Wow. Each week i say this, but i love being a missionary! We have had the busiest and best week yet! Monday night we headed to San Antonio. We had Zone Conference with 3 Zones on Tuesday. Hermana Clark and I headed home that night to teach a few lessons in Austin. We were able to work our area Wednesday, but headed back to San Antonio Wednesday night so we could get up at 4 am Thursday and head to the border. We had Zone Conference in Eagle Pass, I was able to do an exchange with the sisters who are now serving there. I saw many recent converts and members that I served with when I was there over a year ago. It was a sweet reunion as I saw the growth in each one of them. Ah i love the people there!!
Friday night we came home and worked, once again, in Austin. We had great lessons with many part members on Saturday and were able to get them to commit to come to church. Unfortunately, yesterday was the championship game in FIFA, so only a few of them came.
The work is going great here. Our investigators have struggled to keep commitments lately, but we know and we trust in the promise that the Lord gives us in Preach My Gospel.. "The Lord is preparing people for you to teach." I know this promise applies to y'all as well. Will each of you refer at least one person to the missionaries, before I come home? The Lord is preparing people for us to teach. It's just a matter of finding them! The Lord will bless you for your efforts and you will be able to watch as your friends, neighbors, and family members come unto Christ, and enter into the waters of baptism.
As we have traveled this week throughout the mission, I have been able to see many people with whom I have served. Companions, members, and recent converts. I have felt my heart grow. I thought I felt it then, but as I have come to know my Savior, and have tried to love as He does, I have felt my heart grow even more! The same is true for y'all at home. I love each one of you. As I have been away, my love and appreciation has grown for you. I feel like the Grinch.. when his heart grew 3 times its size! I love the Lord. As I read the scriptures, I come to better understand His plan and His way. I know our family can, and will live together forever as long as we stay on the path.
I'm excited for the week ahead, as we have our final 3 Zone Conferences. President has given trainings on the Gathering of Israel and the Abrahamic Covenant. I cannot wait to hear it 3 more times. Each time, I learn so much more and I come to learn who I really am. This is real. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the ONLY way to exaltation. I feel the power of the Restoration flowing in my veins. I love this gospel. It's true.
Con mucho amor!
