This
week has been pretty good. We are preparing a little girl for baptism
this week. Her name is Mary Jane A. and she is an 8 year little girl
and she lives with her grandma and grandpa and they are less
active. This Saturday we will be having a baptism, so I am excited
for that to happen. She is super cute and friendly. So that's what
we have been focusing on this last week - trying to build up
her testimony and having her read the Book of Mormon.
This week not much
really happened, but today we played basketball with the members here
in Magapit and while we were playing I got elbowed in the face and I have a hurt jaw and . I think I cracked a tooth or two So today we are
going to go to the hospital to see what's wrong with it and I might have
to get x-rays. So what another great day, have to go to the
hospital again, but don't worry about me I am okay and I will carry on
with the Lord's work and you know what I really enjoy the mission life
and all the trials and challenges that happen every day.
It really
tests how strong my faith is. I also read a talk this week that
really caught my attention, "The joy of living a Christ- centered
life."- It's by Elder Richard J. Maynes and he said to us that "our
core, the center of our lives, must be Jesus Christ and his gospel.
Living a Christ-centered life means we learn about Jesus Christ and his
gospel then we follow his example and keep his commandments with
exactness." So I really took that into my work this week and how I can
help others center their lives on Jesus Christ and his gospel, and
especially for me too. When I bear my testimony I should focus it on
Jesus Christ and his gospel. This is also something he said: "If
our lives are centered in Jesus Christ, he can successfully mold us into
who we need to be in order to return to his and Heavenly Father's
presence in the Celestial Kingdom." So that's something I really
want to focus on this week for my missionary work is really centering
Christ and his gospel and Atonement in my life and live by his
teachings and "remember who I am and what I stand for."
As a missionary
there are a lot of temptations out there in the world but when we take
this quote I shared with you, when we remember who we are and what we
stand for. We just need to center our lives on Jesus Christ's gospel and
live by his teachings and we will live a happy life and we will be
closer to him. So that's what I i read this week and that's really what my
week was about. Just excited for the baptism on Saturday and going to
the hospital again. I miss you all so much and love you all so much too.
