Herro famiry!:
Well this week was pretty cool! Elder Zwick came and gave us a great mission conference and talked to us about our conventants that we made in the temple and what the definition of consecration and sacrifice is for a missionary, since we don't have much we can really sacrifice anymore! He spoke to us about our sacrifice of time -- time is what we can give to the Lord. It's really the only thing we have left to give. Using the Lord's time wisely was the main topic of conversation and it really made me reflect. My whole mission it has been hard to completely surrender my will to the Father as Jesus Christ did. I still find myself being selfish and saying "but, I want this thing to be MINE." I think it's a lack of trust in the Lord that I have to work on. If I trust the Lord enough, I will know that when I give all things to Him, He in reality will give me everything back... one hundred fold. The story of Job is a great example of this.
Transfers are coming up this week and we'll find out what is going to happen on Sunday. I am not too nervous, I am pretty sure I'm going to stick around!
This week we didn't get a chance to meet with Rosa Liriano, unfortunately. She was in the hospital with her daughter who just had a baby but we did have a chance to speak to Rosa's niece about the Book of Mormon. It was a little difficult because she has the mind of Nehor (Alma chapter 1). Basically you can do whatever you want and you're all set if you're a good person for the most part. I was a little frustrated, but I pushed through it and it ended up being a really good exchange! We are going to go check up on her soon and see if she read the chapter we gave her.
Conference is coming up! Superbowl for missionaries!
Not much else to add this week! I love you all!
