Well this past week we where able to hear from an apostle
which was such a neat experience. The apostle Quentin L Cook came and was able
to talk to all the missionaries that are serving in the Honduras Comayaguela
mission. He is the 3rd apostle that i have heard speak out here on the mission
and wow it was a spirit puncher kind of reunion.
As he testified of the Savior we all felt the spirit so
strongly and i know without a doubt that he is a special witness of Jesus
Christ. He talked to us about so many things and i really could just go on and
on but i would like to hit 2 certain points that he talked about.
One of the questions he asked us was ´´ What is your
companion learning from you?'' What a simple question but it helped us all
realize that we need to act in ways that lift up others and inspire them to be
better people. That day and on i have really focused on being the best person i
can be so that others around me get inspired to do things that help them be
better people.
Also he shared a quote from president Hinckley that some
what goes like this '' the more faith you have the more success you'll have. Its
something that made me think and it reminded me of a scripture that i had read
in my personal study just a few day priors to hearing that quote. Its found in
Enos 1 12
And it came to pass that after I had prayed and
labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee
according to thy desires, because of thy faith.
The lord saw the faith that Enos had because he prayed with
all his heart and was giving it all he had. God knew he had faith because he
saw his work ethic and his willingness to turn to the lord in his time of need.
The lord was more than happy to grant him with what he needed because he was
able to see his desire so strongly through His works.
What a great example and right now my companion and i are
trying to follow the example of Enos so that we can find more people that god
has in store and needs us to teach.
So basically what President Hinckley wanted to say is as we work
diligently and pray with all the energy of our hearts to heavenly father we
will have more success because god is so willing to help us as long us we show him
first that we truly have faith.
Love you all! Have a great week!
