I love emails and letters, whatever they’re about! And it let's me know what you’re up to in your everyday life which I am interested in. I know Heavenly Father is watching over the family and my loved ones, I ask Him to everyday and He has my whole life. Also this week I have felt comfort that if anything was to happen while I'm out, that this will be okay, that I'll be okay. I hear a lot, a lot, a lot about how our focus needs to be on the work, only. Sometimes I think it's a hard thing to ask, or that I have a hard time doing it. I wouldn't say I'm distracted, just that things other then mission stuff cross my mind from time to time. I've been asking H.F. to help me focus more because I know I will be more effective if I do. I could prob go on about this topic alone but I better move on. Just know that I am focusing on my mission and the work and what Heavenly Father needs me to do and then trust in Him to take care of things that I care about but can't think about as much. Does that make sense? Hope so. As I get closer to the Spirit I feel more love for my family! It's a complex! HAHAHA! Also as I get closer I get more emotional! Sometimes I start crying and I don't really know why I'm crying. Like when we're learning something in class or I share something or when I see that I need to be better.... It's interesting, but Esta Bien (It's all good).
Life is so great! I love being a missionary. .Last night Elder Didier of the 70ty gave the devo and one of the things he shared was about a sister who making her decision to serve a mission. It was a very hard one and took her away from her non-supportive family. Well, she was asked how she felt and she said, "I'm a missionary now, and I'm happy" . Though my situation is not as hard as that sisters I would echo her words, I'm a missionary, and I'm happy!!!!!!!!!!! Elder D. talked a lot about the Spirit and being worthy of it and needing it. I will be ineffective if I don't have the Spirit, totally. Not only missionary's need it but all of us need to strive to have it completely in our lives. There is a chapter in PMG (Preach My Gospel) about the spirit, read it! Today in the temple I learned that when we have hard feelings towards other's Heavenly Father’s Spirit can not work as effectively in our lives as it wants to do. NOT GOOD! We all need to be praying for understanding and forgiveness and guidance as to how to deal with people, and that they'll be patient with us too. I pray for this in my companionship. Because though I love them and am learning so much from them I still get negative thoughts here and there, BAD! So I pray for those things and H.F. has helped me so much. I could not do this without my wonderful companions!
Easter. This truly is a most special and important holiday. Most important thing in all of History! I will be reading up on the Atonement, Crucifixion and Resurrection. These event affects EVERYONE, even if they don't know it. And in a million ways, and I'll be teaching that to the people of Argentina!
I can't wait for conference either!!!! I keep hearing that it is an amazing opportunity to be in the MTC to listen to it, just and outpouring of the Spirit, I just can't wait! NO EXCUSES FOR ANYONE!!!! Everyone should watch it, there are tons of ways to access it, It will help and guide and bless lives in so many ways, it is so personal! When you share this with others I want them to know of the importance of it. People gaining a testimony of prophets is one of the biggest hooks in missionary work, and we have a prophet today, SO IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO HIM!!!!
Last thing, 1 Nephi 5:17 An increase of spirit because of genealogy work!
I LOVE YOU! HERMANA GRAHAM
