As for Elder Smith and I, we are quite enthusiastic about this upcoming week, it should be a good time. We will see if I, at the end of the week, am changed out in transfers. Or if I am here to stay in Matagalpa. In total I have a long time here, and it has been wonderful.
We were guided a couple of weeks ago to a really awesome family, they are so kind and sincere with us. The other day the mother of the family stopped us on the street and introduced us to her friend and told her friend to go to church, adding onto her invitation she said ¨We went last Sunday and that is where we are going to stay.¨ Those moments and comments just make the work so worth it.
Truthfully it has been a bit of a trial lately, frustrating to give everything you got and feel you have come up short. But when you truly consider it all in the grand scheme of things, those moments of success lacking are big fat blessings that the Lord has given you. They are times where you truly learn who you are. The Lord truly does bless us and watch over us.
Elder D Todd Christofferson said once, "In times of distress, let your covenants be paramount and let your obedience be exact. Then you can ask in faith, nothing wavering, according to your need, and God will answer. He will sustain you as you work and watch. In His own time and way He will stretch forth his hand to you, saying, “Here am I.”"
He is there, He does listen and He is in charge. We are blessed to be able to know Him. The power of the covenants we make within the church is truly the power of godliness, they allow us to have heaven´s aid whenever we need it. They provide us the perspective necessary to endure and the power sufficient to save us.
Personally I am excited to enter into the gauntlet of my last 12 weeks in the mission. I am really excited for what is to come following the mission as well. ¨Have your head in the stars but keep your feet firmly planted on the ground¨
Love you all
Love Elder Morrison
