Llamado a Servir en España: The Hand of The Lord

I am going to do a really short email today so I have time to email everyone back. I just want you all to know how incredibly grateful I am for the hand of the Lord in my life! He is there for us EVERY SINGLE DAY! He puts people in our paths everyday, or scriptures, or songs, or emails, or letters, or devotionals, or honestly ANYTHING and it has an impact on our lives. I have started keeping a gratitude journal for all of the things I am grateful for in the day when I have seen the hand of The Lord in my day. Let me tell you all, that has been the biggest blessing in my life this past week. I ALWAYS run out of time to write everything down because there are always so many times that I notice The Lord´s hand in my day. I want to share a few of them with you from this week.

1. Hermana Rollins. She is incredible! I love both of my companions. Last week Hermana Devereaux taught me how important it is to realize that The Savior is our best friend and companion that will never leave us. This week Hermana Rollins taught us the importance of ALWAYS being happy no matter what! She told us a really personal story about when she lost her mom and we all bawled through the whole thing. But at the end when we were asking her how we could help her she said, "Oh I am totally fine! I am so grateful for the experiences I am having and even though I just barely lost my mom I know I need to be serving a mission right now and that is what will bless my family the most. I honestly don´t know how to be mad, sad or angry. I really have only known how to be happy!" She is the most incredible person and such a wonderful example to me. She is always happy and always looking for ways to share that happiness with others. She makes me want to be better every single day!

I am so blessed to be companions with these two amazing sisters...Hermana Deveraux and Hermana Rollins

2. Last week at the park I was with two of the new sisters learning Russian. They are just the cutest! Sister Collard and Sister Allred. The first lady we talked to was named Nuria. She was very excited to hear about the gospel and it was a neat opportunity for me to be able to speak so much spanish with her. I later found out that she is a teacher and just loves helping children learn and bringing light into their lives. HOW PERFECT!! I was able to completely relate to her and even better was that I was able to relate her teaching to the gospel. Such a neat experience where the Hand of the Lord was present. The next people we talked to was a couple from Australia. They were hilarious! Turns out that they lived in Boston for 40 years and they love biking! I definitely thought of my wonderful family when I talked to them! Heavenly Father truly loves ALL of His children and is preparing them to receive the Gospel by certain people. We need to be His hands and listen to where He needs us to be!

3. A cute family from Germany came to take a tour of the MTC this week and they had two little blonde girls who spoke English! You can just picture me talking to them :) They honestly looked so much like Liza and Abby it was killing me! After they left I just cried and cried! I miss my little princesses so much!! But that was definitely a tender mercy from Heavenly Father to give me the opportunity to be with little kids in the CCM.The Hand of the Lord truly is in our Everyday lives. I challenge you all to write down every night at least 3 times when you saw the hand of the Lord. It will bless your life SO much!!

I know that The Lord is watching out for each and everyone of us and blesses our lives everyday! We truly do have so much to be grateful for! I am grateful for all of you and all of the letters and emails I receive from you! Thank you for your kind words and prayers! They are definitely felt here in Spain! I love you all!

Love,

Hermana Eyring
