Hello Family and Friends
so this week I gotta be quick!!!
But I wanted to share a bit of an experience I had, at the beginning of my mission I felt very behind from other missionaries, so I decided to do EVERYTHING while on my mission, soon after my smart decision I realize that I will always be missing the experience part, so even though I wanted to finish primary, Young women, seminary and institute in 18 months thats just not possible.
Although I was blessed with the opportunity to serve with in primary and learn some of the hymns and feel for myself what would have been like to be in primary, I had the opportunity to help the Youth with their seminary and start reading D&C with them, I was blessed to serve with great YW leaders whom allowed me to do my own personal progress and also help within their auxiliaries which allowed me to complete my own personal progress and also I was granted permission from the stake to receive my medallion.
I studied very hard and mark my scriptures like crazy, and this week I felt a bit hesitant since I will be going home soon with an very common question for my situation, Have I done enough? the question continued on and on, and for those who know me well, they know how hard I can be on myself, besides I had neglected a prompting to ask for a priesthood blessing several weeks before due to my stubbornness. this time the impression came after a very strongly after a very unpleasant situation my companion and I had last week.
As I received this blessing, I was comforted to hear several things, but one of them was "BE of good Cheer, its a commandment from your Heavenly Father" and it immediately the scripture I read from D&C came to my mind: " 17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
18 And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be ofgood cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom isyours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches ofeternity are yours." D&C 78:17-18
Well, I learned my lesson, blessing are not just for the sick, programs are not just for their age groups and trials don't always come and go easy but again we dont know everything, nor we understand it all, but the Lord give us exactly what we need and when we need it.
I love my mission, and the things I have learned, my grateful to be able to serve a mission and for the gospel in my life.
May you all have a wonderful week.
Love
