Hello hello hellooooo!
I
hope everyone is well and happy! Anyone else can´t believe that today
is December 5th??? Maybe I´m more in doubt because here it´s warm, which
is super strange. Sometimes my companion says something like, "you know
Christmas is arriving because of the warm climate.." and I´m like
🤔what? hahah
But
this week went by super fast and nothing reallllllly exciting or
eventful happened. Last pday I learned how to make "cocada" a superrr
yummy coconut cookie! It takes a lot of time to make so most likely I
won´t make it until after I get back, but you all should look up a
recipe because seriously it´s sooo good.
One
day this week I thought to myself, "today I want to find a 4-leaf
clover." And then during the day we stopped for a second to take a
break, and I looked down at my feet and FOUND ONE!!!! How cool is
that??? Super sweet coincidence. But actually I think Heavenly Father
heard my thought and wanted to make my day 🙂
I´m
really excited because today my district is FINALLY going to celebrate
Thanksgiving!!! I made 2 pumpkin pies, so it´ll be great ;) hahaha
But
i´d like to share something that I learned this week during my district
meeting. My District Leader said something a little unusual, something
that I have never before thought about, BUT that I began to ponder a
ton this week and find it reallly important to recognize and so I want
to share it with you all!
He
said something like this, "everyday y ou all plan who you wilil teach,
where you will teach, and when you will teach. You all need to thing
about the fact that Satan also is planning every day how he can distrupt
your work. You all need to be prepared."
OKAY
yes this is a very unusual statement right? And a little bit
disturbing- well not disturbing but I can´t think of a better word.
His
statement was directed to us missionaries, but the same principle can
be applied to all of us- every day WE absolutely must be prepared or
Satan will try and influence us to try and make the wrong choice, and
the wrong choice always always always leads to unhappiness. I don´t
want you all to be unhappy, I want you all to be HAPPY and JOYFUL :)
And so does Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
So
what can we do to be prepared? We can pray for help. Imagine if
everyone in the world as soon as they woke up, knelt down on their knees
and offered a prayer to Heavenly Father- asking Him for help and
strength for that day. How much better would this world be? How much
more joyful and happy??
As
a missionary, I pray a TON. Because the work that I am doing is soo
special and sacred to the Lord, and I want to give Him my ALL. I know
that you all can pray and give Heavenly Father your all as well! And as
you do, He will protect you.
I
love each one of you who is reading this (and those who aren´t as
well 😉). I want you all to have the best day, week and lives possible!
And I know that is only possible through Jesus Christ.
So this week, smile a little more, pray a little more, and love Christ and Heavenly Father a whole lot MORE ❤
