Week #60: Dios nunca deja de prepararnos para el futuro
Yoo everyone! ¿Como estamos? This week was awesome! Full of trips going up to an area on the border of Brazil and then, the day after, going down to Montevideo for a mission conference. They were both awesome, and even though we didn't get to work a lot in our own area, we saw miracles and God blessed us with success amongst the people!
Yesterday a few people we are teaching, actually showed up at church! We were so excited to see them and they all seemed to love it! God seems to always bless us when we just help other people and do His will. Someone else who came to church was Rodrigo! He is getting baptized this week!!! We are honestly so excited for this baptism. We found Rodrigo a few weeks ago, when we were visiting his aunt and uncle, who are members, but weren't going to church. After a few weeks of teaching him, we will now have his baptism! He is already super excited to serve a mission in the following year and the thought of being able to go to a foreign place to simply teach the gospel to other people who are like him and are searching for the true gospel in their lives.
Rodrigo was so perfectly prepared to recieve the gospel it's crazy honestly. He came from a little pueblo just a few months ago to study in the city and live with his aunt and uncle. In his pueblo, the church still doesn't exist, so he wouldn't have ever heard the gospel if he was still living there. Maybe the thing Ive learned more than anything while being a missionary is that God is constantly preparing us for things in the future.
Sometimes our preparation is a trial we have to pass through, or an obstacle we have to overcome, but there isn't a second of the day that God isn't constantly guiding us so that eventually, we return to Him. We truly have a Heavenly Father who loves us, and wants only the best for us.
Sometimes we think we know better than Him. We think that we know what is going to help us in our lives better than what He knows, or we forget that He has His own personal plan for us, and He knows what will help us have success in our mortal lives. God loves us, and sent His own Son just so that we can return to live with Him. Quisiera declarar estas cosas a todas las personas del mundo, por que no hay otra manera ni otro camino para regresar a su presencia
