Well
Mom,
You're
right. This has been a different week. I learned more than normal this week...
One
thing I wish to share that I learned is how to teach with power and authority
about the authority of God on this earth, and teach it in a way that whenever I
talk about it everyone understands it no matter their education level. With
this understanding, new doors are being opened. The Lord taught me how to teach
it simply yet extremely boldly, and as I do it people gain understanding and
start to investigate the church.
I
also gained a much deeper desire to follow spiritual promptings. If I realize
that I didn't follow them, it bugs my conscience and makes me feel sick. The
Lord even saw fit to give me a second chance this past week at someone I was
supposed to share our message with, so I talked to her, but because it was a
"her" I only halfhearted it and I’m furious with myself. I even had fellow
shippers so it was a pwede!
About
your letters you have been trying to write to me, I understand why that is. I
don't question why you know I have been all over the place emotionally. YOU ARE
MOM! You have super powers that no man can comprehend. I accepted that fact a
long time ago. :) It’s just I have been all over the place spiritually and
emotionally.
My
desire has fluxed from one end of the spectrum to the other along with who I am
as a missionary. I understand better than ever what I need to do right now, but
I can't seem to get it right more than one day in a row, and its ticking me off
and throwing me all out of whack. One day it’s the language, the next day it’s
my desire, the next my studies are cut short, then my teaching skills go out
the window...then in between I have amazing experiences where I can't doubt the
reality of my Savior.
Through
the Lord's guidance I have an overflowing teaching schedule working only a
third of my area, I have 2 investigators that passed their interviews that are
being baptized this week, I was guided through a special case baptismal
interview and handled it perfectly without damaging the nanay's hope of being
baptized or her faith. We have 7 baptisms in my zone this week with 6 of them
being in my district. I see miracles left and right. The Lord is blessing me so
much its blowing my mind... yet at times my desire drops. I lose hope for a
second. I don't feel the spirit in a lesson. I don't follow the Lord's
guidance.
I'm
kinda realizing the same thing happened to Elder Schmidt when he trained me and
was made district leader. He wanted to be perfect. He knew what he needed to
do, was determined to do it, but kept messing up. It killed him. It absolutely
drove him nuts. I feel the exact same way. I don't know how to fix it mom...
I
love you all so much. I am thankful for this time I have to serve the Lord. I
will continue to do my best and I know the Lord will guide me to the blessing
of all those I teach. Thank you for all the emails. I really enjoy reading them
even if I don't have time to always respond. It helps me feel close to you.
I
love you guys!
