Let´s just decide and trust that the Lord will keep His promises

This week was a good end to the transfer!! I am really happy, bc we were able to finish strong and not have that lag that often happens at the end of a transfer!

 

I´ll be staying here in my area and training another new Sister Training Leader until the end!! Can you believe that?!?!? I entered into the last 6 weeks today! NOW it´s starting to feel real. I have a bunch of mixed feelings, but the Lord taught me something today in my personal studies. I read in Mormon 9:14-talking about the judgement day, it says that those who were happy will continue happy and those that are sad will continue sad. I have this dumb mindset that I can´t have fun until after the work is done...chores Saturday morning before playing, salad before your rice and beans, homework before sleep, my whole life´s been shaped around that mindset, and it was something that I was thinking a lot about and talking about with Heavenly Father this week bc i want to ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!! I´m afraid of losing these precious moments waiting to be fully happy until AFTER the work is done. And then, Sister França sent me an envelope (6 actually, one for every week) and the talk that was inside was Elder Scott and 10 keys to happiness. IT'S PERFECT!!!

 LET'S BE HAPPY!  Let´s just decide and trust that the Lord will keep His promises (which he ALWAYS DOES!!!!) We saw a MIRACLE this week. We made a promise with the Lord about our work this month and the baptisms of a few investigators. We did everything, but then they set their goals for the next month. We were a little sad, but it´s okay, they´re going strong and firm. Finally, Friday night EVERYTHING WORKED OUT!!! Someone was willing to pay for their wedding, someone else was willing to lend clothes, we had testimonies, all of the documents we needed,  a ride, our leader ready to do the baptismal interview, and even a baptismal meeting ready. It was AMAZING to see the Lord work everything out in miraculous ways!!! They ended up deciding to wait until November, but the Lord still blessed them in finding work through all of this. We can´t take away the agency from people, but the Lord never fails to keep a promise. Even though we didn´t do our promised part perfectly, He blessed us with lots and lots of progress and blessed us with miracles de acordo com our faith and efforts and desires.

 

God loves us so much. End of story. He loves you and will do everything to help us if we just believe He will and live in accordance with this belief. 

 

 

I needed a mission. I have learned so many things for my life. I know how to take care of myself, serve, trust in God, work with Him, pray for real.  I know how to teach, how to inspire people, how to work with many people, I´ve lost so much fear and self consciousness, I love myself now, and all the rest of my life, the Lord is just lining up. IT`S AMAZING HOW HE BLESSES US!!!

 

I love life and love my God and all of you!!!

Good week!
