Mysterious Ways

🎶 It's alright it's alright 🎶 Thank you for the intro Bono...

Welcome back to the marvelous work and a wonder happening live in Argentina. This week we worked our tails off and had a baptism!

Also, we jumped out of a bus, I learned (am learning) to juggle a soccer ball, and we repaired a trampoline.

I learned this week that even if we are all-in on living the gospel, we can sometimes be very out of tune with the will of the lord. That does not mean we are living sinfully or poorly, it just means that we are very weak and at times not aware of all that is going on.

I had a list of things I wanted to improve about myself and our area this week that I thought were God's priorities as well. It turns out I was wrong. I was blindsided by things to deal with I did not see coming, but those were the things I really needed to work on this week. I am so grateful for a God in heaven who is all knowing and has this all under control. I have learned that to truly bless others I must be an instrument in his hands, I cannot do it on my own. It is very easy to feel inadequate and spiritually behind. When we compare ourselves to the appearance of others or let in Satan's mantra of negativity, all can seem out of reach. Faith in christ means we believe he lives and is who he says he is. It also means believing and trusting in what he taught us to do. He has taught that as we live his gospel, primarily, of faith and continuous repentance, we need not fear for we are his. That leads to our most recent counsel given by our prophet. He advised us to do 5 things I am sure you have heard quite frequently this month. Those 5 things are to help us build positive spiritual moment. What we want, especially now, is positivity. Positive growth. Now a scripture given from Chirst to Joseph Smith, (section 50) 23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness. 24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day. 25 And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth, that you may chase darkness from among you Those verses are so good. Just re-read them and be grateful for the word of God given to man for a moment. Now, recognize that If something in your life is not light, then it is not building your positive spiritual moment. Chase darkness from among you!! I love you all. I miss my family and home, but not nearly as much as I love the lord and these people. The best personal decision I have made thus far in my life was deciding to worthily serve a mission. #iréyharé Elder Telford woAh so many pictures Lots of me and others Taught English Some food.
