Drew mail 3-25-2021: "Some Come Early, Some Come Late and Some...."

 


Hi everyone! How are you doing this week? I hope you’ve been doing good and that you feel great love from God in your daily life! I'm so grateful for all you do and am so greatly blessed by your faith, example, love and prayers, so thank you! I hope you know that God just loves you so much. I've been praying for you and hope you have been getting answers to your prayers and getting more direction, light and love each moment as you look to Christ with love and hope! 

I'm going to be leaving Tacuarembo tomorrow to go to the same zone I started in, Cerro! I'm excited and grateful for this great opportunity and sad at the same time to be leaving here and leaving Elder Lui. He has been an incredible blessing for me and I'm so grateful for everything he does to work and lift others up, he's incredible! I don't know who I'll be with or where exactly I'll be, but I feel good about going to this new area!

The title of the email I took from a quote from Elder Holland where he says something to the effect of "Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven.” Having looked back on my time here on Tacuarembo I feel good about my service but I also think I could've done more and worked to better develop relationships with others if I stayed longer,  but then looking back I've realized I've seen so many great blessings and experiences and I know it's been according to God's will! I've seen so many tender mercies that have been miracles for me, some things that may seem small to others but have been incredible and great to me. I know God loves me, answers prayers and that Jesus Christ is working with us in His work. I've loved getting to serve others and help be a little light in their path that I hope will help guide them and give them the direction they need to draw closer to and become more like our Savior and Heavenly Father. I'm so grateful for the people we've been able to find and talk with and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. I love seeing the light come into their lives and be filled with hope, it's incredible! I'm so grateful for my Heavenly Father and I just love Him so very much! 

All of this applies to you and I want you to know that you can see miracles and receive blessings according to God's time and way.  He will give you all you need as you trust in Him. Ask to see the blessings, ask to serve and grow and love, then buckle up and get ready to work and give your all to Him. I promise you'll be blessed and given what you need and as you work to remember your experiences and share them and give all you've got to give to the Lord you will be filled with great love, light, joy and great purpose and miracles. It will come, I promise! Just take one step at a time, love God and put your faith in Jesus Christ and great things will come. I love you and am so grateful for you! Whatever I can do for you, let me know! Have a great week and look for those great blessings from God!
