well a little about this week.
Hermana Canty is learning patience and trust in the Lord´s timing. sometimes we
expect our efforts to be like the fireworks, that blow up right away, when
really they arent anything like that. but its also so great to feel the
reassurance that God is pleased with the work we do. speaking of pleasing God,
this week i was reading in the Book of Mormon and came across a scripture that
got my mind going, its in 3 Nephi 11:15 its when Heavenly Father presents His
Son and it says, "For behold, this is my beloved son, in whom i am well
pleased. hear ye him." well my question is ¿how would God present us? are
we living the manner that he wants so that if he had to present us he could
say, "For behold, this is my beloved daughter Hermana Canty, in whom i am
well pleased?" that made me think this week. i hope that we can ALWAYS
strive to live in such a manner. we should not be so worried about what
everyone else thinks of us and if we are pleasing them, but we should PLEASE
GOD!
also this week we were able to
find A LOT of peace. so the stake has been planning a huge event for like a
month and it came to pass yesterday! we were able to go to the temple in
Xela!!!!!!! we went with our recent convert Frandy!!! (the event was for recent
converts to take a name to the temple and do the baptisms and confirmations for
them there. and if we took a convert we got to go!!!) IT WAS SO GREAT SEEING
THE LOOK OF FRANDY´S FACE WHEN HE WALKED OUT OF THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we werent able to go in the temple bc it was a saturday and there were lots of
people (and we cant do baptisms anyway..) but we were able to sit outside and
give some tours of the temple to some investigators which was great!!! the
spirit of the lord TRULY is there!!!! these people are so blessed!! they have 2
temples in their country and one of which is only 2 hours away!!! i seriously
love the temple. and to make it even better i was able to see one of our
converts GO AND DO BAPTISMS!!! he took a name of his grandpa and was able to be
baptized and confirmed for him!!!! when we asked him how it went when he walked
out he just sighed deeply and said, "AMAZING!!!!" i almost cried i
was so happy!!!! he was able to feel of the spirit!! i was glad he could go bc
he has been having lots of difficulties lately in his life and to go to the
temple just helped him relax. it also helped me! this week, like i said, was
one of learning and struggling, but just being at the temple for 2 hours helped
me forget all of the stresses i had and remember why i am doing what i am
doing. I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!!!! ( i took lots of pics..but have lost LOTS
so i will be saving them for when i get home to show you!! :P)
i LOVE being a missionary! this
week we had a multi-zone conference with Presidente Ruiz, and let me just tell
you, HE IS TRULY CALLED OF GOD!! for the entire time we were there i just felt
so strongly the spirit! he is one man who truly is willing to do everything in
his power to help us!
well i hope that your week has
been great! and that everyday you are striving to be better!! that is the
greatest thing, we dont have to be perfect but we have to be in perfect in
TRYING!!!! i love you all so much! thank you for your love and support ALWAYS!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!
Hermana Canty
