Nov. 21, 2016 - Week
8 in Lima, Bolognesi area
Well yes..thank you for reminding me
that I have a very sad number 7 now. I love the mission so much everytime I
have one month more it is just sad jaja. But yesss 7 months I have been here in
the mission and it is the best! These have been the best, hardest 7 months of
my life and I wouldnt change anything!! The mission is the best privilege that
I have ever been given. I have the best boss in the world and I strive my best
every day to magnify this calling that I have as well!!
This week has been full of miracles
and blessings! We were blessed to find a new investigator who has been prepared
from the Lord. His name is Jonathan and he is doing very well. He is humble,
and he is ready to enter into a covenant with the Lord. We were blessed to be
able to find him. The Lord has been so good to us here in Bolognesi. Has it
been hard? Yes. But what is life without a challenge? Sometimes I think that
the Lord tries us to see if we will be obedient and then He gives us the gold.
Jonathan is the gold. And I know that it is because we have fought Satan to be
obedient here. I know that the Lord gives us trials that together with Jesus
Christ, we can always overcome. Can we overcome challenges alone? Maybe..but it
is going to take a lot longer than if we would just trust in the Lord.
Something that I really enjoyed from
this week is a quote that my companion Hermana Oñate told me. She said that
"we have walked more than the family of Lehi in the desert" here in Bolognesi. (Story of Lehi is in the Book of Mormon) I was laughing so hard but it is true. It has been a week of walking
but the Lord has blessed us with those who are ready and prepared to hear the
gospel. So for that I will continue walking and giving my 100 percent. I can´t
give any less. 100 is what the Lord requires and I will always try my hardest
to be 100 percent obedient and submissive. And I will keep working on
developing the Christlike attributes of patience and humility and charity. I
think that these 3 are lifetime goals because we will never be as humble, as
obedient, and as loving as Christ. But I will die trying!
The mission is the best time of my
life and I am beyond blessed by the Lord to be here. I am humbled to be called
His servant. I love my Savior and I know that He lives. I will testify of Him
until the day I die. I
love you so much!! I love you to the moon and beyond!! Love, your little girl,
Hermana Lawrence
