Soooo, I am super jacked about this
new year and the success that WE ARE going to accomplish.. in my personal life,
in the lifes of my family and friends, the lifes of my people here in Honduras
and in the Lords work!!!
This is my quote that I am going to
strive to live this year, ¨A successful missionary measures his success by the
peace that comes into his heart from time to time when he can honestly say, ¨I
am doing my very best. I have a lot of weaknesses and a lot to learn. But I am
withholding nothing from the Lord. I am serving with all my might, with all my
mind, with all my heart, and with all my strength. I am faithful and giving it
all I have to give!¨
If you know me.. you know that I
always want to be the best in everything that I do!!! If you also know... you
know that I never have been the best but I work with EVERYthing I have to reach
the success that I have envisioned for myself. I am going to be the best
missionary here in Honduras.. shoot in all of Central America.. shoot I’m just
gunna go for it, ya in all the world. haha
My first day in Honduras, I only had
1 question for my mission President. ¨What do I need to do to be the best
missionary that I can possibly be?¨
He very simply said.. Be a true
disciple of Christ. With this advice, I have read in chapter 6 of Preach My Gospel
that explains Christlike attributes. It explains his love, humility, charity,
faith, obedience, diligence, virtue. So every night, without fail I read focus
and study one of thes attributes that I feel like I fell the most short of that
day. I ask forgiveness for my shortcomings and strive to become more Christlike
each and single day!!!
This is my number 1 goal this
year.. Strive relentlessly to become more and more become Christlike in
everything that I do!!!!!!! I invite you to do the same
Lets start off in January.. We have
been working like dawgs (dawgs not dogs) and we are definitely starting to see
success come forth. We have 5 baptisms planned for this month which means we
need to continue to work like dawgs to help these people take their first
official step in returning to Christ by making this covenant with our Heavenly
Father.
Speaking bout the big man, I am so
extremely grateful with my father in Heaven for the opportunity he has given me
to be a small instrument in his hand to help bring his children back to
him!!!
Wowww.. Yo boi has been serving for over 6 months now. It's crazy that I'm already a 1/4 of the way done and I'm not gunna lie.. I'm definitely sad that I only have 3 more times at this:(
We have been working with Kerin Castillo for the last month and a half and she made the decision to be baptized this Saturday and I couldn't be more jacked.
She is so awesome and is seriously planning and hoping to serve a mission!
