On Sunday 10 minutes before church we (Sister Milla and I) were asked to share something for 5-7 minutes, piece of cake right?....not.... I am really bad at last minute things. We were asked to talk about missionary work, seeing as I talked about that 1 month prior, I think I did pretty well.
This week we have been trying really hard to find new people to teach. We try and find people to talk to on the street but there are never any people, but since this is the Lords work he provides a way! This week we received 4 referrals from other missionaries! It was great! We contacted one of them and added her to our teaching pool. Her name is Lupe, she is super sweet! She is so great! She has been saving up to on day have a charity event in Mexico. We will visit her again on Wednesday. We had a great day at the temple. A girl who came to the temple with a group of friends asked us how she can be a member of this church. I was stunned, we don't get that everyday. Her friends were LDS, they had returned from a humanitarian service project and they took her to church and to see a baptism. She shared that for the first time in her life she felt a part of something. It was a great day! I know that there are people prepared for this gospel. I know that this gospel is for everyone, but not everyone is ready. that is the hard thing to accept as a missionary, that not everyone is prepared to learn to grow and to change. Like Jacob says in 2 Nephi 6:3
"Nevertheless, I speak unto you again; for I am desirous for the welfare of your souls. Yea, mine anxiety is great for you; and ye yourselves know that it ever has been. For I have exhorted you with all diligence; and I have taught you the words of my father; and I have spoken unto you concerning all things which are written, from the creation of the world."
I love how he said, "nevertheless, I speak unto you AGAIN". I wonder how many times he must have tried to share the gospel. No matter what happened to him, no matter if they rejected him, he kept sharing. I will keep sharing no matter what, because I know how important it is for everyone to hear. I love my Savior, that is why I am trying to do his work and will!
