Hey everyone, i want to share with you all a really cool expereince that happened to me last night and strenghened my testimony even more in serving others and the power thereof.
So ok, my week was ok...not much really changes as a missionary but, i wll tell you we have been looking for new investigators like crazy because we dont have too many and so thats been nice and weve been getting referals too. I attended to birthday party of this lady who is 79 but acts like a 30 year old in personality and is about as tall as yoda lol, its awesome.her name is nanay (mom) Cedrine. So that was fun..so its been nice..our new house is a quite humid so thats a little rough but its nothing i cant adjust to lol. But still working hard. And i want to share an experience with you that happened last night. I was somewhat discouraged after meeting with this less active family and the father and talking to him outside of the house and finding that he wouldnt join the church with like his family because of tradition. And so i told him that we were kind of sad because that means he dosent want to be with his family for all eternity and i felt very much so the love of God for this man and his family and just the sadness that this man wouldnt accept such a wonderful message because of tradition. So, then we went to another house of another less active who has quite a few vises (addictions) and so i was a little saddened from this last family but as i thought, discerned, and listened to this man and the spirit, i actually felt so much better and started to really love this man, and saw his potential. And it led to a very good lesson and i went away feeling much better. It just reminds me of what President Monson said how the happiest people are those who are in the service of others and the most miserable are always thinking of themselves and how that is so very true because well lately ive been feeling so happy simply because i havent been thinking about myself at all. As soon as i do i get frusterated, or mad and the work stops and the area starts to struggle, but if i study,pray and think about the people, everything even though its hard, seems easier and i feel happier and really begin to love the people. Its awesome. I remember President Uchtdorf says "Humilty is not thinking less OF ourselves, but thinking MORE about OTHERS and LESS about ourselves." Its all so very true and i expereinced it agan last night.
I love this gospel and all that it entails. Kabalo ko guid nga guided guid ind nga simbahan paagi sa mga buhi nga propeta kag mga apostoles. I cannot beleive that i near the sunset of my mission and im actually the longest out in the field in my new district here in Estancia and here in the apartment, and one of the oldest in the zone...its crazy. But the happiness ive been feeling is so hard to describe but oh so wonderful.So ok, my week was ok...not much really changes as a missionary but, i wll tell you we have been looking for new investigators like crazy because we dont have too many and so thats been nice and weve been getting referals too.
