I'm not exactly sure how to describe this last week. It could be in
part because my abilities to speak English are quickly dwindling. Sometimes I
look over entries in my journal and just wonder how things ever made sense
really. Last week I got the call from president that no one wants to hear, that
a friend of mine has passed away. In that moment I was devastated, I didn't know
what to do. But thank goodness I had the ringing words of my mom's advice to
ponder over. A while ago she wrote me (about something different) and said,
You can’t fix anything and neither can I. It is in God’s hands now. Hard to
read at first but it's true.
I decided to just work harder than I ever have been before and be as
obedient as possible. This week we have found more people to teach than ever
before. It has been wonderful! I know that know matter how hard the next step
may be when you are pushing through trials you see the blessings even more. One
of my favorite scriptures from my mission has always been Alma 7:11-13. I know
that the Savior understands how I feel and is there pushing me forward every
step of the way. I am so grateful that I have this amazing chance to completely
dedicate me life to His service.
We were able to see Sorella Hallum's family again. It was a truly wonderful missionary experience. We had a lesson and then we had pizza with them and the whole time they just asked us question after question for hours on end. It was so wonderful. I don't believe in coincidences any more and it's a beautiful thing :)
I hope you all have an amazing week. Never forget that the Lord is always
with you and we are all brothers and sisters!
Con affetto,
Sorella Jarvis
