Hey everyone!
Sorry I have been slacking on the blog
email's, life has just been a little busy! haha, but these last few weeks
have been awesome!
So, at the beginning of this transfer we have been
doing a lot of finding here in Maastricht and it's now finally starting
to pay off. We have a couple of really solid investigators that are
excited and willing to learn more about this amazing Gospel, which is
super super awesome to see! And yeah, we have been able to meet and teach
some really cool people.
I'm truly grateful to know that this is the Lords work and I have seen so many times where the Lord has brought me
and my companion right where we need to be to talk to a specific person,
it's just way cool.
I hope everyone had a really awesome weekend and a
fantastic Halloween! Unfortunately it isn't a holiday here in the Nederlands sooo didn't get to carve a pumpkin or anything, but that's okay,
the Lord blessed us with a week full of sunshine! haha which is almost
as good as Halloween!
Anyways, this week I have been extremely grateful
for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how if we will let it, it will
carry us through our trials! I mean, we have an investigator now who is
in soooo much pain that even the most potent prescription pain killers
offer only a bit of relief and it's sooo hard to see, but I admire his
faith so much he just keeps on constantly believing and taking those
steps necessary to be baptized.
He starts every day with a prayer and a
smile on his face and honestly he has been a great example for me. But I
can see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has helped him and how
sometimes, like in his life it gets so hard that the only thing we have
to lean on is our Savior and his atonement, ha and as a missionary I
have definitely had to lean on it time and time again, in order to
change, to become a better person, and sometimes just to keep going
through the day.
I'm so grateful for him and his sacrifice and also
for the Book of Mormon and its pure, and powerful testimony of our Savior and his atonement. I know that as we pray and allow ourselves
to lean on him that he will heal us, strengthen us, and give us peace
in the times that we need it most. May you all have an amazing week, I
love you all!
