Can you see what I see?

Another week has come and gone. This week I was a little saddened because Juan has gone missing and no one has seen or heard from him since we invited him to be baptized. 

But the work still moves on! Everything is in place for Josh and Tyler to be baptized this weekend.

On Wednesday we were supposed to be meeting with our investigator Nick but maybe Juan has been talking to him because he didn't show up either. Sometimes it is hard when you work so hard for these people and love them and do all you can to help them and they don't even recognize it. I am starting to know even a fraction of how God feels when working with me. But we had a really good conversation with our bishop that night. And maybe nick didn't show just so we could talk with Bishop.

We had noticed that this recent convert we had been meeting with had very little. Not even a pillow. We mentioned this to bishop and he told us about how he just got this huge order of pillows that they couldn't even sell and that the young women just so happened to have tied an extra blanket that was just sitting in the closet. He said how this is part of our calling to see some of the poor living situations of others but it is also part of our calling and his calling to see people as Christ would see them. I was so touched as tears ran down  his face and I could feel how much he truly cares for the Bourbonnais ward.

The people here are so wonderful. I love them with all my heart. That truly is the biggest blessing and opportunity as a missionary to see these people as Christ sees them. And let me tell you, he loves the Bourbonnais ward so much.
