77: Training Perfection

This week...I becaome a mom to two!

For my last two weeks I am also training Hermana Hall, a gringa from Utah. We are a full-on spanglish trio in Porvenir B. One speaks a little bit of english, one speaks a little bit of spanish, and Im in the middle helping them to learn and translate. Also, Hermana Dueñas will be the new nurse in the south, so Im training her on how to be a nurse. It has been a crazy week but I wouldnt have it any other way.

Estiven got baptized! It was beautiful, I would send pictures...but I forgot to bring my memory. My second to last email and I dont send pictures, que barbaridad Hermana Morgan. He is a true light, Im grateful to have played a role in helping him get baptized.

Toño is about to become the greatest Amulek Porvenir has ever had! Since his baptism he has invited all of his friends to church and taken us to their houses to teach them. My companions will have a lot of success with him, there is great power in local member missionary work.

I have been focusing my studies on my dependence on the Lord for all things. After all success in this life, how do we continue?

Mosiah 4:

11...I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and longsuffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.

12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.

13 And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to live peaceably, and to render to every man according to that which is his due.

What magnificent, specific blessings promised for recognizing our dependence on the Lord. I desire to rejoice, to feel Gods love, to retain a remission of my sins, to grow in knowledge and walk peaceably. What more could I want? Each day, as I repent and prefect myself bit by bit, I rejoice! I have peace! I feel my Saviors love. I understand better now his sacrifice, He suffered, died, and now lives. I cannot have true peace unless I depend on Him who is mighty to save.

Hasta El Fin...
