Last week was my two month mark, which is so crazy! Time has been going by pretty fast. The weeks feel like days and the days feel like hours. The Louisiana life has been great and has kept me busy for sure. We have an investigator, Angee, who almost has a baptismal date :) I am so excited for her to make the step that will change the rest of her life. She is so great and makes the most amazing food for us!! I will have to watch out so that I don't gain any weight haha.
This week we went to a zone meeting in Alexandria. It was nice because Leesville is a smaller town so they don't have a lot of food places or stores, so I got to eat Chick Fil A :)
This past week has been very trying and hard. I now know what it means when people say "a mission is the hardest thing I have ever done" because it is true! However, I have grown so, so much. And even though this has been pretty hard, I have not been going through it alone. It is a comfort to me to know that the Lord is on my side. There have been specific experiences that have happened to remind me that God is there and he DOES answer prayers...even a Louisiana missionary like me :)
This week I want to challenge y'all to pray for something, anything. It could be for comfort, or for an answer. I promise that if you pray in faith, that God will answer your prayer because he loves each and every one of us! I love this Gospel and am so grateful for it. I love y'all so much and miss home a lot...but I know that this is where the Lord wants me right now.
In 3 Nephi 15:9 it says "Behold I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life."
I know that if we endure to the end, we will be able to live with our Heavenly Father again, and that will be more than worth all that we are going through now.
Keep your heads up and feel free to email me and say hi :) I appreciate all the love and support.
Love,
Sister Amanda Cornia
