It's been quite a week here in good ol Puerto Escondido!! So first, Sergio wasn't able to pass his interview so we didn't have his baptism. And second me and my companion got thrown a curve ball with the changes (transfers) that we had in the mission haha!!
So I love the fact that Sergio wasn't able to pass his interview. Yes, it was tough - really tough - hearing that, but Heavenly Father gives us challenges to strengthen us and to see if we are really ready to accept him in our lives. So, we will be able to see how willing Sergio is to face this and do all he can to be worthy to get baptized!! He's such a good guy and I know that he will be able to get baptized and get sealed in the temple to his future family!!
Second, me and my companion were waiting for the changes. President Conde called us, so I answered the phone and he tells me, "I don't know if they told you or not, but your companion is going to the Istmo!!" Goodness, we were both shocked. My companion didn't want to leave and I felt like I was ready to go, but we didn't get what we wanted!! Yes, we were both a little upset about the situation, but I loved the little lesson that I learned this week - and that is in our lives we don't always get what we want, but what we NEED! And we should always ACCEPT the will of God!!
I love you all so much and I know that this church is true. I love it without a doubt! And I know that we are in the LAST days and like the scriptures say, the time to prepare is NOW!! One thing I do know is that we can't do it alone. We, as members of the Church of JESUS CHRIST have to be a team! I have felt the love of God in my life and I have felt the love for others so strongly that it hurts me when I see that some members of the church don't want to do what's right! Follow the prophet and we will ALL, as a team, come out on top! I love you all so much. Have an amazing week!!
