The Blueprint for Happiness

Florinda's Baptism

I love being a missionary.

This past week Florinda got baptized!! Ah she is incredible. When we contacted her on the street, she originally said that she didn't want anything but that we could come over for her grandson and teach him. In our first lesson the grandson said he didn't want anything, but Flor was hungry for more. She went from smoking 7 cigarettes a day to only half of one in one week. She went from almost never leaving her house to calling members and begging them to give her rides to the church activities. What an amazing experience to watch the Spirit work in and with people. She is one of my favorite people on this planet, and such a great example of how white and ready to harvest the field is.

A couple of weeks ago we had the INCREDIBLE opportunity to hear from Elder Cook and his wife, and a few other general authorities. Needless to say, the Spirit was abounding. One of my biggest takeaways was how the work of the Lord is a work of love.

I have found that to be so true in my mission. People respond when we treat them with love, when we treat them the way that Christ would, and the way that Heavenly Father wants.

As Elder Uchtdorf once said, "The blueprint for happiness is to believe, love, and do."

BELIEVE in God. (Mosiah 4:9)

LOVE Him. (John 4:7)

And DO what He has asked of us. (Mosiah 2:41)

This week, don't forget to BELIEVE, to LOVE, and to DO. I promise that happiness will follow. :)
