So, I hit 13 months yesterday. AND I received an email today asking for my return airport info and all, so THAT HIT ME LIKE A BRICK WALL! I LOVE MY MISSION!!!!! I really can´t believe that for so long I didn´t want to serve or that I never could picture myself as a sister missionary. HA! I NEVER would trade this experience for ANYTHING! I am a completely different person because of this.
I have learned who God is. He is my Father. I have learned how to not just pray, but converse with Him-talk with Him and hear His responses. I am learning how to use the sacrifice of Jesus Cristo to become a better person. I´ve learned of the value of one person. The difference the small things can make. I´m not the missionary with the most baptisms or reactivations, but I´m starting to see the little differences that that things I´ve done have made. People in old areas remembering something I did or said, people in the road that smile when they see us, comps that randomly remember some little moment. It blows my mind and makes me feel so humble!!!! The fact that the Lord can use the little things we do and the little personality ticks we have to make a DIFFERENCE in the life of someone!!!
The
gospel is true, and love makes all the difference. Love freely given
and given FIRST! Confidence given even when not merecida. (still can´t
speak English!) I challenge you all to forgive someone you haven´t
forgiven, and trust and love someone who maybe doesn´t deserve it
(that´s the word!!!) Write a letter, give a gift, say sorry, talk to
someone, make their bed, just REACH OUT! I promise that as you do, you
will feel an increased measure of love that our Heavenly Father has for
us. Put my promise to the test.
I love you all, and have a great week!
And this talk ROCKS!
Gláucia and family on baptism day!
Demon dog! On top of the house!!
Star fruit that I forgot the name in Portuguese again! (I always forget this one!)
