Ty's Two Years in Ties: Co siervos en la obra!‏ week 18

HOLAS!!!

I need help making my mission goals. I have the rough draft written out and everything, but spiritual goals are a lot different than athletic goals, music goals, school goals, etc. I cant play scales to improve my tone quality of my testimony, neither can I work on my under water off the wall to shave time off of the way I listen to the spirit. Do I make sense? I know there are steps: develop faith in Christ and attributes of him, study the scriptures, etc. But spiritual goals are difficult for me to MEASURE. It would please me so much if I could receive some help with this topic.

We found a family that came to church and are just so excited to learn about the gospel! The mother is in her late 70s, and it put her sick to sit in the church for three hours straight. I feel so bad, because she could not move or eat the rest of the day. But she loved the church so much that she had no desire to leave while she was in the church!

We also found a new investigator named Lorena, and we taught her how to pray after teaching her about the restauration. What a neat experience it was to share that moment with her. After she was done praying, she told us that before she was filled with temor, but she told us that the temor left once she started talking with God, and that after, she was filled with peace. Isnt that so true? God has promised us his peace if we just pray to him and utilize the loving atonement of Jesus Christ.

Also, the A___ family. We thought we were going to have to quit passing by their house. The last two times we passed by they were beyond drunk, and just kept complimenting us on how handsome we are and that they want to keep drinking. It broke my heart. We prayed so hard for them, and decided that we should pass once more time. They are excited to change! J___ is smoking a cigar a day, and they don'thave any more wine in their house! The restored gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of CHANGE.

I love the mission. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be a servant in the work of the Lord!
