A Missionary's Work: Hope

4/27/2017

So it's still freakin' awesome here, learning everyday and growing too. We've been working harder, walking faster, and meeting more people. I am sort of in a hurry today so it'll be short and sweet. Here's my spiritual thought.

So we met this nanay ("Mom") about in her 60ies, just limping along one day. We soon found out she is a stroke survivor, and she started to tell us about her life and just broke down in tears. We talked with her and the next day visited her at her house. She told us how lonely she is, and all these trials in her life, and even said that she thinks God closed his eyes towards her. As I looked and listened, I could tell she was low on hope. That's one of the things that this gospel provides, so I talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm not afraid to testify of that. I know it to be true and it has made a huge difference in my life and in every trial, I can have hope for the better sunrise at the end of that trial. I am only using the simple words, but it's truth. God hears us and is always with us and always will be with us. He answers prayers and loved and loves us so much that he let his only son suffer and die for us. I know God sees the people we can become and gives us challenges to stretch us and help us grow to be those people. That means every trial he gives us will not necessarily be easy, but possible to get through, through Christ... After all, all things can be done through Christ. Love you all! Have some more hope this week and help those that are low on it.
