So news first. I got a call last Saturday from President and he asked me if I would train a new missionary. So looks like I will
be finishing my mission training a new missionary. I’m really excited and
that´s exactly what I need. I need the boost that comes from a new missionary
because they are just so full of faith, energy, optimism, and excitement. I´m
nervous but I know that it´s going to be fun.
This week was full of little tender
mercies from the Lord. I was having a Little bit of a tougher week and asked
the lord for a Little push to keep me going so that if could do his
work. I just needed a little reminder that he knows my situation and is
providing a path for me. That answer came very quickly. Today we were at la Fería where there are thousands and thousands of people gathered and someone
grabbed my arm, flipped me around, and just hugged me. I was so confused as to
what was going on and could only hug them back just hoping that I knew them.
haha. As I pulled back I realized who it was. It was one of the members in my
Ward in Elche that had taken care of me in my most difficult moments. Her
family is from here and she just happened to be visiting here this week
and felt like she should go to the fería that day. Out of all of the
Thousands and thousands of people there we just happened to run into each
other. Obviously it wasn´t just coincidence and that there was divine help
there. I was absolutely overcome with joy. I could hardly speak as I just
hugged her again and screamed. That was the second witness for me that the Lord
is so very aware of what I am doing right now. I could not be any more
grateful to the Lord for his mercy and love. I know that he is very aware of me
right this very second. I can´t deny that.
I’ve found again and again that the
Lord will never pass up an opportunity to show his children that he loves them.
If you wonder if the Lord truly loves you and is aware of you please go ahead and
just ask him. He will be more than willing and joyous to show you just how much
he loves and cares for you. He´s done it for me a million times over and I know
that he´ll continue to show me his love for me if I’ll just look for it.
As it says in the scriptures there is
absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love of the Lord. Don´t ever
think that you have lost the Lord´s love and that he has forgotten of you
because that is frankly impossible. ¨the Lord´s love is there for you whether
you deserve it or not.¨ He loves you so dearly and knows who you are. He knows
your situation right now and what you´re praying for. Don´t forget how much you
mean to him and if you don´t believe me why don´t you just ask him
yourself.
Also, don´t forget
Come what may and love it
