This week has been a little stressful, but also very spiritual. We had a multizona reunion on Tuesday, and I learned so much. I had even more desires to work harder, be more obedient, and make the changes in the way we do the work so that we can bring even more souls to Christ!
This week Fernando was going to get baptized, but he was having a lot of personal doubts that took his desire to get baptized. But we went ahead with his interview, and our District Leader really helped him to understand that he didn`t have to be perfect before he got baptized. All the changes come later, poco a poco, if we`re ready to make the sacrifices. So he didn`t get baptized this past Saturday, but we`ve set a new goal for him on the 4th of June and he`s so excited now to get baptized and be a member :)
This week in the Book of Mormon I`ve been reading about the missions of the sons of Mosiah in Alma 18-20, and they`ve been really inspiring to me. How they were able to keep the faith they`d gained through they`re own experiences, and how much they trusted in the Lord and strived to do his will even when things got hard. That`s something we can all apply to our lives, whether we`re missionaries or member missionaries, we can always strive to do the will of the Lord, and to firm in our faith when struggles abound.
I love you all so much, and I hope you have a great week!
Love, Hermana Oliphant
