Hi friends! Happy christmas season. I absolutely LOVE christmas in italy and i cannot wait for another one here. Its so magical and special. Its beautiful as a missionary to focus on the true message of the christmas season and talk to EVERYONE about Jesus. gosh. I love that guy.
Today, i want to talk about the prayer. Ive been obsessed with studying about prayer recently and how it works and how we can be constantly conversing with the spirit. I think ive talked about this for like the last week with everyone i talk to but i don't care im gonna share it with you guys. I love the stories in the scriptures about prayer. We read that they prayed all the day long. But this doesn't have to mean that we are on our knees in our room begging God. Its that sincere prayer we have in our heart as we driving to work that our day will go well. Its the prayer we have before we take a test at school. Its the prayer when we thank God for the tender mercy of a mothers hug when she knew you needed one... And here we go into missionary mode. As a missionary ive seen how important this constant prayer is. Its not just my prayer to start the day off and im up and at em. Its the prayer i have when im walking alone on the street and i ask the spirit to guide me to these people. And its not just waiting for the spirit to talk to me. Its a conversation with the spirit. And its so beautiful when we just take a second and listen. Just listen to his still, small, subtle promptings. And sometimes we seem CRAZY. But its always good. Its always a good thought even if it's something weeve never done before.
Ill stop there but i love the spirit. And i love prayer. And please just pray guys. Please just create that relationship between you and your heavenly father. No matter your circumstances, no matter your hardships, life becomes full of joy and you just cant stop smiling for some reason. K i really have to stop now or ill talk for days.
GOD IS SO GOOD!! These last couple of weeks have honestly just been a little bit discouraging with the work. We leave the house each day with faith to find and the spirit to guide us to these poeple that the lord has prepared for us. But at the end of the day, after talking to every man, woman, child, dog, cat, and insect. Nothing. No fruits from our labors. But I always alway always thank god for those rough times because He always reminds me in the end that there has to be opposition in all things. So here i am to tell you from this opposition there are the miracles of God!!
I want to tell you about Sabina. I am so grateful for Sabina. There we were in the Hood of the city. A little scary. Just having no success. So my companion turns to me and says "lets flip a coin." There was no coin to be found, BUT there was a book of mormon hand out cart. So after we prayed, we flipped it, and the side that said walk down the street faced up. So, we started to walk. And my good old friend the spirit whispered to me. "TALK TO THIS WOMAN." so, i talked. And the spirit. Told me what to say. And by the end of this conversation, she had tears in her eyes and a book of mormon in her hands. And she left me with a baccio. (Cute little italian cheek kisses)
MY JOY WAS FULL. GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL.
There are miracles out here everyday. The lord is hastening his work. And i LOVE the fact that i get to be apart of it.
Ok well. Im sorry this was long, but i havent written in a transfer soooo i guess this will have to make up for it. I love you and go say a prayer after you've read this for me.
