The week went by fast and there was a lot to do! We had a meeting with all the zone lideres, then two capcitations for diferent parts of the zone. Not only that but my comp Elder Agee had to get ready to go back to the states because his two years are up. There has been a lot to do but it has been great. We have a lot of changes in the mision and Im so excited.
Something we have been talking is becoming consecrated missionaries. A consecrated missionary leaves it all on the altar and works until the last second. It is a missionary who is always looking for thehelp of the Lord and trying live according to what He wants. It is a missionary who is not obedient because he has to be but because he wants to be. He understands the blessings that cn be recieved and has a desire to do more. There are many good missionaries in the world but less consecrated missionaries. As we consecrate ourselves in the mision we are promised the companionship of the Holy Spirit at all times and in all places. We are able to truely find a greater joy in life and in our work. We will be able to testify with power. We will be protected from harm. We will be able to be intruments in the hands of the Lord. I have been given 2 years to consecrate myself unto the Lord. This not my time, it is His. He is almighty, all knowing, and has a love so great for each and every one of us. As missionaries we can show our love for our Heavenly Father as we enter this path of personal consecration. The world is getting worse and worse. What the Lord needs is not only good missionaries, but missionaries that are consecrated.
Just like the desire that Heavenly Father has to have more consecrated missionaries, he has a great desire to have consecrated children, consecrated members of the church. There is no better time than to start the process of personal purification and santification so that we can become consecrated children of our Father. So that we may be examples of the believers in these last days. May we all strenthen our own lights so that we guide others in the darkness.
I love you all so much. Have a great week.
