Trust

We saw so many miracles this week! On Thursday afternoon we got a call

from our investigator Candy -we hadn't been able to have a lesson with

her in two weeks because she is super busy and we were a little bit

worried about her but she called us and told us that she had been

reading the book or Mormon and praying with all of her heart so that

God would show her the truth and lead her in the right direction and

she said that she received so many answers and knows that this is what

she needs to do. At church on Sunday we took her to see the baptismal

font and she asked us when the next baptismal service is because she's

ready and wants to be baptized. We scheduled it for this Saturday at

6pm she is working really hard to make the changes necessary to be

ready! Also her son that's a missionary right now will get to skype in

to see the baptism which is so cool I am really excited for her and

for him- for the whole family! It's amazing to see how the Lord

blesses the families of His missionaries, I know he is blessing mine!

This week we had Elder Hamula come to the mission which was so awesome

he taught us for like 3 hours and then did questions and answers. For

the first question a sister asked about knowing when to drop an

investigator. When we teach someone for a certain amount of time and

they aren't progressing then we have to drop them for awhile so that

we can find other people that are prepared. Sometimes it's really hard

to drop investigators because we love them so much and we don't want

to feel like we are giving up on them but I loved what Elder Hamula

said.  He said sometimes we are so anxious for everything to happen

now when we need to trust that God knows and cares about each one of

these individuals and he has a plan for them. Usually as missionaries

we are anxious to help investigators be baptized right then or as

members we want the less active members to come back right now but we

need to look at the big picture. Wether they will be baptized now or

in the future or return to the gospel path now or in the future we

don't always know but we can only do our best and then trust in the

Lord.

I hope that makes sense....I know that God has a perfect plan for each

one of us and as we move forward with faith and with an eternal

perspective everything will work out. I love being a missionary! It is

the best!! I love you all
