Ok
so last week on monday and the whole week, I was actually feeling
PRETTY BAD. I was so tired and so scared because I was losing energy and
also stressed out with our area and even more worried about the
sisters. When we were in Santa Maria on tuesday, and I took advantage
and asked one of the assistants to give me a blessing in english. BEST
DECISION I COULDVE MADE. The moment I felt his hands on my head, and I
heard my full name in perfect english, I felt at home, the my Heavenly
Father was with me and all the bad feelings washed away. I got to feel
how Id been wanting to feeling for 14 months now: that God is happy with
my work, proud of me, and that he will accept my mission at the end of
it. WOW it was so amazing, and ever since tuesday, not that it has been
"easy", but I now I´m going to make it because I feel that kind of peace
we all seek. Peace isnt just sitting in a clean house on your couch,
resting. Peace is knowing that you are living in a manner acording to
God´s willing. And folks, I think im getting there!
I
love my mission, and I love the people here, even the ones who dont
love me, because they let me feel more in Christ's shoes :)
MUITO AMOR PARA Y'ALL,
Sister Lipps
