"He made my feet to walk upon a narrow road

My knees He made to bow and praise

and He made my legs to stand in the light of His love and praise

He made my eyes to be His eyes

He made my heart to recognize His truth that fills these ears He made

He made my tongue to give Him praise"

 

Today, after a sweaty game of volleyball

This past week was a challenge here in Chamelco.  It's a beautiful but tough area!  The members here are about as uninterested in the work as the evangelicos.  The investigators hide behind their curtains, no one wants help cleaning their homes.. haha I had my first experience getting yelled at!  It was awesome!  And scary!  Haha this woman who has already taken the first 2 lessons came storming out of the shower telling us to get out, we aren't welcome in her home, she already accepts Jesus (clearly), and she is going to tell all her friends not to listen to us.  Haha her husband whispers "lo siento" as we peaced out.  Welcome to the mission Hermana Chetz (no one can say my name haha).

 

Reunion de distrito

I was starting to feel down but then I read mosiah 14:3-5 "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised and we esteemed him not.  Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

 

Life was anything but easy for Christ.  As a representative of Christ, why should I expect my mission to be easy?  Prophets of old were much better teachers, more worthy than I, and they were persecuted.  Like Christ, servants of God are persecuted, despised, and rejected -but with His stripes we are healed.  We can find peace and confidence in Him and His atonement.

"He made my feet to walk upon a narrow road"

3 Nephi 14:14 says "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it"

Hermana Hernandez and I (she is from Mexico City.
Her mother is the housekeeper for Isaac's Mission President!

As we all strive to bring others to Christ we will not always experience immediate success.  The road to all that God has is narrow, for all us.  I am thankful every day to have a Savior who walks with me every step of the way down that narrow path as I try to help others learn how to do the same.  "Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me."

 

Let us all walk with Him.  He will ever guide us.
