Another week serving the Lord,
learning and growing in the Spirit.
Another week being HAPPY as a
representative of Jesus Christ :)
This week we had a training with
President Douglas and the asistentes on Wednesday. It was SO good - and I also
got to see a few Elders from my CCM district who are serving in different
zones! Always a little tender mercy :)
*Side note. I am in this little internet
shack right now, and "My Heart Will Go On" just came on, but in
Spanish. A little distracting? Yes. Worth the laugh? YES.*
Anyway, we had an amazing training
with President Douglas! At one point we did an exercise where we listed all of
the names of Jesus Christ that we could think of. 60 or 70 missionaries... and
we came up with a good 30 or 40 names.
I learned that Jesus Christ has so
many names because he is EVERYTHING to us... and different for everyone,
depending on where they are in their life. At times He is Teacher... sometimes
He is Healer... others He is Savior... but He is ALWAYS there. I love learning
more about my Savior as I strive every day to be a better representative and
servant of Him.
I also spoke in Sacrament on Sunday,
and it just so happened that a member of the Young Women’s General Board was
there visiting our ward. I spoke about the importance of commitments, and some
of the commitments we have as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints. It went well :) And the Sister that was there visiting gave
me the best compliment - "So, you are finishing your mission right?
Because your Spanish is literally perfect and you understand the doctrine
better than any missionary I have ever met in all my years of church service.”.....
Well, that made me feel pretty happy :) She was such a nice Sister, it was fun
to talk with her :)
I love this work! I love this
gospel. I know my Savior lives. That is why I am here.
The Church is true!!!!
