Well would you look at this?
I am being called by the Lord to move areas. After 5 transfers which equals out to 7 1/2 months, I will be leaving Donna and my little orange apartment. Im sad, but this work is more important to worry about than those little things. But I fear not, for I know that the Lord is on my side and this means new members, new locations, new everything! Im excited, Im told that it is very rare for a missionary to have stayed this long in their first area so this is to be expected. Nevertheless, always something special about first area. I will greatly miss the members here in Donna and Weslaco.
But anyway, I love you all and still hope everyone is doing well in their lives, making those little choices every day to shape their futures and being tested by our Heavenly Father along the way. I love this scripture about why we are tested with many trials in John, 15.
This is the Savior talking:
"2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branchthat beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."
Pretty simple and direct but the emphasis is on verse 2, how we are expected to develop and grow and all these things that we endure will be returned unto us a hundredfold in blessings si perseveraremos hasta el fin gozosamente. But it is 100 percent our choice to choose to be happy. Something our President teaches all the time, "Tome la Decision", "Disfrute Su Mision" It is true, we can choose what to do, but never can we choose the consequences. A wise purpose in the mind of God to give us our agency. Entonces ahora, what will you choose to do?
Love you everyone, miss you, have fun and be happy always!
