Familia Mia!
Well it has been a week full of learning! Each week is, but especially this week I have learned to really trust in the Lord.
First
off, Eva is doing so great! I forgot to write last week that our flute
duet went great! My fingers were shaking a lil bit, ha but it turned out
great and for my first flute duet after 3 weeks of learning, it was
great and really brought the spirit before the baptism. We played Nearer
my god to thee. Eva is very active, Reading her scriptures, and doesnt
even like to sing but is part of the choir for branch conference with
us! Hna Gozan is leading and Im on the piano like always. Im so glad my
senior year I made the goal to play every hymn in the hymn book. It has
helped so much and I have been able to help out each week make sacrament
meeting that much more reverant. Anyways, Eva has been way excited to
share the góspel with her friends, her family is Catholic and are not
all that supportive, but I know that through her example her family will
be blessed.
Alexis was able to come to church! El problema ahora
es que el va a comenzar clases en la noche, y trabajar en las mañanas!
Sorry for the random outbreak in spanish! in otherwords, we are only
going to be able to tteach him on the weekends, which is going to be a
Little difficult to help him keep progressing, but not imposible and I
konw that he will be able to reach his goal of baptism! I sure hope Ill
be here when he is baptized! He has such great faith and is so sincere.
Cambios are the 24th of March-either
me or hna gozan are heading out, and we have no idea which! Im fine
either way, I know the Lord knows better than me where I am needed, so
Im not going to try to say what I want.. haha
This week has been the most rough for Hna Gozan, she
found out her neice might have cáncer. She has been struggling, and I
have been struggling too to help her be motivated. We had our interviews
with President Rowley, and he shared with me the story from conference
by Elder Vinson. Theres a boy and he has a huge rock to move, and does
all he can to move it, but he cant. He goes to his dad and says that he
has done all he can, but still cant move the rock. The dad says, no you
havent done everything, because you havent asked me for help yet! The
dad then procedes to help his son move the rock. Pres Rowley told me
there is going to be a rock or two in my path, the trick is going to my
father in heaven and asking for help. I made the goal to pray more
fervently, and this week I was able to do that, since I have prayed hard
to recieve help from the Lord. He has indeed helped me, and I know he
will! There are going to be lots of rocks in our path, but I know as we
turn to the Lord and trust in him, we will be able to move them, and
come out stronger!
Its like in gymnastics when I was learning back hand
back hand on the balance beam. Julie would stand back behind me further
down the beam to spot me on the second backhandspring. I would often
times prepare to go, but look back to make sure she was still there. I
knew she was there, and I knew she wasnt going to leave, but I just had
to doublé check once in a while. Sometimes I would fall, but would
always get back up and be more determined to stick it next time.
Sometimes we need to be reminded that God is there for us, he always
will be and wont move, like coach Julie. He wants us to stick it and
have success, we just have to have trust in him, and go for it. lots of
times I didint go for the second backhandspring because of fear of
falling or because I wasnt focused. This leads to more fear, and no
progression because I will never learn to stick it! So its just better
to trust in the Lord and go for it, no matter what.
Im thankful for learning this this week and know Im never
alone and that with God all things are posible. It is important to
remember hte Why and the Who of each day. Why am I hear, and Who am I
hear for? As I ask these two questions each day it helps me and gives me
strength to keep going. I know Im here to share what I know is true
with all those around me, and I know Im here for my father in heaven and
Jesús Christ! Each day is so imporatnt and has a purpose, and this
gives me strength.
Thanks for all your love and support! Missing yall because i love yall! Hope yall have a great week!
los amo!
