MLC CHANGED MY LIFE!
Hello all!
This week was super
awesome. I feel like it changed my entire outlook as a missionary. It just
kinda adjusted the trajectory that my mission was heading and made me realize
how much more I can "milk" out of my mission.
On Friday we had MLC,
Mission Leadership Council, where all the mission leaders get together and
receive training, talk about the mission, etc. This one was apparently
different than any of the other ones in the past (also the first one I’ve ever
been to). We truly counseled all together about our mission goals in the same
way that it speaks of in the scriptures. The spirit was so strong. At one point
in the council we were all on our knees praying together. Imagine that, 20-30
missionaries in one room on their knees praying to our Heavenly Father, asking
him what we should do. It was so powerful.
We are also really
shifting our focus on teaching repentance. Sister Jensen and I have been
applying everything we learned this week and have already seen a huge change in
us and especially in the people we teach. I love these people. I sincerely and
absolutely love and care for them.
Right now, we are
teaching this 17 year old girl from Bolivia. She is the sister of the Lopez
family in our ward who is seriously my mom and dad out here. I get to speak
spanish with her and translate everything at church for her. It’s been the best
thing ever. Last night she told us how she just love us so much. She said that
as soon as we walk through the door to teach her every day she just feels so
light. She is amazing and is set to be baptized this upcoming weekend but we've
had to overcome a lot of concerns so we are praying for the best!
Alicia is still so
amazing! She has been going through so much but her faith has never been
stronger! We are so excited for their wedding. Fredi is seriously our best
friend. We got this text from them last night about how they went a picked up a
woman from off the street and drove her home because Alicia learned about
service at church. She also made sure to get her direction and phone number so
we could go teach her! SHES SO GREAT!!!
This week flew by! I am
so blessed to be out here and meet all these people. I feel so lucky to learn
from them and just be their friend!
I love you all and pray
for you every day! Have a great week!!!!
