This week has been crazy. We've had Multizone conferences all week, and it has been exhausting. We got up early every day to set up, and made sure everything ran smoothly, and then we got to go pick up lunch, which were burritos from about 45 minutes away, so we got to rest in the car. The burritos are made by an English guy, like from England, and he was super cool! He makes everything himself, including the tortillas, the barbecue beef, hot sauce, and everything! It was so good! He said he was inspired by Chipotle when he went to the states, and his boss back in the UK didn't think it would work, but when he moved to Peru, he tried it, and it worked perfectly! It's a huge hit, and it's super good!
In the multizones we talked about some great stuff though! We talked about the law of sacrifice, life planning, and the law of consecration. It was so interesting, because the law of consecration can turn into just a law of outward performances, where we are consecrated for the simple end of being consecrated. When we consecrate ourselves with a specific goal in mind, like finding people to "help... come unto Christ," we have power. It's when we focus on our goals, and understand that that's the reason we're doing everything we're doing, that's when we see power in our lives. When we are willing to sacrifice everything, that's when we are able to see miracles, and we have the power we see exhibited in countless scriptures. It was so cool!
We also talked about how our life plan needs to line up with our patriarchal blessing, and with God's will for us. If we make plans that are not according to the will of God, and we want it enough, He'll let it happen, but we will not be nearly as happy as we would be if we were following His will. Sometimes we end up miserable, even though we got what we think we wanted. Sister Amato, our mission president's wife, had us all draw out a map of our life, and then set our goals for 10 years, 2 years, and 1 year. It was so cool! We were able to really feel the influence of the Lord guiding us in our future! I know He knows us, and loves us, and will help us in everything we ask him for!
Love you all!
