have someone who will go, and that you can trust.

At the temple With Madalens, Danielle, and Debora. Please pray for them. 


When we got stuck without lunch...all was well in the end!
