Week #65 - Milagro en Cypress

Hello!!! Boy oh boy am I happy and so blessed. I love being a missionary so so much. I can say there is no other joy out there that is like the one that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Miracles are happening all because of the Savior of us all. My cup runneth over. 

On Tuesday, Elder Lindsay and I had like 15 minutes to go finding before we had to travel to our next appointment. We didn't know what would be best to do so we said and prayer and then decided to go knocking. We were four doors in when we met a young couple and after talking for a little bit they invited us in! They were full of questions and it was such a good conversation. They invited us back the next day and then came to church Sunday!! We are so excited and happy for the guidance we've been giving. Heavenly Father really does magnify us as we do his work. I feel so blessed. Heavenly Father will sustain us as we "go and do." 

I read a poem this week that really stood out to me. It's about the Savior and what He really does for us each day. 

"One night I had a dream…

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest

and saddest times in my life

This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

You would walk with me all the way;

But I have noticed that during the

most troublesome times in my life,

There is only one set of footprints.

I don’t understand why in times when I

needed you the most, you should leave me.

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious

child. I love you, and I would never,

never leave you during your times of

trial and suffering.

When you saw only one set of footprints,

It was then that I carried you."

We have really been focusing on trying to always be about the Father's work. I'm so grateful for the spirit and its guidance that comes along. I love being a missionary and serving my Savior. The Lord is there and He really loves each one of us. I'm thankful for all that I have. Love yall and God bless!!!
