We had intercambios this weekend, and I went with Hermana Schiller, her sector is on the Galapagos!! She is really awesome and has such a happy spirit. She is the only 2 people in her family who are active, she is really strong and such a good example that she on a mission. I really surprised myself. It was awesome to be able to take the lead and teach the investigators. We broke our record with lessons with member, we had 6 and I didnt even need my trainer! I know the area, the member know me, and I am able to do this. The Lord keeps showing me that I can do this, and when I start to think of myself, and feel tired mentally, I do this things that I need to. When I focus on my conversos, I no longer feel the way I feel. I want Giovanna, Eduardo, and Francisco to progress. They are so special and I know that if I do all I can to help them, they will be able to have strong testimonies for life. Recieving baptisms is great, but when they progress, endure to the end, and go to the temple...that is what matters to me. and That is part of our purpose, they endure to the end and reciece their covenants in the temple.
For a long time I wondered why I am still in Centenario, but I know that it is because I need to help Giovanna, Eduardo, and Francisco, they need me because no other missionary knows them the way I do.
I read in Jacob 1:17-19, and it was just after Nephi had died and the people started to become more wicked, but Jacob, was consecrated a priest for these people, and has taught them in temple the things of the Lord, he knows that it his responsibility to magnify his office and answer the sins of the people upon his head, if he did not teach them the word of God with all diligence where their blood might not come on his garments, or their reason for falling was not his culpa (fault) he knows that he will not have to answer for them during judgment. I realized this relates to missionary work, we as missionaries go through the temple before we are set apart, and we learn about the Plan of Salvation in the temple, and that everyone is child of a loving heavenly father. We are set apart because it is a hard job, but it worth it. and we have a heavy job description, the salvation of the childern of God is in our hands, but if we labor dilligently with all of our souls to teach them and bring them to Christ, we will not have to answer for them at judgment. This is a calling that is more than a trip, it is a lifetime calling and we are helping so many people. I hope that I can do the best I can to bring these people to Christ, and I hope that people will accept him!
Love you all!
