This last week has
been good. It’s really fun to see the investigators yearn to learn more about
the gospel. Elder Bunga and I were able to see that in our baptism date
investigators. They constantly what to learn, read the Book of Mormon, and are
sincere about keeping the commandments we extend to them. We are very hopeful
that they will get baptized J
Right now I am taking stepping back and
just looking at serving Heavenly Father one day at a time. I view it this way
so that a) I don’t get homesick and I forgot myself b) This helps me to serve him my best everyday
not just for two years. Everyday is a new day and if I don’t strive to work my
hardest today then what will I think of when the time comes to leave India?
Serving my best one day at a time is helping me.
I love my personal studies right now. It
helps me to learn so much about the topics that I have to teach to people.
Though… lol … I feel like there is never enough time to study! It goes by so
quickly!
I’ve got the main part of the First Vision
memorized and I’ve been using the power statements a little more too in
lessons. I’ve seen how helpful they are when striking up a conversation with a
stranger on the streets. These make it so much simpler to share my purpose in
being here in India.
Prayers, Studying Scriptures, having experiences, and keeping God’s commandments is something else that I guess clicked in how I’ll be able to receive guidance and comfort while here. I’m glad I get to serve my Heavenly Father here on his mission. I get to help others learn of the gospel, while at the same time learning things that make me grow. Crazy how that works! Haha I give my time to the Lord and yet he still blesses me too. I’m definitely grateful to him though.
I love you guys! :)
