Brazilian Angels

...So.  I have decided that I cannot ever again watch "the Errand of Angels".  You know, that sister missionary movie?  Yes...I cried at the end.  It made me miss my mission so much! It just gave me that much more of a memory of what my mission is really worth to me.  I would give anything to just go back out...Being home is so overrated!!  Ahhhh...I mean, now I got this real life business to deal with.  Not cool.  Look at me, I think I only use this blog to complain.  Okay, so on to something else...

Well, I had a great miracle this past week.  One of the many ones was when I was at the MTC and I was coming out after just having volunteered at the TRC (Teaching Resource  Center for those who don't know) and on my way out, a senior couple and their teacher stopped me.  They were from Brazil and practicing their English, for they were preparing to become a mission president in Brazil.  There English was so simple, yet the purity of their testimonies and the simplicity of it all, touched my heart so deep, afterwards, I cried on the drive home.  The power and the truth of it sunk so deep in my heart.  The gospel IS true! Jesus IS the Christ! He DID call Joseph as a prophet for our days!  So simple, yet it was so profound.

Blessings are coming into place, I am starting to see them...and I know that there are a lot more that the Lord is waiting and ready to give to me.  I just have to be patient.  But man! That movie killed me, today! Being home is awful...I miss the mission more than anything.  But life goes on.  As I have been reminded over and over again, this is just the beginning of my mission here on earth.  There are other things that the Lord wants me to do, other things He needs me to perform for the salvation of His children.  I can do it with His help.  With Him, I can do anything!  I just got to keep going! Keep the path and with cheerfulness, bear these burdens and make it towards Him.  Well, that's all for now.  But I can tell you one thing, I know that Jesus is my Savior and will guide me through all these hardships and bring me the blessings that are waiting in store.
