CAMBIOS

Querida Familia!

Well, I found out last night that I´m going to have changes. I don´t yet know anything about my new area or my new companion. On Wednesday we make the long bus ride to Cardenas where each of the missionaries who have changes meet and await their fate :) After a short meeting they will tell us where we are going and who our companions are. I know that changes are inspired directly from our Heavenly Father. I recently re-read the talk ´´Come What May and Love It´´ by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. It is such a wonderful talk!! It has really helped me to develop my trust in my Father in Heaven and in His will. I love this talk because as we learn to accept the will of the Lord, we will eventually come to love it. We will understand that God truly has a plan for us and we can trust that it will always be the best for us. In this talk Elder Wirthlin mentions four steps to accepting and loving the will of the Lord. 1)LEARN TO LAUGH Laugther truly changes our perspective. A smile is one of the most powerful tools that we have. As we enter each situation with a smile and a positive attitude our eyes will be opened to the countless blessings that the Lord has for us 2)SEEK FOR THE ETERNAL God´s perspective is much grander than our own. As we widen our view we will gain a greater understanding of the trials and blessings that we are given. God has so much happiness planned for us--not only in this life, but in the eternities as well. 3)UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE OF COMPENSATION The Lord compensates the faithful. If our eyes are single to the glory of God and we make living this gospel a priority, we will never lack. We will have all that we need....and more. The plan of God promises much more than mere contentment and comfort, we are promised eternal JOY! We will be compensated for any sacrifice that we make to follow the will of the Lord. 4)PUT OUR TRUST IN OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST If all else fails - TRUST. Trust in our loving Heavenly Father and patiently wait for Him to enlighten our understanding. As we accept the will of the Lord we are demonstrating our love for Him and telling Him that we trust Him. We are imperfect, but the Lord is without fault. We can trust that His will and His plan for us are flawless as well. Trusting can be easier said than done, but I know that all will be well as we exercise our trust in our Beloved Savior.

Well my dear family, I love you all so much. You are each some of the grandest blessings that my Heavenly Father has granted me. Thank you for the support and the examples that you all are. Much love :)

Go Forward With Faith,

Hna Falslev :)

Oh....and HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)
