So this week was an awesome one:) There were lots and lots of miracles weve seen, first of was the baptism of Jorge!! It was an amazing experience, to see this light in his eyes as he expressed to me afterwards in the bathroom changing that he feels like he can officially leave the past behind him and start over:) It was a really tender experience, i have truly grown to love Jorge and just as i have got to know him more and more he just blows me away on his perseverance to do the right:) Also another investigater that has litterally turned his life around is named Luis Gana and he has been in the drugs his whole life and has had lots of challenges and as we have visited him and he has come to the baptism and family night we held he has had a change of heart, he now has this light radiating from him and he is so ready to leave all behind and follow Christ. I love to see the lords hand truly mold people to who it is he needs them to be:)
An amazing experience that i had this week was we were in church in the gospel principles class with all our investigaters and the theme of the class was the preisthood. It was really really good and at the end i was feeling like i need to study to understand better how to utilize my priesthood more often and for good purposes, and right as i was thinking that there were 3 investigators that asked for blessings of counsel and so my companion and i and the brother who taught the class with the sister missionaries went to a separate room to give them blessings and the first two had asked the brother to give them the blessings then the last (a young 11 year old girl) asked me if i could give her the blessing, and knowing that she wasnt in much need to comfort i was a little nervous on what it was that i should say, but as i put my hands upon her head i felt the strongest impression to give her a blessing to start off her school year well, just as dad had always done for me at the beginning of each school year. And as i gave her that blessing i felt the most direct answer that i have recieved in my life that told me that i need to use my priesthood not only for those who ask, but the biggest reason will be to bless my children. I felt the sweetest feeling of calmness and excitement to have children and create my own family and be able to bless them:) It was very moving:))
I have been recieving lots of answers to unknown questions that i have had and recieved the comfort ive needed to keep on firmly in christ.
I love the lord and can see his hand in every aspect of my life and i am so pumped to be able to see it when i get home:)
I love you,
Elder collins
