Hello Everyone,
So, recently I have been moved again to a new area, which is Yakima, also known as Yakistan. It has been a year and a half since I have been here, and I was here in the winter, so it is interesting to see the difference.
I am now with my THIRD companion who is a native Spanish speaker, and he is from Guatemala. Now, I don´t know why God is blessing me up with all of the native speakers, but I guess he wants me to have good Spanish, because it has been improving like crazy. The gift of tongues is real you guys. 🎁👅🙏
Unfortunately, I do not have any crazy stories from being here yet, but not to worry, there will be, guaranteed. Though there have been many little miracles that I notice each day, that help bring the work forward just a little bit more.
Recently I have been studying in preach my gospel, chapter 8, goals and plans. At the end of the chapter, it asks the question: How has your testimony strengthened from devoting your time and attention to serving the Lord? Now, I thought about this for a while, and I realized that our TIME and our ATTENTION, are some of the most valuable things to us as humans, and what we do with those things helps define who we are. My testimony has been monumentally strengthened by dedicating these two things to serving the Lord, and my faith has grown in knowing that this truly is his work and that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. So, likewise for each of you, take some time to think about where your time and attention is devoted, Is a lot of it in serving the Lord? Or is it elsewhere? Something to think about. In Matthew 22 verses 35 to 40 we find the two great commandments, which are to love God and love one another, if we love God, we will serve him by loving and serving the people around us.
I love you guys! Hope you have a good week!
