My dear loved ones,
Hello! I hope everyone is well. This week I have been working on studying
the scriptures for the second lesson in Preach My Gospel. As I have studied the
Lord's Great Plan of Happiness I have learned even more about the love of our
Savior for us all. I have found two new favorite chapters of the scriptures. I
am pretty sure that as I continue to study they will all be my favorite. Anyway,
I would like to share with you 2 Nephi 9 and Doctrine and Convenants 138. I just
love the knowledge that we have. It is most definately the fulness of
times.
So this week has been a week of growing. After Dia de Diamante my courage
to contact leveled and then dropped. I'm still not quite sure what happened. But
contacting has again become a struggle. As I have prayed and thought of how to
change once to be a better servant of my Savior I have found some interesting
things happening. We have been listening to the testimonies of the Apostles and
as I have listened to their witnesses I have been amazed at their love for
others. Then it dawned on me. Contacting those in the streets is an act of love.
As my love for the people here grows my willingness to share what I know also
grows. After I realized this great attribute I walked into the streets and they
all seem new and different. I am so excited to be a servant of the Lord and
continually look for a friend to stop on the street to share the gospel with. I
am so grateful to the Lord for this new light and vision. I understand even more
the term "a change of heart" mine has seemed to swell with the knowledge of the
love of our Savior for ALL His children. I am grateful for His Atonement and the
power it gives me to change and become better. I know that everyone has this
opportunity and I get to share this great news with everyone. What a great
CALLING!
I have been seeing small miracles all week. The Lord never ceases to bless.
I have met some great people with great spirits and great desires to follow the
Lord. It is amazing to see their determination and love for the Savior. Its
these small points of light that light up the whole room. Also this was the week
that I was able to go up to Madrid and collect my residency card. I am now an
offical resident of SPAIN. Cool huh. Well I had the opportunity to travel from
Málaga to Madrid all by myself. I rode the train into Madrid then figured out
how to get from the train to the metro. Then I was able to find the right metro
line and get off at the right stop. I found the Office where to collect my card
(which took all of 20 minutes after 6 hours of travel). I met some of my friends
and fellow missionaries that I know from the MTC. It was so much fun to see all
of them again. After lunch I then had to do the reverse all the way back home to
Nerja. I made it. All by myself. For me that was a miracle. After such a day it
was great to give Hermana Gibson a big hug and go home. Hermana Gibson spent the
day in Málaga with the sisters there. All in all it was a good day but we were
excited to get back to our area and continue the work.
I love you all. I hope all is well.
Hermana Petru
