Trusting>Stressing

 At zone conference last friday something that our mission president's wife talked a lot about was love, she said missionary work without love becomes robotic. It was just something that hit me pretty hard, I love the way the church invites us to Love, share, and invite, and I think a lot of times as missionaries we find ourselves sharing and inviting before loving. It completely changed the way i saw missionary work, i realized that when I try harder to love the people, I feel more of the savior's love for them and also for me, and it helped me see the people of Argentina the way the savior sees them 

Now that I got the spiritual part out the way early let me tell you this week, more like last weekend, was pretty stressful. So we had 2 people preparing to get baptized, Naldo and Gustavo, straight cap, everything was good we got their interviews done, and then on Saturday we just could not find them, not gonna lie I was kinda stressin out, I thought we had another Maria situation from last week ya know, well Sunday morning we found and woke up Naldo everything was good, then 5 minutes before church his motorcycle got a flat tire, so we flew over to his house and picked him up and threw him on the back of the bicicle to bring him to church it was epic, then Gustavo finally answered us at 10 am saying he was at church we were like bruh what is happening, but they both got baptized safe and sound don't even worry

This experience taught me a lot about Trust, sometimes I feel like we stress out as missionaries and it may be because we are lacking trust in the lord. Sometimes I find myself stressing a lot over our friends when I know i've really tried/done everything I can, so this week ima try to work on trusting more in the Lord, doing everything I possible can and leaving the rest in his hands, trusting that his plan is perfect and that his plan will always be better than my plan

Also I was riding friday afternoon on my bike everything was great, really was feeling the spirit a ton, trying to love everyone then bam out of nowhere this bug came flyin into my eye way over the speed limit, not gonna lie almost lost my eye, the rest of the day people just thought I was an emotional guy because my eye just wouldn't stop crying, for all I know that bug is still in my eye, one of the most painful experiences of my life, but who knows maybe God was trying to teach me a lesson, maybe I was judging too much, its like Christ says "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam (bug) that is in thine own eye?"

Amen.
