Subject: ¿A donde va?
I was on the bus yesterday and to double check we were on the right bus and to break the ice with the lady I was sitting next to to try and share a little bit of the gospel with her I asked her where the bus was going. Her response surprised me because she said "I don't know!" in a way that made it very obvious that she did not want to talk to me and then she pretended to be sleeping. I tried to talk to her in another way but she didn't respond. I thought it was pretty funny how badly she didn't want to talk to me and her first response also made laugh. I resisted the urge to ask her why she was on the bus if she didn't know where it was going. Obviously she probably knew where it was going but just didn't want to talk but I think there is a life lesson there.
How many times do we make a decision, or metaphorically "get on a bus", and we don't know where it's going? Some people don't even know where they want to go! We are children of God and He has a plan for us. If we follow that plan we will be able to live again with Him and become like Him. Or in other words, that end destination that we should all have is Eternal Life - the greatest of all the gifts of God. The plan to help us get there includes keeping His commandments, living the gospel, and serving others. I invite you to personally reflect about where the decisions you are making are taking you and make changes in your life, through prayer and scripture study, to press forward with both feet on the strait and narrow covenant path. I promise that if you do so you will have the Spirit more in your life and feel more peace and happiness. We all make mistakes and need to improve and that is possible because of Jesus Christ. He is more concerned with which direction we are going than where we are on the path.
Also a cool story to share is that on Monday of last week we had contacted a guy in the street and then we went to his house he wasn't there. That's not the cool part because that happens all the time. The cool part was that his dad was there and he really wanted to help his son out because he was in a rebellious phase. The dad, named Barux, said that if his son said we could visit him it means he would be willing to listen to us and we might be able to help him change. So we have another appointment for tomorrow and are hoping it goes well. The Lord prepares people for us to find and He is more anxious that we have success than we do. We just have to qualify for those blessings.
We are also going to have a very important appointment with Sandi and her family tonight, that had to be postponed twice so please pray that it will go well. She hasn't missed a Sunday since the new year and it doing really well, but just needs to make the decision to be baptized and drop coffee completely.
Training is going well and getting better. He has a lot of excitement to talk to everyone and doesn't have fear to open his mouth which is fantastic. That is one of the ways we overcame Satan in the beginning and its how we will do it now. Love you all!
