This week we had a little miracle! Sofia got baptized! She is the daughter of active members of the church and she turned 9 last week. She was never baptized when she was 8 because she never felt like she had a testimony, but we were visiting her family this week and they asked us for help. It was pretty fast and crazy, but we taught her everything and Sofia decided that now was the time to get baptized!
This week I had the chance to work on some Christlike attributes. I started the week off asking the Lord to help me be a little more patient, humble and charitable. The Lord responded to my prayers haha! There were little things throughout the week that gave me the chance to better develop these qualities. Since this was one of my last weeks I really just wanted to dig down and work, just leave everything I have... But my companion had some tooth pain this week and we spent some time visiting dentists and resting. Sometimes the pain was so bad he didn`t speak and i had to do all the teaching haha! One day the pain was just Too much and Elder Sarango laid down to rest for a little while. I guess I am a little selfish and wanted to wake Elder Sarango up and go out to work. I decided to ask the Lord what He would have us do. As I prayed, I felt that Elder Sarango needed to rest and that this was a chance for me to work on some of the attributes I want to develop. So I started reading a talk about charity and after reading for a few minutes the clear impression came to me to stop reading about charity and start being charitable. I spent the next hour and a half looking for little things to do to help the other guys in the house. I can`t say that I am the most humble, patient or charitable person, but the mission (and the Lord) have made me a lot more than I used to be!
I know that the Lord loves us and is interested in each of our lives! He wants to help us and make us better, we just need to be willing to follow Him. I hope ya`ll had a great week! Love ya!
