I think it's unbelievable at times just how present God is in His work. He's always watching, directing, measuring progress, seeing successes and failures, growth and attempts to grow. What would it be like if we were all so involved in our work? Whatever it is that we do (for me right now as a missionary, for others around the world whatever their occupations may be) I think there is great power in dedicated service. There is always just some one on the bus, miracles every day, the person to be found in the park and there she is. It's unbelievable!
The mission to me is the biggest paradox of my life so far. It is my refiner's fire FOR SURE. Not doubting it. Grateful for it. I am constantly perplexed and confused, and yet at times feel as though I understand the world (and even things not of this world) so clearly it shocks me.
Soo many people wrestle with the spirit they just wrestle with it. I made the comment to Sister Seninger this week (who is so great by the way) that I have seen it over and over and over again where people I teach on my mission are just physically, mentally, and spiritualy battling with the Holy Ghost. I don't understand why. I saw it with in Trencin, in Bratislava, and here. They know it's true. They've received the witness. But for whatever reason they can't seem to righteously exercise their agency.
I know the Book of Mormon is like a compass for us. It is sooo full of guidance. I apologize for the short letter this week. I had much to say to President McConkie. I love you all! I hope you have a spiritual week and recognize that the Lord's hand is in EVERYTHING that you do. Even when you brush your teeth in the morning :) Thank God that you're awake and breathing :)The mission to me is the biggest paradox of my life so far. It is my refiner's fire FOR SURE.
