Buenos!
This week was a bear not gonna lie, it was a rough one, the adversary is going to great and subtle lengths to stop us in the work, but daggumit I wont let that stop me from overcoming!! We worked our tails off and a lot of things were tossed at us, and the investigators and members.
For example, we are teaching a family and they are soooo awesome. Like super awesome, but they have a weird situation that is going to take a while for us to fix in order for them to marry. Like this Sunday as they were getting ready for church their neighbor got mad and punched him in the face so they couldn't come to church because he got licked pretty good, it was sad to see, but so amazing to listen to him say that this is not going to keep him down!! I love him and his family so much they are all just super amazing humble wonderful people.
Like I said many situations and obstacles put in our path this week, some we hurdled and overcame, others there was nothing we could do but watch and pray. I personally am trying to focus on 5 things especially when stuff hits the fan and everything was sucking.
1. Obedience, our motto as a mission is Obedience Brings Blessings, but Exact Obedience brings miracles, to this I testify to be true
2. Diligence, or Work Ethic or Effort. It applies in school, sports and missionary work and all other aspects of life. Nothing worth doing is easy, but soooo worth it, to see someone change by the Atonement makes all the sweat and bug bites and blisters worth it, and then some!
3. Attitude, we can choose to be happy and positive or not, it is up to us
4. Love, service service service, love is an amazing thing that can touch hearts faster than any other thing
5. Testimony and Knowledge, learn by the spirit and by the scriptures and always have your lamps filled with oil (see Matthew 25). One of my favorite times of the day is personal scripture study. There is a power in the words of God, the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
Love you all hope you are all doing well.
Love,
Elder Logan Morrison
Here is some of the advice Logan gave his sisters this week:
Apply the Atonement and there is nothing you cant do in this world.
Remember the prettiest smiles are the pure and genuine ones. I have never seen prettier smiles than the ones here in Nicaragua, even from people that are missing more teeth than they have. You smile with the light in your eyes.
Read the Book of Mormon and pray daily, and learn to love people and work hard. Learn to repent and change, repentance is a gift and we must use it everyday!!
