Change of Heart

Dearest Family,

 

I hope y'all had a wonderful week. I sure did! 

This week our Zone has interviews with President Ashton. Let me just say, I have the BEST mission president in the world. We talked a lot about my health issues and I now have a way different outlook with them. We talked about how the purpose of my mission wasn't only to find and help people come unto Christ, but also to learn how to fully trust in the Lord. In my life that has always been something I have struggled with, letting the Lord really help me. The majority of the time I feel like I can do it myself. But man was a wrong! Try going through life like that...let alone missionary work. That's not how His plan is designed. The plan was for us to always recieve help and guidence, but it depends on our hearts how much we will recieve. Because another part of His plan for us is to be able to choose. We can accpet or reject His help. I am learning how to accept His help, because really that is the only way I am going to be the happiest.

 

We had a great week with teaching! Hno. Noesi is progressing and really understanding the Spirit, that's most important. Eva has dropped off the face of the earth...we are going to give her a break for a while and try later.

 

I was able to sing at the investigator and recent convert devotional last night. It went really well. Y'all know how I get really nervous and my legs are shaky? Well this was the first time in my entire life when I wasn't nervous. And I had all the reason to be because I'm out of shape and it was a last minute improv but I was so calm. I realized though as I sat down afterwards that that was the first time in a very long time when I looked for Dad in the crowd and didn't see him. But I didn't cry. SEE? I'm getting better! :)

 

Well Family I love y'all so very much! Have a wonderful week and know I love being here and learning all that I need to. Be safe and enjoy your time together as a family!

 

Love,

Hermana Florence
