This week has been great!! And also the worst! Lol the best of both worlds...
We had a fantastic Christmas eve and Christmas!! We did alot of fun things. I won't say everything we did because that would bore you but we played some ping pong, watched the Incredibles 2, ATE A TON OF HISPANIC FOOD, spent quality time with the other members in the district #indysquad., and of course talking with my FAMILY! (give me 12 weeks and I'll know) lol
Then the next 2 days of the week I spent dying in bed because I got sick. I lost a total of 7 pounds in 2 days/: and now 5 out of the 7 missionaries got the same sickness. Basically everyone in Indiana is getting sick right now. But that doesn't stop us because #thegrinddontstop
So we had a cool miracle.... This guy named Gilberto moved here from Mexico about 7 months ago. And his mom and sister are recent concerts to the church. And he has taken the missionary discussion and has come to church while he lived in Mexico. But he moved here so he didn't get baptized... And then like 2 weeks ago he said he was praying to have God guide him to the church so he could go here, because he didn't know how to find it. Then guess what??..................... Chicken butt. Lol jk WE KNOCKED ON HIS DOOR. so now he wants to come to church and he wants to be baptized so we were able to get a date for him to be baptized... #TheLordProvides🎅🏿🦅
I know this gospel is real. And Jesus christ does live and he is our savior. I know God is a God of miracles and we can still see miracles like the people of old saw. One of the biggest miracles I am most grateful for is the atonement. I am grateful that we can continually strive to become better and be the person that God wants us to be. On this mission I have truly been able to see the potential that God has for me and who I can become while I am out here in Indiana. And I know I cannot become that person unless I humble myself daily and pray with all my heart for forgiveness and strive to be better. And by doing this every night in my prayers I have been able to see a fraction of what is in store for me. I am truly grateful for all of my blessings and for my savior and his example that i can look towards. I know this life is hard sometimes and yeah we have difficult moments, and sometimes we get busy with worldly things. But all God wants is just for us to reach out to him daily. He loves us and misses us. So idk how many of you are actually doing your daily prayers. BUT DO THEM. Pray to be able to see yourself the way God sees you and your potential. It works. I have done it. And my perspective has changed and I have been able to see a little bit of the eternal perspective.
But I love you all. Thanks for all the Christmas presents. Shout out to elder ponds mom for sending me a package. Shes the real homie.
