3 months already! Miracles, Miracles, Miracles.
The weeks are flying by so quickly I can't believe I have been out
for 3 months already. We give a lot of tours at the Visitor center, but
also we have an area where we serve the other half of the day. My
mission is awesome. We get the best of both worlds, people come to us
from all over the world and we also go find people to teach. Another
cool thing is that we get to serve in the historic homes in st. George
Like the Brigham Young and Jacob Hamblins home. Well this Week My
companion and I were serving at Jacob Hamblins home. A little
background, Jacob Hamblin, he was a missionary for 32 years, and he was
a peacemaker between the Indians and Mormon pioneers back then. In
total there were about 30 children in his home and he had a couple of
wives. We give tours of the house and get an opportunity to bear our
testimonies to every tour we give. Which is awesome and we usually get
a lot of members and a few people from all over. Yesterday we gave an
awesome tour to this new Professor who is going to teach in Dixie state
here in St. George, He went to school in Purdue University. He told us
he was very open and we took the opportunity to give him the door of the
home and gave him a book of Mormon in Chinese, bear our testimony and
told him about our beliefs in Jesus Christ. At the end we said a prayer
and he said he felt very peaceful and we invited him to pray and taught
him how to. It is amazing to see how many people are prepared to
receive the restored gospel and how far some people might have to travel
in order to receive it. Just thinking about that it makes me think here
is someone who is very educated and has a desire to learn about God,
it is hard to find people that are humble like that today. I was so
grateful for the opportunity I had and it helped me realize that it is
the little miracles like that, that touches us and I have to remember as
a missionary to pay attention to those little miracles.
Another
Miracle that I have realized is how much I can speak french fluently, I
haven't really spoken french in a long time and it is just coming back
like I have been speaking for a long time. Also I have realized that I
can understand a lot of Spanish and speak some broken Spanish. Because
cause of that I picked up a 3 new investigators for the Spanish elders. I
didn't know I knew that much Spanish or could scramble some
comprehensible words in Spanish. It is The Lord's doing. I am so
grateful for my mission and all that have been give and provided for
me. Missionary work is awesome and I am loving it, so far with all its ups and downs.
So
far in my Mission I have come to realize how much the little things
matter. The little exciting things, the little acts of kindness, the
little miracles. It is so much easier to be happy when we recognize the
little blessings that we have in our lives. The little things we do like
reading the scriptures, praying and remembering to be nice to everyone
we meet in our paths. Just trying our best to be better individuals. I
will like to extend an invitation to remember to cherish those little
things that matters the most to us. .
It is the Little things that matters the most.
Until next time
Love you All and thanks for everything you have sent in the mail, I truly appreciate it.
