HEY FAMILY
i hope all is going wonderful. things are cooling down here in paraguay its not as hot in the 90´s normally so when you get to the nightime it is really quite nice. this last week was a great week. we are coming to find the small miracles, blessings, and answers to prayers that we are finding in our daily lives. i read the talk by Pres. Monson this morning that he gave during the morning session this last general conference which was fantastic! it talked about looking at all of the blessings large and small. taking that step back. or in the lesson given by dad the small point on the big piece of paper. we are so blessed to be members of the true church of Jesus Christ. what a joy it is to have that testimony burn within your soul and having the knowledge that it is our Father in Heaven who revealed the knowledge to us.
this last week i was doing an interesting activity in PMG. i was reading chapter 4 that talks about the Holy Ghost and His purpose, how we can come to be more worthy to receive and follow the impressions that He reveals to us. all of the great stuff. there is one part that talks about recognizing the impressions of the Holy Ghost and the fruits of it (Galatians 5:20-21) they have multiple scriptures from all of the standard works. as i read them i would look at the fruit of the spirit in that situation of the scriptures and then i would meditate and figure out where i have felt that same spirit in my own life. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! it really helped me come to find out how much the spirit has revealed to me and how much i have come to gain a testimony of through the spirit and how i can connect to individual moments in my life. I also asked to be receptive to the impressions of the spirit and we had a very interesting one. we asked for a reference from a women who directed us to a house. as we clapped it and they let us come it as we sat down and just did the little chat i felt this bad just kinda feeling sick feeling hit my stomach and i had the desire to fight. later on talking about it my companion had felt it too. we knew from the get go that the man we sat with only wanted to fight. we testified and then invited and then passed along. it was great how clear it was and it was super interesting to me how much of a difference there was in what i felt.
I am so glad to hear that so many people are going on missions. what a blessing it will be to have them out in the mission field sharing this everlasting gospel with everyone. it is the biggest and best thing that has happened to me in my life. i have become who God wants me to become and all because i chose to come and serve a mission. i now have a true testimony of the restoration of Christ true church on earth.i no longer depend on borrowed light. all those capable and that have the desire to serve, serve and the Lord will change your life.
thank you for all that you do
love you all
