Anotha one, just like
that!
It was an up and down
week but Jesus carried me, that's all that I know. I got really homesick but
prayer works. He has given me so much comfort during this time and will
continue to. I'm so grateful that I get to be a missionary for His church. I am
a representative of Jesus Christ and I have to do my best to act as He did. He
loved everyone perfectly and was never prejudice towards others. He was
perfect. It's really hard to be perfect, actually, it's impossible. I'm
grateful that He has humbled me so much so that I can actually listen to Him.
There wasn't a whole lot that went on this week besides the continuous grind of
learning Spanish and planning lessons. I get a little discouraged sometimes,
but I do my best to "suck it up" and get on my knees. This is my life
for the next 2 years and I'm choosing to make the best of it.
During my studies, I
found this video...
This gives me the
chills every time I watch it. PLEASE watch it, I know that it will invite the
spirit into your life. Joy comes from God, not from all the things that we
have. God gave us families and friends. We can only experience true joy and
happiness if we spend our time with the ones we love. I really took that for
granted before my mission, and I can't go back, but only move forward.
Valentine's day was
weird at the MTC hahahaha, but it was all made up for when M Russell Ballard of
the Quorum of the 12 Apostles came and spoke to us. He talked to us about
eternal marriage. He and his wife are so cute oh my gosh! I know that marriage
in the temple is one of the most important things we can do in this life that
allows us to be married and sealed for time and ALL ETERNITY. I love this
gospel with all my heart and I know it's true with no doubt in my mind.
I read this in the
temple today (John 16:33)...
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
There is absolutely
nothing we can't overcome with the Savior's help. He died for us so we could
have this beautiful gospel. He overcame the sins OF THE WORLD. He knows exactly
how we feel and He wants to help us. Pray and I promise you, He will help you!
Stay safe and lots of
love!
Love,
Elder Pomar :)
