When we got home I ran across a note I had
taken at the MTC. It was from a clip we had watched by Elder Bednar about
teaching by the spirit. I reviewed these
notes a couple of times on the mission. The notes say, “ we don’t know when we
are doing it ahead of time, we’re prepared and doing what’s right - it happens-
follow the good ideas that come to us- don’t talk yourself out of it. As a
missionary- say those things that pop into your head during the tours”.
It did
happen that way on the mission and in reverse. Sometimes I forgot to say things
I usually included in the tour. As I thought about the tour later, I realized
that it wasn't important to the tour. So it works both ways. The Lord is in
charge and he uses the missionaries to give the message he wants each person to
hear.
I feel that is good advice for life and
following the spirit. Often times we must step forward into the dark before we
are sure we are taking the correct path. As we look back we realize that we were
guided even though we didn’t feel it at the time.
I am grateful for our mission to Cove Fort.
It was a special experience to know that you are an extension of Lord’s will.
We were in a special bubble for six months, protected from the worldly worries.
I know that we were protected. I know the blessing of health that George gave
me had an impact on my overall health as well as the health of my eyes. Dr.
Mehr was surprised my eye was doing so well and commented that I had been
blessed because of my service on the mission. I know the Lord blesses us when
we are obedient. I love the Lord.
