God Sends His Angels

Your girl here in Mangomarca has survived her first week being a trainer! There aren't many things to say... mostly just that I'm grateful for the knowledge of a loving Heavenly Father. He knows us better than we will ever know. I'm grateful for the heart that He has given me... that I find joy in the work... that I love these people... because if I didn't have that... well, things would be a lot harder.

This week I have learned so much about trusting the Lord, that this is His work, that He is in every detail. There is no way I could do this work without His strength. It is His power that helps my Spanish, it is His power that keeps me healthy, it is His Spirit that touches people's hearts and heals their souls.

There are some lyrics to a song that I listened to this week that just hit home...

I will stand as a witness of God.

I will carry His love in my heart.

I will serve, I will pray.

I will walk in His ways

Till the work that He gave me is done.

I didn't sign up for a mission just to have a good time... live in a different place for a year and a half... I signed up because I know Jesus Christ lives. I testify that this truly is the greatest work on the earth today....

I love you all. Have the best week.

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...
