Last week heaps of things happened. First off it turns out
that my trainer Elder Gines did indeed get transferred out, we got an
unexpected call Monday night saying that he would be moving to Wagga Wagga
(Wah-gah-wah-gah) all the way up in new south wales which I was suprized was
part of our mission but it is.
I am now training Elder Masausabe and last week
I have learned soooo much about being a better leader and example. Plus my
skills as a missionary have improved heaps because I now have to lead and train
another missionary but I'm loving it because it means that Elder Masausabe and
I are together for a reason and we're teaching each other and helping each
other be better. My ankle is also doing amazingly well. I'm walking again and
can even run a bit so I'm just generally more happy that I can get working into
full gear again.
Over the past couple of days learning and serving have really
pushed me to improve, but as we know there's always opposition to the good
things in life and I admit sometimes I'm unsure if I can truly honestly do it.
But I've come to learn and realize that when we feel weak or unsure of things
it's just Satan influencing you to stop doing what you're doing. I prayed to
know if Heavenly Father believes in me......and I can testify now to all of you
that He does believe in me. And not just in me, but in all of YOU. All the
experiences of life that are good and that draw you to do good and follow Christ
testify of one eternal truth. That God in reality loves each and every one of
his children. In fact he loves us so much that he was willing to send his only
begotten Son to earth to die for us so WE can return to live with him. I
now have a new vision of what I can accomplish as a missionary and as a member
of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and this new vision is
actually in part of a talk that President Kimball gave called "When the
world will be converted" If you read it you'll understand more of what I
mean when I say that I've gained a new conviction and a new attitude towards
hastening the work. I love being a missionary so much and I hope that you all
have an amazing week! Love Elder Kaanapu, Jeremiah 32:27 and D&C 112:4
