Quick rundown of the week: Tuesday we taught the Relief Society
how to make chocolate chip cookies (and now I have members asking me to come to
their houses to make them;D hehe) as well as we made a cake for one of our
investigators (Yoel) for his birthday since both of his parents weren’t there
to do anything for him.
Miracle of the week!... after thinking that Hermana Yuli
(the mom of Yoel) wouldn’t get home for another 2 months- she got back 2 days after
Yoel´s birthday! Wow! This is a miracle for us because now they will be
progressing so much more with her help! This family is so amazing!
Hermana Monteza and I can see that they have so much potential and we actually
feel like we have more siblings now with all of them!
This week, I wanted to talk about being focused
on the things that are truly important in our lives. There are SOOOO many things that are distracting for us in this life and many of the things
are good things, but the question is: Are we truly focused on the things that
are most important? Are we choosing to fill our time or make the most of it? (Matthew6:21) Where we put our time is where our hearts are. And where our heart is, that's where our treasures are. There are parts of my life where I can look back at
my life and honestly say that my heart was not where it should have been or
where I wanted to be. BUT there is no time like the present to refine our lives
and focus in on what is truly important to us. In the mission, we have to look
at ourselves a lot and see if things are working or things aren’t working and
why and fix them. There have been times where we have had to refocus on what is
truly important to us and I know that it works. When we are focused on the
things that are most important in this life and this work, we are truly happy
and we have success! We have true treasures instead of replacements of
treasures.
Keep up the Smiles,
Hermana Mather
My treasures in this life:; my family, my faith, my
testimony, my progress as a person, time with those i love, the opportunity to
pray, the friendships and connections that we can make with other people, the
church.. and much more, but those are just a few :)
