Well
this week was interesting with having someone know less Spanish than me but we
survived. Except the first day my new companion was in the field, someone tried to
pick-pocket him! Instead of glaring
at them, I told them that we were missionaries and wanted to share a message
with them. We actually received their number and they looked dumbstruck at just
what happened. My companion asked me how was it possible for me to that. I
asked him, "Are they worth something to you?"
I
never thought that myself until that happened. I tell you that the hardest
commandment to keep is the second greatest commandment which is to love your
neighbor like yourself. I can tell you that it is even a sin to think wrong
about someone.
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their
weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is
sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble
themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become
strong unto them." (Ether 12:27)
The
only way to have love for others is to pray and be humble before God. That is
the only way we can keep this commandment and I bear the truth that this is one
of the most important commandment we have. And I know blessings will come to
those who keep. I exhort you all to pray that you can have love for every
person you see. Even those who do not love you.
Love
you all,
Elder
Broadbent.
It was a good day! we received an email, and pictures and videos!
