This week I have realized how much change has been in our area in the past 10 weeks. When we got into the area it was completely different than what it is today. Which is pretty crazy how the area can change that quickly. This last Sunday was a blessing from the Lord and there is no other explanation to it. We set a goal to have 30 people in church this past week and we were doing everything to reach that goal. When we got to church we were not well, at least I was not feeling that confident that we would hit this goal. Then when church was about 15 minutes to starting we had out investigators come who just came back from a village and a super less active who was visiting her mom. If these people did not come we would not have hit our goal of having 30 people in sacrament meeting. It really is crazy how the hand of the Lord is working in our lives everyday. It was not that we did anything special either, I think sometimes it is overlooked that you do not have to do anything overly special to receive the Lord's blessings. I think just doing the basic things being obedient and asking for him to bless you will help you much more than people think. Missionary work, when you break down really is not that hard. Just make sure that you are trying your best and at that time the Lord will bless you. So this week I did learn the importance of goals. I still need to improve looking at my goals a little more, but goals are super important and they show the Lord how you are going to take care of His children this week.
So usually I would not see the Lord's hand in my life like this, but these past couple weeks I have been keeping a miracle journal and writing in my normal journal of course. So it has been easier to see the Lord's hand in my life. I have been thinking about the future generations to come. The only way that they are going to remember who I was is through these journals. On your grave you will have two dates and a dash in between those two dates and it is about that dash. The only way that people are going to remember me or you is through journal keeping. It has been really nice keeping a journal and it definitely helps me to see the Lord. So if you are not keeping a journal try and keep one. It will help you a ton! I love you so much and have a good week and always remember that it is about that dash and what do you want people to remember you by!
