I've spent a lot of time listening on my mission, but this week was a week of listening with my heart.
Little Evan is praying to know if he should be baptized. And to watch this little 10 year old talk out his concerns and come to the realization that he's never asked God a direct question before was a special moment. As he spoke, I felt that warm feeling in my heart that God would answer that sweet little boys sincere desire. I started crying as I told him that and he just grinned and asked:
"Why are you crying?"
His grandpa laughed as he explained sometimes when we feel the spirit we cry (@ me).
Later that week he caught me crying again after they sang "If I Listen with My Heart." He ran up to me with his bright little eyes and said:
"You must feel the spirit a LOT."
That is one of the things I love most about being a missionary- we feel the spirit a LOT. And it's when I listen with my heart that "He speaks to me in quiet ways that feel my soul with peace."
Take time to listen with your heart this week.
Love big! Love hard!
