Just wanted everyone to know that I am heading for the airport tonight!!! I seriously can't wait to get out on the field and serve the people in Ecuador! I am so excited to finally start teaching and publishing peace! Please pray for me that my trip their will be safe and my luggage will not get lost!
It was wonderful to have the experience of being in the presence of an apostle, Elder Oaks is very factual and methodical in the way he speaks! He get's the point across! It was so amazing to hear a man who holds all the keys of the Priesthood on Earth to bind the blessings for the CCM! He talked a lot about Preach My Gospel how it was essential for success on the mission, and that member missionary work is vital! He also said that the Lord had plans for the CCM even before we were born...he said the Lord has so much more in store for it! He not only dedicated this place but he blessed all the missionaries leaving from it, that they would not be grieved! So much he said was so sacred, but I know the things he said were inspired for me and all who were there to here. I have more confidence to go out on the field, because I am blessed by a MESSENGER OF THE LORD! I know this place is a very sacred and I love the people in Mexico, I am going to be sad to leave this place and the people that I have come to know and love!
I have a testimony of prophets, and I know that they speak directly to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. There is no hesitation in their voices, they bear witness of them! They are special witnesses of Christ! I know that faith is more than believing, it is acting, and everyday we exercise our faith. I know that God puts people in our lives to help us become better, to learn to have unity and to learn to be patient with others. I also have learned to be patient with the Lord's timing, the Lord is building and shaping us, we just haven't seen his master piece in the finish yet. I also know that obedience to the commandments of God will bring endless blessings, and if we truly open our eyes to his small tender mercies, we will begin to see the miracles in our lives! I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and that he restored the church on Earth. We have to fullness of the Gospel, and the Lord is hastening His work, I am so exceedingly joyful to be apart of it, I cant wait to see the light come into people's lives and give them the hope that they always wanted but never could find. I can't wait to fall in love with the people in Ecuador! This is going to be the best year and half of my life!
Wish me luck!
