I don't know how else to put this other than things are getting
better
We even over shot some of our goals for last week. Not boasting or anything but it just shows when
you have faith and walk with the Lord all things become even more possible.
Still haven't found anyone who seems to be really interested but I'm still
grateful for all the tender mercies my Father in Heaven has blessed me with and
for the opportunity He has given me to serve him.
In Doctrine and Covenants 84:79-80, we are told:
79 Behold, I send you
out to prove the world, and the laborer is worthy of his hire.
80 And any man who shall go and preach this gospel of the kingdom, and fail not to continue
faithful in all things, shall not be weary in mind, neither darkened, neither
in body, limb, nor joint; and a hair of his head shall not fall to the ground
unnoticed. And they shall not go hungry, neither athirst.
I was reading from the book Our
Search For Happiness by Russell M. Ballard and this scripture stuck out to me
and reminded me of my purpose as a missionary and why I am doing this.
Last night, I was talking to my family back home. I was listening
to my uncle telling me I have work to do and to stay focused on the task at
hand or else he
would be waiting at the side of the roadway with a piece of pipe in hand to
remind me of why I was doing this and to stay on the path. Now you are probably
wondering why am I telling you this but it's amazing because he isn't even a member
of the church. To hear him talk about
giving it my all and never giving up made me wonder if this really was my
uncle. My other uncle who is a member started saying, “listen to Brother Lovell,”
but to know my family back home is behind us made me feel even more blessed. To see them (on Skype)
was a blessing but to hear their words made me feel like I was home again.
