This week was incredible. It started out with me getting really sick and put on bed rest for a day. That is when you know something good is coming. The adversity always becomes before something good. That seems to always happen in an amplified form here in the mission field.
I have come to see that the second half of the mission is when you really get the full experience. I am absolutely loving it. It is nice once you have worked through all of the adjusting and trying to get use to having a companion. You start to realize that the little things don't matter, you have to pick your battles, and that everything works out when you talk.
Yesterday we were out teaching, when we went to an old reference that we had received from some other missionaries awhile ago. We had already tried for quite a few times, but we decided to give it another shot. We found them home this time. The wife answered and was very welcoming. She let us in and called her husband. We sat down and began teaching a lesson. They were listening and loving the message. As we were teaching, I noticed that there two kids were sitting at the table behind me and listening with full attention. We invited them to come in and they joined eagerly. We continued the lesson and the spirit was so incredible. It is so rare that you find a husband and a wife with children, a complete family, in the mission field. I have been praying constantly that we could begin to work with families that are prepared to make covenents. There is just something special about teaching a family.
I have seen the Lord's hand constantly in my life as I have been here in the field. How blessed I am to be here in the mission field again. Some much to learn still, I hope that I can take full advantage of this time! Know that you prayers are felt. I love you all and enjoy your letters each week. They are truly inspiring!!
