well hello my dear Family and friends!
How
are you all?! Things are going great here in Valenzuela! :) I am
learning lots and starting to see success!! ... So before I get to the
good stuff I have a funny story...
I went to the bathroom the other day and as I turned around to
flush the toilet the little basket that holds our soap and stuff fell off
the back and into the toilet...well... this all happened while the
toilet was flushing!... and one of the bottles of body wash actually
made it down...well as we could all guess the toilet got plugged... but
just plunging it didn't do anything! So we asked the zone leaders (who
live one floor below us) to see if they could do anything!... nope!
Nothing! We were just told to clean our bathroom! haha So we had to call
in the big guns!...Elder Bown and Elder Ence!...Poor guy had to come on
his p-day to come fix our nasty toilet! When he walked in he cringed
because the toilet was cemented to the floor,which meant he couldn't
just unbolt it had make it easier! But he truly was a super hero and he
got it all fixed up! and I could use the bathroom again! ... you know,
clumsy ol' me! Somethings never change! :)
So... This last week has taught me a lot about personal revelation
through the scriptures, the reality of prayer,and the power of Holy
places. So... to make the long story short this week has had some
distractions and I wasn't the most focused... we worked and were
still obedient but I could have been more focused! and throughout the
week we kept saying that we probably would have baptisms but within a
few transfers some other missionaries will harvest the area... SO I was
sitting in sacrament meeting having a conversation with my Heavenly
Father about this and my scriptures opened up to John 4:34-35...You
should read it.. but lets just say Heavenly Father was chastising me for
not being optimistic! Verse 35 talks about needing to look up for the
field truly is white, all ready to harvest!...So...i have started to
look up and we now have 4 new investigators and they are both families!
yay!!
The other one was today while I was at the temple.I was sitting
there just pondering and i was prompted to read Doctrine and Covenants
127. When I opened it up it
was about baptism for the dead and I though that was weird but the first
few versus are about Joseph smith and what he had to say about his
trials... One thing that stuck out to me is that he said that they had
become almost as second nature but that he had learned to rejoice in
them!... Sometimes in life it seems like it never ends! And no matter
how bad we want something and no matter how much we pray for it, it
seems to never come! BUT!... We can learn to rejoice in our trials!
