TRUSTING IN THE LORD


Hola todos

So we had a pretty weird week, but it is crazy how much the Lord guides us as we trust in Him. 

Last week we put a lot of baptismal dates and worked really hard to see them and keep up with them, but we only were able to bring one person to church yesterday. Elder Pastrana and I felt like we worked hard this week and did our best, but our results just didn´t show it this week at all. 

One of our investigators is the daughter of Alejandra, a recent convert, and her daughter is the only one in her family who hasn´t joined the church. She didn´t wake up yesterday and we just don´t know what to do with her now. We´re praying and studying and I know without a doubt that we will receive the revelation we need for her, but right now it´s just hard. 

That´s something I´ve learned so far, is that the work is just hard sometimes, sometimes you just don´t want to do it or you feel like you aren´t doing all you can or things just aren´t going your way, but then you just get enormously blessed by the Lord.

This letter seems kind of whiny, but I just have been thinking a lot about agency and our role as children here on the earth. It´s amazing how much our Heavenly Father loves us because He is constantly calling to us to be better, to repent and experience the joy that He has prepared for us if we will just go to Him instead of trusting in ourselves. 

We are so lazy and weak as humans, but through Him we can do all. I guess this is just an invitation to be a little better, pray a little harder, and go to the Lord. 

Life is a lot easier when you´ve got a perfect Being guiding you. Don´t know why people don´t get that haha. 

I love you all, keep being amazing. Props to Zac for showing some dogs, sounds crazy to me. I pray for all of you.

Love,
Elder Wardle
