Oh boy I sure am growing a ton. Ya know I see
that God has blessed us with some challenges .. but also so many
miracles. ERICA WENT TO THE TEMPLE this Saturday!! Im so proud of her.
Antonio was gonna go.. but had to work! How
cool he sent a message to you guys! He cracks me up.
I feel like I need to share my testimony for you guys. SORRY Ill try to keep it short and simple. But today my heart is full.
I´m
grateful to know that we are all sons and daughters of God. That Gods
love for us never changes. I´m grateful for my best friend, Jesus
Christ. He´s been there every step of my mission. Sometimes when I feel
like I cant do it anymore.. I close my eyes and I can see him with his
hands on my face whispering words of love. I dont know what hes saying..
but I know hes proud of me. I know he LIVES. I know he is closer to us
than we think he is. And we have a father who is amazed by us. :) He
watches us as we serve his children and I just know hes smiling down on
us. I know he gives us hard things so we can become stronger. I was
telling my comp the other day, every time I cry I feel like I receive
more light. Its so true. I KNOW that when we break our spirits and give our hearts
to God, we receive more power, more light. There is power in my calling.
I feel it. Sometimes when I talk about Christs sacrifice I feel light growing inside of my eyes.
When I testify of Jesus.. Nothing fills my heart with so much love. When
I find people who are sad or mad with God I just wanna hug them and
tell them HE WILL NOT LEAVE US COMFORTLESS. He always comes to us in the
end. I know that I am no different than they are, we are all one. But everyone is different. His time is different for all. Thats
something I´ve learned. is to not judge. We met a family who are less
actives. We´ve been visting them for a while and the more I get to know
them, the more I understand their story. How sad it is for friends or members to
judge them. They dont know them, they dont know what theyve been
through. Only God does. And we really had no idea how much this family
loves us. Theyre moving this week and we visited them for the last time
yesterday. The dad had tears in his eyes and thanked us for changing his
family. The mission is strange sometimes. Sometimes you feel like youre not helping
anyone, not having any success. But in reality we are doing a lot! God
wants it like that. It helps us to be humble. :) He moves in a mysterious way.
Singing about
the Savior is one of the greatest blessings I have on this mission. I
feel pure power come out when I sing about the one person who sacrified
for us. I also feel power when we promise blessings to people who are in
deep need of them. Its a feeling indescribable when one can feel the
pure love of Christ for the other person. God really is watching out for
his children. Sometimes I think I learn more from the people than they
learn from me. Their stories of how they found God just blow my mind.
Whether they are from a different religion.. it doesnt matter! We can
all learn from each other. Whats most important is how we are going
to get back to Heavenly Father. God is soo powerful. He can do the
impossible. He makes a way where there is absolutely no way! I will never doubt it. I´´m grateful for the mercy and the
grace Christ has for ALL of us. Never ever ever forget that we have so
much worth. This spirit we have here on this earth is the same spirit
that lived with God and will live with God again. There is power within
us. Dig deep, because you always know what you should be doing. It lies within you. More than we realize. Use it. Use it to help others. I´m grateful
for this mission. I dont wanna leave. I want to serve my whole life.
Nothing brings me greater joy. I testify with all of my heart that God
is our father, Jesus Christ is our brother and that they loves us
sooooos oooos sosososoooooo much. En el nombre de Jesucristo, amen. :)
happy birthday mommy. :)
LOVE,
HERMANA TERRY!!
