Obedience

Hola Familia!

This week I learned a valuable lesson about obedience. When we are obedient we get to see miracles. I learned this week that even the little rules count. If the little rules weren’t important then they wouldn´t be rules.

One of the goals of Mission Peru Iquitos is “Voy a ser completamente obediente” I will be completely obedient. Sometimes in the mission, or in life, we forget to be obedient. I learned this week that it doesn´t matter the circumstances. Obedience is always the first priority. When we are obedient to the laws and ordinances of the gospel we have a spiritual protection. When we obey the laws of the land we have a physical protection. When we are completely obedient Satan has no power. I want to be the type of person, the type of missionary that Satan can’t get to.

Your obedience sends blessings to us. Our obedience sends blessings to you.

I was reading in the conference Liahona; Sister Stephens said that when we partake of the sacrament we not only renew and remember our baptismal covenants but also all of the other covenants. We all need to be sure that we are keeping our promise to be obedient.  I for one could definitely improve my obedience and my attitude about obedience. I hope that you all have the chance to exercise your obedience this week. It’s really cool to see the spiritual difference.  

Have a wonderful week!
