Week 25
“Heavenly Father was really proud of His Son, wasn’t He?
Last Monday Pday was pretty crazy because we were preparing one of my companions to go to her original assignment in Peru. We went to the other mission here in Costa Rica so that she could get her covid test. We also were escorted home by the assistants that night because we were out kind of late.
Tuesday was the first of many days to come of just my comp Hna. Pope, and me. After each lesson this week, I gained another witness of the reality of the gift of tongues. In lessons, I teach the whole lesson, answer questions, and things like that. Then when she can, my companion will add her testimony. We are so excited because we have two people this week praying about the Restoration. Pray for them to pray!
Sunday we had miracles in a big way with 60 people attending church! We had one person we are teaching attend in person. After only one lesson about prayer he said he wanted to come to church, and he left the church building with a Book of Mormon in hand. A member of our ward brought her neighbor who is 12 to church. She’s not a member and this is her second week at church. This youth actually asked the member if she could come to church this week. The member came up to us after the meeting and told us that this girl was interested in baptism but she told the girl, we have to do this right, we have to get the missionaries involved!
Then we had a small family of 3 people visit our ward. They are being taught by other sisters in a different area far away from ours, but they were visiting this area this weekend and decided to come to church. The other fun thing that happened at church was that we had a member talk for 40 minutes in our ward about the family proclamation, which only left the next speaker with 7 minutes. That next speaker was me haha. Luckily I didn’t spend time writing out a talk and had time to share a couple scriptures and a story I had been thinking about.
“I would want Heavenly Father to be proud of me too. I guess if I want Him to be proud of me then I better do what He wants me to do.”
God shows his love for us daily. Are we remembering and recognizing the depth of that love? I loved these thoughts about the love of God from Preach My Gospel. I know that as I am serving each day I want to make sure I am not just serving my mission, but that I am helping Him in His work and glory.
Sending my love this Valentine's Day from Costa Rica,
Hermana Warburton
