This week was crazy busy but super great. We had leadership council on Friday which meant losing 2 full days of work in our area here in Guanacaste :( but the leadership council was great and I took a lot of stuff away from it. Nothing too crazy happened while we were in our area this week but Fernando is continuing to progress and preach the gospel to everyone he knows! We went to visit him again this week and he just tells us about how he had just shared the pamphlets that we hand out to people to his friends and that they really liked it! Missionary work works a lot better if the members participate! Super effective!
We also went to an African Safari today that our stake president owns and it was super fun! We got to go on a tour and feed giraffes and zebras and other cool animals, I´ll try to attach pictures!
But the leadership council was great and I learned a ton from it. One of my favorite parts from it was when they talked about the story from the New Testament where Christ tells the fishermen to cast their nets to the other side of their boat so that they could catch the fish. I love this story because I´m sure the fishermen doubted at first, having been experienced in fishing and all, but they were obedient to the Lord and were blessed for it. We can look at this story in several different ways, but the way we examined it in the leadership council was how following the Lord´s guidance leads us to find what He wants us to do and find. Maybe we´re experienced in something or we think we know what we have to do, but we´re just not seeing results or what we had expected, but if we just humble ourselves to the Lord, and trust that He knows the way, He will lead us to what we need. I loved learning about this story again and I know it can apply to anything in our lives. Just trust in the Lord and follow His guidance, and you will never go astray.
I hope everyone has a great week this week!
