Hello all,
Well OLLLOO. Happy Thanksgiving
to all. I hope that you had a week full of lots of food and fun games and
visiting with the family. I sure did have an interesting week more in the sense
of things that I got done and things I couldn´t get done. So we found out on Wednesday
that the medications that Elder Martinez was taking really weren´t doing
anything for him and he needed to take stronger medications and rest even
longer. When the doctor told me that he would have to rest for even more time,
I was like. O no..........
It’s been a real
struggle for me to really learn how to serve and love a companion. I really
just wanted to get out and work and not have to worry about my companion. I
think that the Lord has really given me a kick in the pants this last week in
realizing that I need to treat all people as I would treat Him.
I was sitting there
reading a book and I started to think about trying to picture as if Christ was lying
on the bed and was suffering, what would I do to help Him? I had to answer
myself that I would do anything that He asked me to do.
Then I started reading
in the Bible about being called of God and I was reading in John 14 or 15 and
it says that we should love each other as He has loved us. Wow. It was
practically like a spear into my heart that I need to change my attitude and
that I need to learn to just serve others out of the joy in knowing it would be
what Christ would do.
I know that now is the
time to learn to be humbled and work in the vineyard of the Lord. I love you
all and I’m grateful for your prayers and for your love.
