On
Christmas Eve, one of our members invited us over to eat some dinner
with her and all of her family. Just over a month ago, her husband
passed away because of a brain problem. To see her, still smiling, still
going, still enjoying life, humbled me down to my very core. I was just
sitting there, enjoying some BBQ chancho, singing some Christmas hymns,
and that is when my eyes were opened. I was called here to lift the
hearts and the spirits of those who are on the verge of giving up. I was
called here to find those chosen elect of God. I was called here to do
the will of my Father in Heaven, because that is the only uniquely
personal thing that we can literally give to him. I was able to share my
strong testimony with them in my simple Spanish, and man, the Spirit
was there. I am forever grateful for this calling I've been given.
CHRISTMAS DAY: We had a little shaky morning with all of our investigators, but I GOT TO TALK TO MY FAMILY AFTER! I cannot explain the joy that came to me during this moment I shared with them.
I am
so grateful for all of you and for this time of year. I read a story in
Luke the other week about the 10 lepers. Always show that gratitude to
the Lord, even in your trials! Remember what he did for us.
Another wonderful work in the Lord´s work completed. HAPPY NEW YEARS! Bring on 2017.
