So we had some huge changes on the mission this
week... We have something called a
standard of excellence on the mission. Our old goals were 12 Lessons with
Member. 15 Others, 20 new investigators, ¨and 6 people in church with baptismal
dates. It has been changed that president made new goals. 20 lessons with
members, 20 people in church with a baptismal date, 15 others and 60 new
investigators ever single week.. Hearing our President and his vision for the
misison is really awesome. He is really going to help everybody start to
baptize every single week. Or atleast that his goals. Those who will follow the
instructions that he gives will have a lot of success on the misison.
I couldn't help but compare our President to Lei in the
Book of Mormon this week. Everyone the mission either has a "Nephi or
Lemen"
Attitude. I am just blow away with how many missionaries
do not have a Nephi like attitude. I pray everyday that the members of the
church can show and have more respect for the chosen leaders of the church.
They are called to serve and receive Revelation to help
us. Sometimes the things that God wants us todo and what we want to do isnt
alway the same thing. Like traveling in the desert to a new land...
As i was reading the book of mormon this week i had a few
versus that really called my attention.
" And I will
also be your light in the wilderness; and I willprepare the way before you, if
it so be that ye shall keep mycommandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall
keep mycommandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and yeshall know
that it is by me that ye are led.
14 Yea, and the
Lord said also that: After ye have arrived in thepromised land, ye shall know
that I, the Lord, am God; and that I,the Lord, did deliver you from
destruction; yea, that I did bringyou out of the land of Jerusalem."
I thought a lot about how this can applied into my life.
How many promised blessing i have received in my life. Particularly in the
Patrical blessing. I have no idea how i am ever going to arrive where the lord
wants me to. Seems so far away and it looks like a journy sooooo impossible.
But I know that the lord will act as a light in my life and day by day, moment
by moment he will be guiding me to my "promised land." Ye and in the
day that i arrive in the "promised land." I will know without doubt!!
Baptism^:)
