Hey everyone, this week was really really good! Thank you for all of the prayers always:)
This week we had some really solid lessons and found new people! We said goodbye to our mission president :') and met our new pres (just over zoom) and wowza in the first 2 seconds meeting them w the whole mission connected, peace washed over me and I got kinda hit with emotion bc I felt like wow they are totally meant for me in this time. It was kinda weird bc it wasnt a personal meeting or anything special but the spirit confirmed to me in that these people are supposed to be my new presidents and I'm sooo excited to get to know them and get to grow with them these next months! I get to meet them in person on Tuesday at the leadership conference in Queretaro so I'm excited!
Highlight of the week was Armando got baptized and wow it was such a cool experience!! First off armando is literally so amazing and it was so special seeing how God perfectly prepared him to meet us! Second it was awesome because juanjo my convert baptized Armando and then a few minutes later my other convert Regina told me shes thinking about serving a mission and wowowowow I just felt so overwhelmed with love and gratitude again!! The bap of Armando was super awesome and he was a good sport when he literally had to be baptized 7 TIMES because it was Juanjos first time baptizing haha and he was struggling, but armando just cracked jokes like "oh I must just have a lot of sins or something" and it all was super good!
Spiritual thought-
This week I was thinking a lot about how God blesses each one of us with unique special qualities that he wants us to use, recognize and grow. Thinking a little bit about that then reading in 1 Corinthians it caught my attention when it talks about the body of christ and how we are ALL part of this body so we need to be the part he wants us to be. We are all NEEDED although we are all soo different and that is one of the most important parts. I love when people say we are the instruments or tools in the Lord's hands for this reason because the lord doesn't need us all to be a hammer or a screw driver, but he needs some of us to be the other random tools that no one even knows what they do lol. He needs his tools in all shapes and sizes with different capabilities. The Master knows his tools perfectly and he needs us to know our purpose too and be willing to grow our strengths (and strengthen our weaknesses) so we can be that specific little tool that none of the other tools can replace. That tool might be forgotten by others. It might be a little dusty in the garage, or feel out of place with its strengths or purpose... but if it knows it's purpose and can perform that purpose when the lord needs, that is what matters. Anyways idk if that makes sense or not to you guys but it does to me so I'm going to try my best to the tool he needs me to be in the "body of christ" and I challenge you all to do the same:)
Love you all and have the best week!
