Well
Hello Everyone!
This
week i have learned a bit more about patience, I know, scary right? but
actually it was a huge blessing! so the story kind of goes like this.
Lately me and elder Jackson have been
feeling like we have been putting in a ton of work and yet not finding much
success. We've been working really hard biking, contacting, trying to talk to
everyone and yet we haven't seen to much progress from anyone. Then, on
Saturday, it all changed. Our investigator martin just blew us away in a lesson.
hes been reading and praying! then we were contacting by some soccer fields and
a huge group of Hispanic guys want to come to the church to play on our soccer
ward activity nights. Then we talked to a kid that asked for a BOM to read and
told us he had a bunch of friends he wants to take to soccer, Then again later
that night a man from New York talked to us and ask for a BOM because he no
longer had his. It got lost during his move.
It was such a good day, it felt like in every thing we did the lord was guiding us to those who needed us. i learned a lesson in patience, i learned that sometimes the mission is going to drag and you wont feel successful but by following the lord and acting in diligence he will guide you to those who need you. So on those days you don't feel successful you really are! as long as your striving with a steadfastness in Christ striving diligently to be a better missionary each and ever day. Loving the Mish!

I
really loved this little expirience though! because me and elder jackson work
hard, we try and be the best missionarys we can be and sometimes its hard to
see why we are being obedient and working hard and are not finding solid
people, while some missionarys who arent working hard are finding amazing
people and having so much success! However, its ok, the lord tries us all in
different ways, and as we learn and progress he will bless us. So when me and
elder jackson have been working for weeks and maybe not finding the most
success, he saw fit to bless us with success in due time. All we had to do was
just stay steadfast :)
Thats
a principal i just have learned to love! Steadfast. in the dictionary it
means...
"resolutely
or dutifully firm and unwavering."
That
is just awesome! Imaging how much good we could do if in everything we were
steadfast? unwaivering? firm? We could change the world! Thats when blessings
come. Just like me and elder jackson showed steadfastness with working through
the heat and the hardness, we were blessed. When you work through the trials
and hardship, with a steadfastness toward your goal, you will be blessed to
obtain it. That is why it is so important to be steadfast in christ! in all
ways and at all times! if we are dutifully firm in trying to be like the
savior, can you even imagine how much better of a place our world would be!? It
is just awesome!
So I
challenge everyone this week to be steadfast, choose one specific thing and be
100% steadfast in it this week, i promise you will see blessings as you are
diligent and steadfast :)
So
one last thing, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!
Its
the newest mormon message and its amazing! Hope everyone is doing awesome! i
hope my letters inform of enough thats happening too haha.
Love
you all! Keep on keeping on!
