Bueno.. this week was really hard, but really good. I have a
testimony that obedience brings blessings, but exact obedience brings miracles!
As it says in D&C 58:4: "For after much tribulation come the
blessings". I've realized how in my mission the very best days usually come
after some of the very hardest days. Tuesday I got sicker than I've been my
whole mission. It was the weirdest thing and I won't go into detail, but the
nurse said I would most likely be staying in bed for 4 days. Well, I was super
bummed. I was just asking my Father in Heaven for the strength to get out &
at least visit our investigators. I got a blessing the same day, and Wednesday
when I woke up, I obviously wasn't back to normal, but I had energy and we were
able to leave to work!
We went to visit Aldo with the intentions to leave him
for a little bit, because he likes the visits, but has not been progressing.
But, we had the best lesson with him and the tables turned... he received his
answer that these things are true! He had been praying & asking if this is
the true church & on Monday after asking in his nightly prayer, the answer
came. He said that he opened his eyes seeing a bright light, as he felt a happy
sensation and something strong in his chest. He studdered not knowing how to
describe it, but he knows this was the Lord's way of telling him that these
things are true. God answers prayers! Aldo has a baptism date for July
7th... miracle.
We saw many miracles with our investigators this week, and it
strengthens my testimony that God is so real and is so personally involved in
each and every one of our lives! Oh and now my health is completely fine. The
priesthood is real! I think that blessing I recieved on Tuesday was my
lifesaver this week. As it says in D&C 121, the rights of the priesthood
are inseperable connected with the powers of heaven & handled upon the
principles of righteousness. The priesthood is such a blessing, and we are so
blessed to have the priesthood restored on earth today! I am so grateful and
humbled to be a missionary.
Thank you for all the support and prayers, they
mean more than you know! I hope you all have a maravillosa week! xoxo
