This week we've had some great member support that is absolutely for sure! One of the coolest things to see is the members share their testimony with their friends during the lessons! We have a couple family home evenings (Noche de Hogar) in Azuqueca this week where the members have taken charge of the lesson and taught the principles to their friends! I truly feel so lucky to be around members who have gone through so much adversity to get to where they are right now and to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
One of the family home evening lessons we had this week was huge for me! It was all about the scripture Joshua 1:9 which says the following:
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
We then watched a video about a football player who carries his team mate on his back across the whole field from end zone to end zone. The video is awesome because the coach cheers the player on and the player has no idea how far he has gone because he is blind folded! He thinks he's only gone like 50 yards when he collapses at the end only to realize he's made it across the whole field!
I love this message and the investigators at the family home evening loved it as well! We can do more than we think with the Lord at our side! We tend to see ourselves as less than we are, or not worthy to reach what we want to, or too insignificant to be something great. I testify that we are each and every one sons and daughters of God, with the potencial to reach way beyond our own reach! So Keep trying my friends.
Other than that, this week was really good! We ate some Chinese Wok with all the youth in the ward, we had the family home evenings, a really sweet soccer activity which I played goalie at because the doctor told me this week I was cleared for sports!
That's it folks, stay sweet!
