After
our Conference in Peñasco, we had planned on doing exchanges with all
the Elders on Friday and Saturday...After the Conference however we had a
different feeling...we felt that we needed to leave right then and
there to go back to Hermosillo...kind of weird we told President, and
Sister Robinson took us to the bus stop with our clothes...we left
immediately and we got to Hermosillo at about 1 a.m. When I went to bed I
really didn't know exactly what to expect something the next day but I
felt very strongly we were in Hermosillo for a grand purpose... Friday
we got up, like normal, and got ready and started studying And while I
was studying I remembered a few Elders that are here in
Hermosillo...that I thought in my own mind were doing just fine and that
they were happy...but I felt like we were to have companion exchanges
with these Elders...I called them up and they were ecstatic to do
them...I told my companions and they were in agreeance...Later in the
day as we were on exchanges we found out that one of these missionaries
was just fine...He is always happy..A pretty happy go lucky type of
guy...An amazing missionary....the other missionary however (who is an
amazing District Leader) had gotten a little discouraged with his area
and with the mission in general...We might not know what would have
happened if we wouldn't have done those exchanges...After finding this
out I was filled with a wonderful spirit of gratitude...i am so grateful
for listening and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost...We were
able to help that missionary a ton, we took him to our area and he was
very grateful for the chance to do Exchanges...
So we finally found out why we had to be in Hermosillo on Friday...
As
I keep growing as a missionary I find that now my only purpose is to do
the Will of God...As we see the new missionaries getting to the mission
we usually ask them What they want to accomplish on their mission...the
majority say BAPTIZE! I have found that yes it is nice to baptize and
it is God's will that we baptize but I have found that that isn't my
full purpose...In these 22 months I have learned that while doing God's
will at all times I find peace and joy...I receive tons of blessings
everyday from this wonderful service, also as I do God's Will I receive
his confidence in every aspect of this wonderful Work of Salvation.
Sure Love you guys
