Gonna keep
this one short. But Ririe and I have been coming home every night so
exhausted from working its crazy! And God just keeps on giving us new
things to do, more people to work with and its honestly such a
blessing. Im just so happy right now to be doing the Lords work and to
have such a cool comp to do it with!
So
Tuesday was an amazing day like honestly one of those days I always
dreamed that my mission would be like. I never dreamed of my mission
with regards to rejection, haha i never even though about that aspect of
the mission. But I always had this dream of success and seeing people
see so clearly the message of the restored gospel for what it is. And
thats exactly what happened this day. We set up 3 baptismal dates! One
with this dude we found named David! Working with him to help him
overcome his addiction to drinking, but putting this fecha with him
definitely puts a light at the end of the tunnel for him and something
to work towards! Also set up a date with Carlos and Dunya for the day
after their wedding!! They are such a cool family and story. Carlos is
like a ex gang member but is spun a 180 with his life and now has a
family he cares for and realized the truth of this gospel and how it can
help his kids in their future. Hes a real smart guy and started
speaking English out of the blue with me this week. I was shocked cause
I had no idea he even could hahaa.
So just
some cool thoughts going through my head this week. I honestly felt
this week like I was opening up my mouth and the spirit was speaking
through me. Like words were seriously coming to my mind and I would
just say them as they came and I could just feel the spirit working
through me. I explained some things that are usually hard to explain,
and it came out so easy and I knew that the words were not just my own.
I looked back and tried to remember what I said and I really couldn't
this reminded me of a really cool scripture in Doctrina y Convenios
100:6. You all should read it. The other cool thing that happened was
just realizing the power and authority that Ririe and I teach with. I
recognize that this power and authority comes directly from our setting
apart as missionaries and worthiness and faith and diligence in the
work. Alma 17:3 is one of my favorite descriptions of this power and
authority that I'm talkingaabout. These lessons we have been having
though seriously couldnt be planned though and I can see the Lords hand
in our lives every day using us as his instruments to call to his chosen
people.
Anyway I just wanna say that its a
blessing and privilege to be out here serving in Honduras. Im so
grateful for all these experiences that Im having. No where better I
could be. I love you all and hope your all having a great start to the
school year and doing great in work and in church!
Love Elder Haden
P.S.
Shout out to my homie Kyle Schauerhamer for getting his mission call to
Milwaukee! Hes gonna kill out there and work so many miracles! Love
you dude!
