It´s the coolest thing in the world to be a missionary. We always have the Lord at our back to protect us and guide us, I know that we are constantly guided and protected in the mission. This week we were able to find people to teach, a lot and it has been success given to us by the Lord.
I have been working on an attribute of charity lately, and trying to apply what the Prophet Moroni suggested us about praying with all our heart to be blessed with this love, and I feel that as days go by, I can inch and inch a little more with this attribute. I know if we develop this attribute, we will have the unselfish desire to help others. Sometimes it is so hard to develop these a attributes, sometimes we feel like we can never develop them... we shouldn't feel that way, we should recognize our weakness and depend on the Lord to make them strong unto us. It works, I have lived it, and I know it´s true.
The results are great, I don´t get upset when people reject me, instead of doing that I pray for them and be friendly to them. This is the greatest feeling in the world, to not get offended. Elder Bednard said that it is a choice to be offended.
The bishop in my area is an excellent bishop. He had a dream about me having an interview with him. He asked me if I was O.k. and I said yes. He asked me again and I said no. So he pulled me into his office and he testified to me of the atonement of our savior. The spirit filled the room, and he told me that NOW is the time to apply the atonement more than ever before, and have the Lord carry some of my weight because I can´t do everything by myself. I need to have more faith that the Lord can carry some of my weight and help me with my trials... I felt a lot of stress and hearing that helped me a lot. I felt in my heart that the Lord used him as an instrument to communicate this with me.
The Lord works amongst us, and many times if we have faith he can work
miracles.
Elder Olson
