Elder Jakob Lutze: Semana 67 (Divine Identity)

Buenas!!

I can't believe that transfers are already over!! Time really do be flying!

This week/last week started off with a really good intercambios! I was with Elder Rodriguez in Vista Alegre 1. Him and I had a ton of fun, and have become really good friends throughout our mission! I got to do an interview which was fun! And we went to their ward party which was waaaay awesome!

We had Zone Conference which was awesome! I got to see a lot of friends, and Elder Rendón! He was telling me all about Penonomé and Antón, it made me super happy!

Had another interview with Ariel! That was cool, because I had gotten to teach him a little before as well! But it was really cool because when it was just us two, he said "Yea, only the OPs in Brawl Stars can be here." I saw him playing one day, and we had a conversation about it, but yea, I'm an OP

An old lady hugged me and blessed me in the name of the virgin of Guadalupe. It was strange.

I met and talked to my new friend from Saudi Arabia! His name is Khaled. He is super awesome! We had some good conversations!

Did a service activity which was cutting bushes. It was fun!

Church was super hype! We had 5 friends come to church! This transfer we sure have been working hard! We have planted a crazy amount of seeds, that's for sure!

My spiritual thought this week is something important for all of us! From the scriptures we know that Jesus suffered, was mocked, and was judged as a thing of naught. As I pondered on this, I began to wonder how he was able to go through all of that. Obviously, He was perfect, but what was it that allowed Him to overcome these judgements of others?

Personally I think it is because Jesus knew two very important things. He knew WHO He was. And He knew WHAT His purpose was. I strongly believe that if we ourselves come to learn WHO we are and WHAT our purpose is, that we too may be able to overcome many things. Especially the judgements of others, and even our own judgements of ourselves. I truly testify that we are children of God! We have a divine purpose and destiny which is to become like God himself, and to help others! I encourage you all to find your own divine identity! As well as your divine purpose! I promise you all that it will be a blessing and guide to all of you!

I'm so grateful for this transfer I've had with Elder Stapley! I have learned a lot! I'm excited for this next transfer! I'll be with Elder Zepeda! And I will also have some extra responsibilities that I'm excited for!

Please pray for me and my people! Pray for my zone! And pray for the mission Panama! It truly is the best in the world! Love you all! Have a great week!
