This week was a really, really great week!! We stayed really busy at the Visitor Center.
At the beginning of the week, my companion and I decided to set another goal for scheduling tours at the Visitor Center. We made the goal for 21 tours, and we worked really hard all week to meet that goal. Unfortunately, by Sunday afternoon we had only done 18 tours for the week. We did lots of contacting Sunday afternoon and by Sunday night we had 2 more scheduled for a total of 20. We only needed one more tour. We decided we would go give the last tour and then hope that someone would respond to us so we could meet our goal of 21 tours. Right before walking down for that last tour one of our new investigators called us and we scheduled a tour with them. We met our goal at the very last second!!! I have a strong testimony that the Lord loves effort and he will help us as we put in that effort. We had some really awesome tours this week and I'm truly so grateful for the opportunity I have to work in the Visitor Center every day. My testimony grows stronger with every tour I give. We are working hard and having so much fun at the same time, and I have really seen an improvement in my Italian during the last few transfers.
I have also been studying a lot about spiritual gifts and how important it is for us to earnestly seek these gifts. We are commanded to obtain spiritual gifts because through them we can overcome our weaknesses and be perfected. Whenever I heard the phrase "our weaknesses can become our strengths" I was always so confused how that could be possible. . .it didn't make sense to me. However, I read in the book "The Infinite Atonement" this week that when we have a weakness it is our duty to pray to obtain the gift that will help us overcome that weakness. Right then the light bulb turned on and I realized that that is how we can make our weaknesses strengths. Spiritual gifts are so important for us to obtain and work for every single day. We are all blessed with different talents and gifts but we must put in the effort to develop them!
Love you all so much!!
Ci sentiamo presto!
