1. What is the simplest thing you do each day that increases your faith?
From the begining of my mission, i have been trying to write one thing i am grateful for and a time that I felt the Spirit during the day. (i haven´t done too good of a job writing it in the field,) but there is more power in gratitude than I realized. It is also the first ¨be¨that Gordon B. Hinckley gave....¨Be Grateful¨.I think gratitude increases your faith. it shows that you see God in your life!
I think it is the precursor and finish to Faith-- the knot that ties the blessings in your life. We have a ton of blessings, but when we show we acknowledge those blessings, they become more personalized and more our own. It opens the door to faith because we realize how much the Lord blesses us and he really is always watching and blessing us. When we realize the blessings in our life, God only wants to bless us more. like the story of the Leper who was grateful. And the Spirit....is often more simple than we think. We don´t have to be brilliant to be grateful. We really need the Spirit and i am trying to learn how it speaks to me!
2. What is the best time of day for you?
hmmm...i realy like to write emails to the family! best time of the day....not sure...i love to write the family! whatever time that is! i also like to go to bed...we are usually pretty tired at the end of the day :) it is too hard to pick ony one time of day!
i love when i feel comfortable with the people we are with. haha. we have a new investigador, who will probably get baptized and she is 16. she is just great and loves us to visit! i love those times of day when i am with the investigadors that love to hear what we have to say!!! we told her about the plan and how we have a mission song that talks about how before this life we had friends. one friend was born in the gospel in the earth and the other didn´t have the gospel...but the friend from before they were born found them during their mission. we told her about this song and she loved it and just gave us huge hugs after! i love when the investigadors love to learn about the gospel. :) we have only known her for a week...but it feels like years!!!!
will you be sure to thank bishop chamberlain for helping with the mission. thanks to all those other people too that have contributed to me to have this opportunity to serve a mission (thanks to you and mom too)!
much love daddio
