Hi everyone! Happy Monday! How are y'all doing? I hope you've been doing well and had a great week! This week we were able to have a few great lessons and be able to meet and get to know some great people that have incredible desires to learn and grow more!
On Tuesday we had one of the Zone Leaders come to be with us for the week because his companion finished his missionary service. Among us three we were covering the whole area of Cerro and Colonia which use to be 2 zones back in the day 😅. It's been pretty crazy but we've had lots of great blessing, one of the last ones being on Sunday night when it kind of hit me more that we had so many people to help and that we just couldn't help everyone so we had to decide where to focus our efforts I put in the last few minutes of the day to make some phone calls to people in our contacts that I felt like we needed to call. I really prayed that God would help us to find the people that needed strength and that we needed to help because we just couldn't do it on our own. I called a few people, the majority of whom didn't answer, but the very last person I called answered and said she had talked with missionaries before and sounded interested in being able to learn more. It was a great experience for me and I'm grateful for the love, direction and help that God gives to us as we fully put our faith in Him.
I was also thinking recently that God is going to be asking us a few questions when we come before Him at the last day and one of them will be if we gave all of our Heart might mind and strength to love and serve Him and help His children return to Him. I definitely want to give all I've got and I know that I definitely haven't been perfect and have made my fair share of mistakes and bad choices, but I want to give all I've got to Him and do the best I can! I feel like God can bless and help us more than we can realize if we just choose to love and follow Him. I think it's more about the direction we are heading and what we've been feeling and desiring in our heart as well and that we've just got to put all we've got for the use of the Lord! I know He will help and give all He's got for us which is such a great blessing, and I pray that we can do the same for Him! So I encourage you to think about that a little bit more; "what more can I give to the Lord/be doing for Him/increase in my love for Him?" I promise the love and strength, help and answers and blessings will come if we put all we've got at the feet of the Lord! Have a great week, love you all!
