The weeks keep flying by! I feel like I just wrote one of these... Hugo has been going through a lot of trials recently. That always happens when baptismal dates draw near... 'Tis the worst. He is pushing through it though and told us that he knows it is all happening for a reason. Please keep him in your prayers.
I went on an exchange with an adorable Hermana in my zone. We worked hard, got tortas for her first time, and she even finished a Coke for the first time ever. We met this little lady from Pakistan. She could barely speak English but took us over to her house and gave us Sprite on a fancy dish. She was so humble and even though we couldn't communicate very well, we didn't have to. She was so Christlike and a perfect reminder to me of charity. That night we had a really sweet lesson with one of Hugo's friends. It was the kind of lesson that
every missionary dreams of. He said that when we first met him, he had been going through a lot of hardships and he knew God put us in his path to help him. He said at the end of the lesson that he's going to ask his boss if he can start getting work off on Sundays. :) We found another really prepared family as well that we taught this week. They have three kids and are a really tight knit family. The Lord keeps putting all these prepared people in our path. It's so crazy.
My companion is finishing her mission this week :( We've had some good times together and she's taught me a lot. So many fun little things happened this past week with her: we had a foosball tournament with a member, we helped a guy out that had a concussion at Jack in the Box, found a family, got tacos, etc. it's the little things.
All the missionaries around the world had a broadcast with a few general authorities this Wednesday. Speaking of the Savior, Neil L Andersen said to "always keep His name on your lips." I have tried my best to put that into practice this week and I have seen immediate blessings. It seems as though everyone wants to listen to us now. I know He died for me, but more importantly I know that He overcame that death. He lives and his infinite atonement is available to us always. Reading the Book of Mormon is the easiest way to learn more of his
perfect atonement and how we can use it. I love Heavenly Father and my Savior more than I can explain and without them I am nothing.
"We testify that He will someday return to earth. 'And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together' (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts."
