Hola!
Well I think that right now I am on a Spiritual high. We just got back from the Temple. There wasn’t enough space in the room to do a session, so my comp and I did initiatory work. We were going to also do some sealings. But, they were short a couple of workers to do a couple things so we started doing initiatory, and then while inside we had to wait about 35-40 minutes while the workers helped out in other areas. It was alot of good thinking time..... I feel wonderful when I’m in the Temple. I love it.
One of the elders of our Zone that was going to train didn’t receive a companion. So he was with us as a trio. He went to Iquitos on Sunday, so we are now short 2 missionaries in the Zone, but he was happy to go to Iquitos.
This past week my comp also was a little sick for something he ate and so he was down for a day.
On Friday we had a Zone conference that went really well, the assistants to the President taught us and I learned alot. :)
We have found some new investigators this week, one of them is another family, and one is a Dad that is separated from his family right now. He told us that he wants to change his life, that he has a problem with alcohol, but that he wants to change.
I feel very blessed to have such an amazing family in my life and to have the restored gospel as well. It is interesting to know that we always have the opportunity to choose. We can choose to follow the gospel plan, or we can not, we can choose to obey the commandments, or we can not. God has given us the freedom to choose, and I have chosen to share the Gospel, to do God’s will. It’s amazing to me the blessings that one receives while sharing. In the world’s view, the more you give means the less you’ve got. With the Lord is the opposite, the more you give, the more you’ve got. But it all depends on us and what we choose.
Christ lives and hears our prayers!!
Love Elder Joe.
