To pray! It's  not just important before setting your goals! It is vital!. God is the only one who know us better than anyone in the universe and if we ask to him what we must do, I'm pretty sure that he will always say it. Four months ago I set a goal about increasing my incomes so I prayed to Lord in order to ask his help to achieve this goal. In that time one of my goals was " Get a job in an important Organization in order to put in practice my adquired knowledge and gain experience" So It appeared two opportunities one in  the same job where I worked but was a higher salary and the other was in the Capital of Peru (Where I live now), both offered me the same salary but the second offered me more oportunities. My boss in the first job was a closer friend of mine and He rejected me in the interview because He told me that he would  not hire me because he wanted to keep me in his staff and he considered that the other position would not allow me to grow as a professional. The point is the two weeks later I was accepted in the second job when I work now. But What I've felt is that I'm not here to gain money or experience, I'm here to preach the gospel and be an example of my partners. I'm closer of the Temple and the MTC in Peru, and by coincidence I rented a room without knowing that  my neighbor was also member of the Church. It's bit strange because I feel that God wants me to do something and that's what I'm trying to discover now. In few words now I'm in a better job and I'm growing spiritually, which is the most important.
