Hey everybody!
It's been an incredible week. I have learned so much and over and over the Spirit testifies to me that the work is true. As the leaves change color on the East Coast, so does my mission. Probably the biggest blessing I have seen is Heavenly Father's love for me and for His children we are working with.
You see it in the small things everyday, on just how the Lord supports and sustains us. It's incredible what blessings do come as you are obedient and doing the Lord's will. Saturday was the highlight of the week. We had 3 baptisms in the morning, Keishla Colon, Debbie Ledford, and Dominick Murphy. All of them have very different backgrounds, but all of them are just so changed by the Gospel. It's just incredible. We also had Elder Lynn G Robbins speak to us later that day as a mission. He was incredible. To see a general authority in person was amazing. He taught me a lot on how to be a successful missionary, to be a great companion, and to continually build my faith in Jesus Christ. We sang so many songs as a mission, especially the mission hymn, and to sing it as a mission for the first time for me, I just felt so much love and comfort from Heavenly Father. It was incredible, all of it. I just feel so blessed to be exposed to so much that a lot of the world doesn't really see much. I consider my family and the Gospel and how I truly know I can be happy, and how I can help others be happy as well.
But with all that in mind, I'm moving forward to becoming someone better! This is the last week of the transfer, so probably my last week with Elder Martinez! I'm just thankful for him and what he stands for. He's really opened my eyes and helped me in so many ways. I love him and I love you all. May the Lord bless you as you change for the better.
