One thought on something I learned this morning. Jesus planned for Peter to accomplish great things and trained him accordingly. When the fishers returned with empty nets, Jesus told them to go out to the deep waters and told them exactly where to cast their nets. They followed his guidance exactly and the boats started to sink because of the size of the catch. So it can be with us as missionaries, fishers of men. We have been called to go out to the deep waters I have been blessed to have several beautiful experiences during my time in Italy. My boat was under construction, but now is ready to set sail. I have already witnessed multiple miracles through my willingness to trust the direction of the Holy Ghost to leave the safety of the shore and venture into the deep waters.
I am so busy teaching that we have never set aside time to do finding on the street, much less going door to door. I have been guided to the people who Heavenly Father specifically places in my path because in His grand plan I was trusted to bring the light of the gospel to their lives. I have the companion who will be my support and mentor as I obtain the vision of all that I can truly accomplish during my limited time here. There is so much joy in our service. Even as we run around our house because there is so little time, our hearts of full and we glory in our opportunity to act as instruments in the hands of the Lord to bring about the full knowledge of the blessings He desires for each and every of His children. I have gained a deeper appreciation of those blessings as I recognize the contrasts.
