This last week seemed to take a long time, and there was one day when we had Trainee/trainer training...that sounds dumb, but what do you do? and had to do some stuff at the embassy, and unfortunately that ate up pretty much all of the day, we made it back in time for the Branch talent show! It was really good! I didn't do anything though haha :) the beauty of not having any talents ;) But the week was still good.
We have some awesome investigators right now! we really really do, and I love them, but a couple of them are going through a trial in there faith, or just a trial that takes up their time and keeps us from meeting with them, but we are doing our best to help them, because we want so much for them and we know that the Gospel, no matter how good your life is, will bless your life. and that is 100% true! The Gospel of Jesus Christ always makes things better, and it is a miraculous thing!! it is such a marvelous gift that often times we take for granted! I am so thankful to have grown up in a church that contains the fullness of the gospel! And has the true and restored priesthood and authority from God! I'm also so grateful for my family, because they were and are so strong in the gospel throughout my whole childhood. They really showed me how to love my Savior Jesus Christ, and my love for Him has grown so much on my mission! He is the reason for everything good that we have in this life! He is payed an unimaginable price for us, so that we could return to live with our Heavenly Father and Him. We owe an unpayable debt, but that doesn't mean we can't try! He has done more for us than we could ever do for another person, ever. But that doesn't mean that we should just sit back, but instead take His perfect example of love and strive with all of our souls to be like him! I know that I have more than enough room to improve, but thanks to my Savior, I have a direction to go in and I have resources like scriptures, prayer, modern day prophets, to really try to grow and be like our Big Brother!
In the MTC one of my fellow missionaries had the awesome idea to set a Christ like attribute each week to work towards, and alternate it so that we are growing in different ways to be more like Him. I have started trying to implement that into my weekly goals, but I need to be better at it, plus a week is never enough time, but neither is the life we have on earth, but we gotta do our best.
Sorry I didn't talk too much about the week, not much happened to me specifically. But in other awesome news for the Fier Branch, 5 people got baptized and confirmed this last week. They seem like great guys and are an awesome addition to our incredible branch here! I am so excited for the work here and all over the world!
Remember to get involved in/keep getting involved in missionary work in your branch/ward! Member are absolutely essential and it is the Lords work! We receive such great joy from serving the Lord, and it is a good start to chipping away at that unpayable debt that we owe!
Have an Awesome week!!!
Love,
Elder Sajmëns
