Help From on High

     What an excellent week we had full of hard work and miracles!
This week i got a new companion. His name is Elder Gomez, from Guatemala. He is a cool guy, and super humble. i think we will have a great transfer here in Diriomo. This week was filled with challenges but also miracles. I know that the Lord knows and loves every single one of us individually and personally. Every week here in the mission, we spend the whole week exciting our investigators to go to church on sunday. but ALWAYS something weird happens and you see one by one your investigators fall in their commitment to the church.
     This week we did just that and when sunday came NOBODY was home. neither was the couple who we were going to baptize this next week. well if they didnt go to church i didnt have my baptisms the next week. so I started to panic and get upset. But i knew in this kind of moment i needed the Lords help. I needed a miracle. So i prayed and i prayed with all my heart that the Lord would have mercy upon me and my companion that our Investigators would somehow showup.
     As i finished my prayer i felt a little bit of peace within my heart, just enough to get my head straight and go see if my other possibility for baptism was ready to go to church. We went to look for her and we found her ready to go. That helped a little bit with the stress. i then had a decision to make, just leave and go to the church (which was far away and we had to catch the bus the church had rented) or, go back to the house of my possibilities and wait for them. i had a strong impression to go back even though we would miss the bus. As we returned, we found that the couple had just arrived and were getting ready to go to the church.
     As i sat down about ready to cry from relief of so much stress, i immediately offered a prayer of thanksgiving to my God. I knew in that moment it was only through his power and mercy that they had returned to their house to go to the church. I know that the Lord watches over us and blesses His children who are obedient to His commandments. Seek His help in all things and NEVER forget to show immediate gratitude for the blessings we receive. I hope and pray everytime i write to you that you learn and apply something from my experiences in your own life. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
