Here in Azuqueca we are hitting not only a draught temperally, but spiritually as well. Right now we are in desperate hitting the streets, finding mode. I don´t know how but everyone at one time dropped us. So we´ve been doing what all good missionaries do, contacting. My feet have the marks to show it. It´s been hard with the heat hitting in full swing but the game of salvation never was meant to be easy.
During our District Meeting on Wednesday we talked alot about obedience and what that meant. We talked about being a consecrated missionary. While we were talking a thought hit me "We become consecrated when we are consentreted on Christ." That really hit me. Have my thoughts been on Christ? Have I really been thinking about Him 24/7. Honestly no. I´ve been trying to focus more my thoughts and actions on what the Savior would do, then what Ms. Shurtz would like to do. Because although Ms. Shurtz is a fun girl and all. The Savior has the way to eternal life.
I know my Savior lives. His greatest gift He gave was Himself. He never once acted for His own gain, but under the will of the Father. I am amazed at the humility and self control He has. I wish to follow His example and swallow up my will to the Father´s. I am grateful for this gospel, I am grateful for the Atonement and that we can repent of all our sins, big and small. I love my Elder Brother Jesus Christ. I am forever grateful to Him.
Con Amor,
Hermana Shurtz
