Mission Office- Week 14

Hello World!!!

This past week was a little slow in the office, which is rare. This week, we did not have any type of meetings or conferences, so the traffic in the office was at a low. That gave us a lot of time to work in the field, which was a refresher. 

This week I can truly testify that Heavenly Father gives us revelation in the moments that we need it most. Ever since I got in the office, I have been fighting with a problem about the visas of the missionaries. I will not go into a lot of details, but it was the kind of problem that is really big and it couldn´t be fixed all at once, so it got thrown on the back burner. However, it was a big problem and I wanted to find a way to handle it without costing hundreds of dollars and lots of time of the missionaries´work in the field. This week, I can without a doubt say that Heavenly Father answered my prayer. I was on the phone with a representative from the Missionary Department of the church (we were actually talking about another problem) when something that the representative said got my attention. I hangup and immediately the solution to that big problem came to my mind. It was quiet and clear. I knew what I needed to do. The solution will take place over the next couple of weeks but I know that it was Heavenly Father that gave me this solution.

This week, we started teaching a women that is living with a man that got baptized a couple of months ago. They have three small kids and are not legally married. However, she has an incredibly strong desire to be baptized and in just three visits, we can see how she has changed a lot. She came to church last week and when she went to read the BOM, she told us that she read that part we left for her to read six times. She said a prayer to asked God if it was true and received her answer that yes it is true. It was truly a miracle of Heavenly Father. 

Anyway, I ran out of time. Love and miss you all lots. Look for the small miracles from Heavenly Father every day and everyday will be that much better.

Com amor,

Elder Pinkney
