Chan xe'rin?
I'm learning another
language!!! It's called Q'eq'chi' and it's SUPER hard to learn, but it's pretty
cool.
I don't have too much
time to write this week, but it was pretty good. We had concilio, and we got a
lot of new instructions to share with the zone.
Other than that, the
week wasn't too interesting. But I want to tell you guys something I've been
thinking about lately.
OK, so imagine
missionaries stopping you on the street and talking to you, but the very
instant that you talking to them, even in you're in a rush or in a hurry, a
thought comes to your mind: "These people are servants of God." Even
if you don't believe in God, you invite them to your home, and a couple days
later, when they get there, when you hear the message, you feel the Spirit in
your heart, you know it's true, and you want to learn more and read. You feel
inspired to pray and to find out for yourself, and change your life.
For those who know
what missionary work is like, wouldn't it be great to find people like that
every day? That every single person who you talk to would be like that?
So I've been thinking.
Why does it depend so much on the person? Normal people who don't have the
gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives don't have the Spirit. They've never falt
it before. So does it really depend on the "preparedness" of the
person or does it depend on the spirit that the missionary brings? We should
always be preparing, doing everything we can -members, too- so that when people
see us, they know we're different. Do things that allow the Spirit to be with
you, so that it can be your constant companion. Be Christ-like, and love
everything around you. Cast out all negativity, cast out every angry thought,
cast out all uncleanliness from your souls. Be ye clean, that bear the vessels
of the Lord.
I'm teaching the missionaries
here to do that. I'm not perfect, and I'm still in the process, but I believe
that this is the secret
Speaking of being
Christlike, all of you guys should watch this video and think about what you
can do to serve others. www.mormon.org --
watch that video it is the best video I have seen in a long time
