¡Hola! This week was another good
week. I’m starting to be able to feel my way around the sector I know I few
streets and a few people but not a lot. We have a few good investigators one is
named Valdimir he is going to be baptized this Saturday he is super cool and
super prepared his wife was recently reactivated in the church and is now the
first counselor of the young women. We also have a husband and wife who is
called familia amigo (the friend family that’s literately there last name friend)
they are good the husband is a man who has a lot of questions and loves to
think and meditate for answers he has been reading the book of Mormon and
promised to come to church this week. That’s all I remember for now but it’s
been good we have been doing a lot of contacts this week. Just hours in the
street talking to whatever person that crosses our path. I find it to be
incredibly fun and I’m hoping to see some fruits from it.
Today on my mind is the work Sacrifice
and what that is. I think that is one of the greatest things one learns here in
the mission is sacrifice and what it means. I love the story of Nephi going to
get the plates we all know the famous attitude of Nephi ``I will go and do``
and he did that he went to Jerusalem got rejected got beat by his brothers and
still didn’t give up didn’t even falter. Then he came to the point where he
found Laban on the ground and that point when spirit of the lord told him to
kill Laban the great `` I will go and do what the lord has commanded`` became
``I will go and do but lord I don’t want to do this``
It is one of my favorite stories because
that is when I feel the lord tested Nephi’s obedience to the max. When Nephi
did that I feel that turned him into a man of true power. We will all hit the
same point in our life. We will be in our path completing our duty doing all
that God has asked us to do. Then will come the point that the Lord will asked
us to give the most important things to us.
We all have our ``thing`` which we
will say ``lord I will give all that you ask me just not that anything but
that`` There will come a time when the lord will ask that ```thing`` of all of
us. For Nephi it was killing Laban and for Abraham it was his son. What it will
be for each of us is different but we all have it. There will come a time when
the lord will ask it from all of us.
The lord ask sacrifice from each and
every one of us and it is a sacrifice of all things and if we are willing to
give it all for him I know that truly we can come to know him we can feel his
peace knowing we gave up all for him.
I love the my lord and savior Jesus Christ
and I love God my Heavenly Father I know they are real and I know they love us.
