The Lord Puts People in Our Path

AHHH I am so excited to be staying here with Hermana Call for another transfer. This transfer is shortened to 4 weeks so that the new Mission President won´t have to do transfers when he comes in 6 weeks. That means we have 4 weeks to find more people, and 4 weeks to become even better missionaries here in Cauquenes. It also means we will both be here for the baptism of Sis. L!!! We are so excited for her, and she is progressing so well. Please pray that nothing keeps her from being baptized and pray for us this week that we can find more prepared people to be baptized while we are here in Cauquenes. This week we have a goal of finding 2 new investigators each day, so please pray that we can do this. 

I am glad to hear about and to see all of my beautiful friends!! That was such a treat to watch those videos and see the pictures. Thank you so much!!! Please tell all of those girls that I love and miss them, and am so proud of each of them and the light they shine! I miss you all, but know that this is where the Lord needs me to be, and that you are all doing great! I hope this week has been good, and that everyone is well!

This week I have learned that everything is in the Lord´s hands. He puts us in specific places to meet specific people at very specific times. These are people that He has prepared, people that need us specifically for some reason that only our Heavenly Father and Savior know. My companion and I are here because there are specific people that need us, both of us, not just one. We were talking about this last night before transfers and she was saying that she thinks the people that we meet, are people that we knew in the premortal life and that we promised we would find them in this life, and we promised we would find them together. But this is not just in the mission field. We meet people everyday that the Lord has put in our path for a reason. We are to be an example them, help them, teach them, serve them, love them. We get to choose how we will influence them, will it be for good or for bad? On the mission we have been set apart to represent the Savior, and so we must be very careful at all times to only do those things that He would do. But every member and every Christian has this same calling. We are all called to represent the Savior as we follow Him, and we must be careful to make sure that we represent Him in everything that we do, say, and think. We never know who is watching us, who is learning from our example, or who is being prepared to received the Gospel and come to know their Savior. I challenged you all to remember that you are called as missionaries too! You are set apart from the world to stand as a witness of Christ at all times, and in all things, and in all places. He will help you as you pray for help to choose the right and follow Him. He has commanded us to be perfect like Him, and we know from 1 Nephi 3:7 that He gives no commandment unto the children of men save He shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which He hath commanded them. He can help us to become like Him if we ask for His help. I love you all and am so proud of your examples, and of you mission calls. Keep shining His light! I hope you have a fantastic week full of miracles! We are going to have one here in Cauquenes! Thank you for your prayers and support! Adios por esta semana! Chou!
