So after we got robbed and before Sister Clark got Dengue this week was miraculous!
We started teaching 43 new people this week!! And we taught 37 lessons this week!! So many miracles!!!!
In our district council this week we read this quote in PMG
"None
of us should be like the fishermen who thinks he has been fishing all
day when in reality he has spent most of his time getting to and from
the water, eating lunch, and fussing with his equipment. Fishing success
is related to how long you have your line in the water, not to how long
you are away from the apartment. Some fishermen are away from home for
twelve hours and have their line in the water for ten hours. Other
fishermen are away from home for twelve hours and have their line in the
water for only two hours. This last type may wonder why they do not have
the same success as others."
This really hit
us and we realized that we can be using our time so much better and we
also realized that we have wasted time. I'm so grateful for this. This
week we have done our best to be all day fishermen and we have seen so
much success and miracles from it. We were able to teach 12 lessons in a
day, two days in a row and we owe it all to Heavenly Father leading us
to the elect and for fishing all day!
Also I
need to give a huge shoutout to the best trainee EVER!
Sister Clark
takes greenie fire to another level. She's so so diligent and so so
excited to work. She's our schedule mastermind and she's always
inspiring and motivating us to work harder and to keep going. I'm so
grateful for her and for her desire to teach all day. I'm so blessed.
She's honestly changed my mission in just two weeks. SO send extra
prayers that she will heal quickly! Dengue takes all your energy and
strength sometimes for 6 months. God needs her guns a blazing because
she's the BEST!
Some miracles!
Daisy
Joy: aka GOLDEN. We gave her 2 nephi 32 to read last week after she
accepted the invitation to be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. AND
SHE READ! and she TOOK NOTES!!!! We taught her on Saturday and asked if
she read and she said yes and then she took out a paper from her Book of
Mormon and she had written a summary of everything she learned and
understood. Bakod!
Nitnit and Zid: They texted
us the morning we were supposed to teach them and said they had an
emergency appointment so they had to cancel the lesson. But then we were
out teaching in their baranggay and we saw Zid! She was hanging out in
the plaza and when she saw us she came running over and told us to come
teach them. She's the best. It was like an hour later than our original
appointment was supposed to be. They're so receptive and I know Heavenly
Father timed it for us perfectly. At the beginning of the lesson Nitnit
said she didn't know if they could come to church and at the end they
were like "We'll be there!" The power of the spirit is real. We taught
about Gospel Dispensations and prophets and how God needs us to have a
prophet to he can keep us safe and before we even brought it up Zid
asked "So who's the living prophet today!" Golden.
Also
we taught the emergency room staff while Sister Clark was getting her
Dengue tests. I'm telling you, you can't stop this girl haha. We taught
them about the restoration and they had so many questions. One of them
John- wants to have an appointment with us to learn more. Yippee!
Honestly I get really overwhelmed out here sometimes.Be fixed in your purpose, for Satan will try you; The weight of your calling he perfectly knows. <--
This is really true. The weight of others salvation can get pretty
heavy sometimes. And sometimes we get prideful or silly or forget and
try to rely on our own strength. I have a strong testimony that we can't
do that. We need to be humble. we need to let Heavenly Father do His
own work- in His way. And when we let Him the miracles will come. The
blessing will come and we can do our part in His strength.
Thank you Emily for this scripture today:
D&C 123: 16 You know, brethren, that a
17 Therefore, dearly beloved b
I'm
the smallest helm. 'The weakest of the weak'. But I can do my best. I
can do my part. I can consecrate my efforts to the Lord and then watch
him do His work.
The Gospel is simple. Don't complicate it. Jesus Loves you and The church is true!
