YOU HAVE TO CROUCH/BEND DOWN TO JUMP
so this week really started off rough but dont worry, after some wonderful words
of wisdom, elder utchdorf´s talk of forget me nots, and a completely new way to
look at things this week quickly turned into a week of miracles.
we began to open our hearts to literally talk to all the people we passed
on the street, to dwell on the good things and for me-focus on people not
schedules or lessons....to really and trully enjoy my time wherever and whoever
i am with. that is when we began to really see the miracles.
to be honest here in chile, i completely forgot about thanksgiving, its
kind of a tender mercy that holidays arent that difficult for me. but i didnt
forget about the people i left back home...how much i loved them and how i pray
for you all every night.
ESPECIALLY ZALE!!!!! Zale! I thought about you a ton yesterday and how you
are now 8 years old. so grown up, and able to getr baptized. I am so proud of
you!! (Renna and Jared I thought about you guys too on your birthdays dont be
too jealous i just often forget to write about it)
we already saw a huge miracle on sunday. we had lunch with a family in the
ward well call them the ALLEN and it was so much fun and we really got to know
the family and feel at home with them...and later that day due to a series of
changes in our plans God directed us to our family of conversos recientes, where
we had an opportunity to learn that she really needed a priesthood blessing of
comfort because she was really stressed and hurting, so hermana meeks and i went
to work trying to find someone in the ward that could come that night to give
her a blessing (because she works every day from 3-midnight so really that night
was the only opportunity)....we literally called every priesthood holder we knew
in the branch and no one was available...and just as we were about to give up,
we thought of the son of the family ALLENS and called them. we did not know him
before that day, and neither did the hermana that needed the blessing and to be
honest we were a little worried about it, but told him to find whomever to
accompany him and come over asap and when he came...he brought the
elders...whom the hermana knows well and were previously occupied when we tried
to call...so the hermana received a blessing from someone she knew and felt
comfortable with, and afterwards the son ended up talking to her for a long time
and he was exactly the person she needed to talk to to feel understood and
conforted...and honestly we never would have thought to plan any of this...god
really had His hand in the middle of this night.
and really so many other miracles happened that day its hard to
explain.
i have a testimony that this church is true and i know that i am where i
need to be. and i know that god knows who i am and who i can be and i know that
if i trust in him and strive to seek His advice I will become so much better
than i could on my own.
