This week has been a
good one, but we are tired. We did our
first divisions this week. I stayed in
the area with my daughter, Hermana Cervantes.
It was a great day and it was fun to be with her again and see how we
have grown as missionaries. Elder Toris
from the Seventy came to our mission for a mission tour. On Friday, we had meetings literally all day
with him. On Saturday, we had a meeting
with the leaders. There were 25 of us in
total. I thought it would be an hour to
hour and a half meeting. When I looked
at my watch, at the end of the meeting, it had been over three hours. It was one of the most spiritual experiences
in my life. We talked about what we can
do to improve the mission. He worked us
through what a real counsel should be.
To be in his presence and talk with him and for him to share some of the
things he did was something hard to describe.
I’ve heard about these stories before.
An apostle visits a mission and when he shakes their hands he interviews
each and every one of them. He told us
in the meeting that he interviewed each and every one of our companions. He shared with us the problems he felt as he
looked in our eyes. He shared with us
some of the experiences he had with the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He told us we will know if we have been good
missionaries when our grandkids receive their endowments. He said that the Second Coming will come
tomorrow and now is the time to prepare.
He said the weakness we have as humans is that we can’t do anything without
the Atonement, without Christ. I love
you!!
