When you think about it, our fall into mortality to come to this earth was actually a consequence, but a good one. We have faced ¨consequences¨ from the beginning of time.
Throughout our lives we experience all sorts of these effects or outcomes from our decisions, and from the decisions of others. However, there is something very important, which is that sometimes we aren´t actually facing a consequence of an action or decision when a trial or tribulation passes. The fact is that sometimes they are just there. We through the fall of Adam will face mortal death, injury, heartache, and just about every other temporal effect of being mortal and on this earth.
As I have been out here on the mission I have been experiencing health problems. Enough to where I have been down in bed sick about once every two weeks. It was to have been solved after about 10 doctor visits already, but it seems to just be one of my trials. For some time I thought it may be a punishment or a consequence of something I had maybe done. Through much of my own personal prayer and reading of the scriptures, I have come to learn that it isn´t that. I am an imperfect person in an imperfect world just like everyone else and I am subject to not be perfect in this life. I want to personally thank you all, for all the prayers and fasting. I have received enormous amounts of help. I am doing fine, I will be able to finish my mission, don´t you all go worrying. I´ll push it through strong. But I love you all immensely and thank you.
If there is something that I have learned, it is that a bit of a trial is no reason to throw in the towel. There is much work I can still do, and many that I still have to help. Something I have been able to notice is the wonderful consequences I have been able to see, like the blessing upon my family. Also, the amazing miracles I have been able to witness out here on my mission.
Might we all think a little more of the wonderful consequences that come from the actions we take, and might we all put a little more faith in our Savior Jesus Christ.
This last week we had some amazing luck with Dulce, she wants to be baptized and hear more. She has many doubts, but she said she has found answers through prayer and reading.
Laura is progressing and she is becoming better friends with those at church. She is also beginning to understand the plan of our Father.
Ramon is still attending and is beginning to pray out loud, that is a big step for him.
Now just look at these little consequences that I have been blessed to be a part of. All it took was an invitation, both literal and for the spirit to accompany us.
I hope you all had a great week. I love you all!
