Hello to all!!
So tomorrow morning, all the Russian, Ukranian, and Italian
missionaries are shipping out... As well as all the missionaries serving
in Barcelona and Madrid. The Málaga missionaries will be getting on a
train Wednesday morning around 11 am I think to head down to the mission
home. Entonces, we are given the opportunity today to get on and email
home. I surely hope this email finds everyone well and happy. All is
well here and only getting better! :)
When I get the opportunity to sit down at a
computer and organize my thoughts into an email, I can´t help but be
grateful. All that happens here is so spiritual and beneficial for
everyone involved. Although some missionaries have a hard time staying
focused and really trying to learn from every experience, it is all
given to us so we can use our agency. It is something that we can
compare to life. Often times, we receive all that we ask for and we are
given all that we need in order to succeed. All we need to do is take
action and fulfill our side of commitments. Many people have the
mentality that they "deserve this"or "deserve that" but we must each
realize that we must strive to follow each commandment, whether large or
small, to "deserve" anything. And even then, we will still be indebted
to the Lord. Life can bog us down with things to do and thoughts to
think and people to please. If we have our priorities straight, we will
realize that the things like daily reading in the BOM, weekly church and
temple attendance, and frequent service to others are what should be
put first on our priority list. And as we STRIVE, we will be BLESSED.
Anyways! I love you all! We still don´t know where we will be
serving specifically but the Málaga mission president came to the mtc
for something and we got to talk to him for like 20 mins and he said
that they have already assigned the missionaries that will be serving in
Morocco so I don´t think I´ll be assigned there..... YET...... :) Cross
your fingers for me! Anyways, when I get that info, I´ll let you know.
Adios!
