Oi Familia! I love you :) This week has been a rough week. But it was my fault and I learned a lot grom it. So its all good. It started with sister mann getting her visa. Im so excited for her! But it made me so sad. Ive always had comfort knowing Sister mann was here. She is my best friend, pretty much goes up there with Sydney and Mckenzie and very few individuals have that honor. And then I felt bad because I was jealous, and then I lost a lot of hope that my visa will ever come. So pretty much I had a pitty party. lol Which isnt good. Because this work isnt about me.
So I studied the Christ like Attributes a lot this week and a lot of talks. Ive learned a lot about patience. Something I like is "patience is a process of perfection it is the waiting rather than the recieving that we grow the most." The Lord has a plan for me here in NYC and I will grow and learn from it :) I will become the individual God would have me be. I read another talk about a man who was really sick and Elder Bednar gave him a blessing but first he asked the man "Do you have faith not to be healed/" The man never thought about that. He said that "My faith was dependent upon the outcomes I wanted." So he changed himseld and said, "Strong faith in the savior is submissively accepting of His will and timeing inour lives--- even if the outcome is not what we hoped for or wanted" We must have faith that "He will guide us from where we are and where we need to be." and we need to ask "Please give me the faith to accept whatever outcome thou hast planned for me." He then asked the question "Why should I have faith if His will ultimately is what will precail? After this experience, I knew that having faith-- at least in my circumstance--- was not necessarily knowing that he would heal me, but that He could heal me, I had to believe He could then whether or not it happened was up to Him." I have to believe and have faith my visa will come. God can not perform mirackes if I do not have faith, But also I have to have faith that my faith will not be shaken if it does not come. Satan is in the visa process but so is God :) And that gives me hope.
Well thats what I learned this week. hahaha Tomorrow I get new companions (sis g is going home.) Im going to miss sister gonzalez but Im excited to learn from new companions :) Im staying in jamaica! Which is good :) I love it here. I love the people and the place. This next transfer is going to be awesome! I know it will.
The elders told us that there is a street full of portuguese speaking individauals so we thought we would knock it :) lol BAD CHOICE! hahaha but it made us laugh. I can not speak port. and they were all from portugual and apparently they dont like Brazil... hahahaha It was way funny.
Keep on praying for my visa :) and that I develop patience.
Love you lots!
