March 26, 2012

so this week was amazing. we saw so many miracles. sunday was awesome, we had a lot of people in church, and the meeting was so poweful. it was fast and testimony meeting. in the last song How Great Thou Art, the two investigators sitting by me were crying, it was a really awesome experience. we are teaching this guy that is amazing he has come to church 4 weeks in a row and stays for all the meetings, and is awesome. he is married, completes with everything. we challenged him to be baptized and he wasnt 100 % sure, but after church he was there still waiting and so we asked him if there was something on his mind. he said that he wanted to get baptized as soon as possible. it was so awesome. he is amazing. I found out my cambios, i am going to go train and open a sector. it is going to be pretty crazy since i dont know the place and have never been there and will be training a new missionary. but i know that with the Lords help i can do all things. that is a lesson i have really learned in the last few cambios, the need to be humble and always depend on the Lord. i think that it is funny that we brag sometimes about our accomplishments especial as missionaries, how many people we baptized, how many times we trained, if we were zone leader or not, when really in God´s eyes it doesnt matter. He only asks us to do our best. the key to success is making sure that Heavenly Father is satisfied with what we are doing, and not worry about what people say or thing. worrying what people think or say, leads to comparison, and that leads to pride, the universal sin. but i am really excited it will be a fun experience. it was funny because a couple of people when they found out my cambio said that i was getting demoted, because i wouldnt be zone leader anymore, and it bothered me a little bit at first, but really there are no promotions, or demotions in the work of the Lord, it doesnt matter in what postion you serve it just matters how. so we are going to do the best we can and leave it all in the hands of the Lord they really dont have any investigators right now, so we will be opening from scratch. so i am really happy to leave the sector here really good, i really feel satisfied with the work we did, and at the end we were able to see great fruits. the key is to keep working not look back until its over, just keep progressing, keep moving forward. 5 months is still a very long time to help people change their lives and find eternal happiness. love you thanks for everything
