Beautiful Feet?

Sometimes Hermana Marroquin and I share scriptures that are funny when applied in a missionary setting. For example: Mosiah 12:21, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,"

My feet are less than beautiful these days. But I do my best to bring good tidings!

This week was interesting (okay every week in the mission is interesting). I won't go into a lot of detail but I will just say . . . the 4 of us hermanas that live together all ate a melon that was on the little-bit-too-ripe side, along with several days of consistently too-large-lunches, and our stomachs suffered for a couple days. Chilean food is delicious but it sometimes gives the digestive system quite the challenge! I have included a photo of the herbal remedy that a member gave us. One of the herbs is mint and the other I don't know how to say in English. I wasn't so confident that I wanted to drink it but I felt a lot better afterwards. I'm gaining a real testimony of the Word of Wisdom these days. I'm also learning to use discernment to be able to trust people. For example when people say "some other day you can visit me," I usually don't believe them. But when a member's like "hey put hot water on this plant matter and drink it and you will be healed," I'm like "yeah sounds good". 

But most of all, trust in the Lord. We can't always trust in people because they will make mistakes. But He can't make mistakes. He will always lead us in the right way. He will tell us what we need to do if we just listen. Sometimes we complain because we don't know what to do or we feel like we haven't received an answer, but we actually just don't want to accept the answer that we have receieved. I'm working on that now - really listening to what He wants me to do, not just what I want to do. I know that He's willing to lead us if we're just willing to follow. 

Well my dear people the time is too short. I hope everyone's doing great and keep doing your best in whatever you're doing! And enjoy the Olympics without me...

Much love,

Hermana Glazier
