Week 32: Llamado por Dios
Comó andan todos!? ¡Espero que estén teniendo un buen día! This week was a great one for us here in Tacuarembo! We had a Multi zone conference up in Rivera near the border of Brazil, and I can now officially say I have entered into the country of Brazil and I couldn't be happier! We took some awesome pictures in a plaza right on the border of the two countries with the two flags of Uruguay and Brazil, but the thing that was even better than that was the conference we had with Presidente and Hermana Olsen.
They spoke about a number of things that day, but they talked to us a little about the new mission president that will be coming to our mission this July. Presidente Dunford, and while I'm very excited to meet a new President and get to know him and his family, I found myself extremely sad, actually, that I'll have to tell President Olsen and his family goodbye soon. At first I was wishing that I'd just have one Mission President for my whole mission, but then I began to realize that President Dunford is the man called to be my mission president for the 2nd half of my mission. It grew my testimony just a little more on the topic of callings by God.
I know every single Prophet, Apostle, stake president, mission president, bishop, and even down to the deacons quorum president, is truly called by God to serve in that position. I have come to know, without a doubt, that God has a plan for each individual person in this world. There is no such thing as coincidences in this life. Every experience we have is to help us one day reach the point of dwelling with God and Jesus Christ and becoming like them. When we have that eternal perspective in our lives, everything just makes a little more sense.
Things are going great out here on the mission, I really am loving life and the things I'm learning right now, and the people I talk to everyday. I hope each of you are loving life as well! Have a great week everyone!
ps. Everyone tell my brother congrats on his engagement!!!!!!
