What a memorable week it has been! We had our first baptism! Such an amazing moment, and I couldn´t help but get emotional during the confirmation. The spirit was so strong! I can´t even describe the joy I felt these past few days, knowing that I was able to be an instrument in the Lord´s hand to help bring Lucas unto Christ. I was reminded that day why I chose to serve a mission!
But it´s funny how Satan works.. I was on cloud nine after the baptism and the confirmation on Sunday. Then we had lunch some members Sunday afternoon, and for some reason I had the hardest time understanding them. They talked so fast, and I felt so lost the entire time I was there. I started to doubt myself again and inability to speak the language still. But then during my personal study, I found something that really comforted me. I read D&C 1:23, which talks about how the gospel will be preached by the weak.. and yup that´s me. I know I am weak, but I find strength in Christ. It is during those times of weakness, that we are humbled, and we can recognize the small tender mercies in our life. I am so so grateful for this humbling opportunity, each day I find more reasons why I love the life I live.
