Well everyone,
But hey, I wanna tell a few things that have happened here.
Did I mention that Ivo proposed to Rowena a little while ago? They´re gonna be married in the temple in a year :)
Also, we´re getting a mini missionary for 1 week (last name is Akash). He´s a member from a nearby ward (a convert of a few years). He´s planning on serving a mission in January, but he wants to do this mini mission to see kinda what it´s like.
He´s gonna be companion to Elder Sosa, although we´ll work with him too. He´ll be here til Sunday. :) Something different. Should be cool. Gonna be insanely cramped now in the apartment heheh awesome.....
This week we had a meeting with ]Judith. We went with a sister from the ward, which turned out to be exactly what was needed....
When we started talking she told us what she had just found out. That she has cancer, in stage 3 (out of 5)... ... She is taking it very well. She wants to fight it, and she’s waiting now to find out more info from the doctor. ...
We talked to her about her testimony, and she told us all about how she came to know things in the gospel were true, how she had felt the spirit throughout the time she had been investigating. The Sprit there was strong as we asked her about what she wanted to do with that knowledge. She told us that she wants to be baptized, but that she just needs some more time, to prepare....
I am so often baffled at how the Lord chooses to prepare his children. Judith is one of the most spiritual persons i know. She is kind and honest, and she wants to improve her life, and do God´s will. I wonder why God challenges her with something so great. But what I do know, and what i testified to her, was that even though often we don´t know where the ship is heading, we can be comforted when we realize that He is at the wheel, and he is steering us to the place we most need to be.
The same is true for all of us. God knows where He´s taking us. This is His plan. He knows us and what course we need to take to be prepared to meet Him again. All of you, I hope that when things your going through are hurting you, that you can pray to Him. He may not always give you all the answers, but he will comfort you and give you peace you need to go on. I testify of that.
I love you all. Hope you know that my mission is amazing. I love it.
I wish you guys a great week,
Elder Chantry
