What Do You Know About Fire Alarms

BUENAS!

Wow, this week went by so fast I can't even believe it! Once again, I am in shock of the way the Lord guides our lives as missionaries.

On the 19th, we had our plan and both of our backup plans fall through and decided to take a more relaxed way of contacting, and just get to know some people in the park. I kid you not guys, the first lady that we talked to was a miracle. She had been taught by missionaries previously and her información got lost when she moved. She was so excited to be talking with us, we ended up having a lesson with her right then and there. AND not one but 2 ladies from the ward ended up passing by and joined our lesson. God's truly got a plan. Sometimes we just can't see it right when we are in the middle of it. But every time I look back, I see the Lord guiding my every step. And that alone is a blessing.

I've had many people tell me that we as missionaries are angels, and we are sacrificing so much to be here, and how hard it must be to be without your family. And truly it is hard. It's hard to miss family things, hard to see friends together, hard to try and truly live in the moment. But what an amazing opportunity for me to be able to serve in this way. I had a friend tell me how special the mission is to her. How no one gets this experience. No one. Not even the people you serve with will have the same experience because it was made just for you. This really made me think about how this is also about our lives. No one. No one will have this same earthly experience that you will. No one will know the Savior in the way that you do... because it is yours. And what an amazing privilege that is for all of us. To know the Savior personally in a way no one else can even probably comprehend.

I'm grateful for this. For a Heavenly Father who knows me perfectly. For a Savior who was willing to do it all for me. For the honor to wear His name over my heart every day.

Don't you ever forget how much Jesus Christ loves you.

PERÚ

So I made it to Perú, and genuinely I love it here so much! I love the people, the city, the dogs—I just do. I was anticipating not to, and I'm not sure why. But this week has been amazing. God truly works miracles, He still moves mountains, and He loves so unconditionally. I don't have much time, and I'll fill you all in more next week, but know I carry you all in my heart as I walk around Perú! Hermana Lefler

Would You Go?

Ahhhh hello all!! This week flew by, and was so full of miracles! We had zone conference this week, which was amazing! We talked about finding the one and how far we would go to find the one. If the Lord asked you to go to the moon, would you go? This had me thinking a lot about my relationship with the Savior — how far would I go... apparently Perú... but how in tune am I with the Spirit to be led and find the people that the Lord has been preparing... I just have this little scripture I want to share. It's Alma 22:18: “O God,” he prayed, “Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee." I love this last part... I will give away all my sins to know thee... to know the Savior... to know His heart... to KNOW HIM. We have the opportunity to know Him if we will just turn our sins, our burdens, our hearts over to Him. Don't you want to know Him? That's m...
