So
this week was awesome! I would like to apologize for not writing last week, i
just simply ran out of time. But como me les va?
This week was so good, because
first we were able to go up to Bogota and have a leadership training. I was
feeling a little bit down when I got up there because our week had been
tough; but my Mission President is amazing. He talked to us about having
the faith for miracles. God is the one who decides if we will have the
miracles and the only thing we need to do is to show our faith. This really
helped me understand more about the idea of success. I am just going to work as hard
as I can, and then let the Lord determine if I will have success.
Also
we had a busy busy week just trying to catch up on lost time. We were able to
watch all the sessions of General Conference and we witnessed a miracle. We have been trying to work
with Alba and Pipe, a referral of a less active and we have been trying to
help them come to church for a while so that they can be baptized. They love
the church and the Book of Mormon but for various reasons they haven't been
able to come to church. But it was so cool to see them Sunday morning all ready for
church. And it is super funny. If you have ever seen "Megamind", imagine his
voice and actions of a little kid who tries to talk in English. That's Pipe, and
he is such a stud. We are so grateful for this miracle from God.
Also,
we have been so blessed to hear the Prophet and the Apostles this week with
General Conference. I am so grateful for these inspired leaders who receive revelation
to help us change our lives. I loved a quote by Elder Uchtdorf "We are beings of
light". All we can do is bring more light. And that light comes from Christ. We
really are just created to reflect the light of God in all things. It is just
our absence of following His counsel that diminishes that light. But when that
light reflects in our soul and actions, we are continually striving to remember
the heavenly home from which we came, which is pure light, God's light.
Love
you all, have a great week.
