Yamila has been on a very spiritual journey, God has been guiding her and preparing her for a long time for us to finally meet them and share the restored Gospel with them. It’s amazing! Now that the family has come to a knowledge of more truth, more gospel, the fulness of the Gospel, they can’t deny it. We continue praying and working for and with her family. She’s reading a lot of the Book of Mormon and attended church again yesterday with her two little ones. She’s tied between her old church that she feels the need to continue attending and our church where she feels like everything is true. Yamila, the mom and the gospel leader of the family, is still praying for answers. The joy of the Gospel! Becoming more and more like the Savior until that perfect day! When His merciful Atonement covers us after all that we could have done. And the Spirit spoke to me and told me what I must do. Then I asked myself, what more can I sacrifice for this last week and here on out in order to complete more fully my covenants. I have strived to make all the progress I could and that has made me a consecrated missionary. “I do not think the Lord expects immediate perfection of us, but I do believe he expects immediate progress, and with that progress comes consecration.” With these words came peace to my soul. Towards the end of the talk, Callister says, I felt peace and guidance as I read it, knowing that I have strived to do all I can in my mission, to do what is right and to fulfill my duty. A talk that talks much about sacrifices to make in order to become a Consecrated Missionary. Then I felt prompted to re-study the talk, “Becoming a Consecrated Missionary”, by Tad R. Then I asked myself, “what sacrifices have I made to keep my covenants?” Multiple sacrifices that I have made came to my remembrance. I wrote down in my study journal and asked myself, “Is my heart honest and broken? Is my spirit contrite? Am I willing to observe the covenants I’ve made with God by sacrifice? Yes, every sacrifice needful to keep my covenants completely?” “Verily I say unto you, all among them who know their hearts are honest, and are broken, and their spirits contrite, and are willing to observe their covenants by sacrifice-yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command-they are accepted of me.” I was studying Doctrine and Covenants, Section 97, Verse 8, which reads… When you make the right choice, you will be personally blessed physically and spiritually and others will see your good example and they will want to join you in your good behaviors.Yesterday I was reflecting in my personal study and had a spiritual experience. It’s hard to make the right choice and to stand alone because sometimes, you will be the only person doing sport in the morning. You will be blessed beyond what you can imagine. Choose today that you will do sport every morning. It’s better to make the choice now that you will be obedient rather than when you are confronted with the choice. So doing sport equals being more happy.ĭoing sport is a very hard thing to do. When you wake up on time and do everything on time, you are able to get out on time and be a more effective missionary and then that makes you more happy. You will be happier, you will get out of your apartment earlier. You are happier in sector and you teach better.ģ. You are more energetic and you get to places faster. When you exercise in the morning, you are more jumpy and more ready to take on the day. More energetic in sector/able to have the spirit better in sector. And if you have a bad study, you are going to have a less spiritual day in sector, this is speaking by experience.Ģ. It’s hard to have a meaningful study when you just woke up and your blood is not moving. Ready to have a more involved spiritual personal study. The hardest rule for many missionaries to keep is exercise in the morning (sport, pronounced spor).ġ.
