My
dearest family and friends!!!! Helllo, I hope you all have had an exciting
splendid week!!!! I sure do miss you all so much.
This
week has been busy busy busy, thats all that life is now days is just busy!!!!
I honestly wish i could slow time down and enjoy things, but we it just keeps
movin and i just keep livin haha. So we have traveled alot this week, been to
maryland and everwhere. And this week is going to be even more busier. We are
hoping to go fishing next week with our recent converts husband :) cant wait i
havent been fishing in a while!!!!
So
this week has been pretty good, I was able to go on exchanges and tract into a
awesome elect lady who has just been waiting for the gospel. We meet with her
on saturday and had an amazing lesson that was just so amazing and spiritual!!!
We felt really prompted by the spirit to set her with a date for July 28 and
feel really good about her making her date, this should be an exciting
conversion to watch. I love it!!!
Then
our recent convert Jerri Vincent is doing so so great !!! Lately she has been
taking care of a member from maryland, and it has been alot of stress on her so
we were able to go give her a blessing, but the sister that she is taking care
of is the one that introduced her to the church, she really hasnt been feeling
well and just is emtionally going through a hard time and spiritually. And I
dont wanna brag or boast in myself thats certainly not what i am doing , but
the spirit was so strong as i gave her the blessing and exercised my
priesthood, I am greatful for the spirit, i love heeding to its promptings,
there has been a countless number of times on my mission where the holy ghost
has guided me to know what to say. I listen and it seems to tell me what to
say, it truely is amazing to listen and to follow its prompting and watch it
effectour heavenly fathers children in such a powerful way, its amazing.
So
this week I read an awesome talk by Elder Henry B. Eyring from general
conference called mountains to climb. He shared something that really stuck out
to me.
"But
President Monson has also wisely taught that a foundation of faith in the
reality of those promises takes time to build. You may have seen the need for
that foundation, as I have, at the bedside of someone ready to give up the
fight to endure to the end. If the foundation of
faith is not embedded in our hearts, the power to endure will crumble."
In this
talk he talked alot about trials and why we have them and how we can overcome
them, but I know that if we put that faith in the priesthood and in the
blessings we recieve we will not crumble. Remember to make sure you put that
faith in all things. And i know that our father in heaven will be there to
strengthen us and help us at all time. I am greatful for a loving heavenly
father who is willing to support me through all my troubles and low times i am
greatful for my davior who is there to lift me at all times.
"The
feeling of love from our Heavenly Father is like a gravitational pull from
heaven. As we remove the distractions that pull us toward the world and
exercise our agency to seek Him, we open our hearts to a celestial force which
draws us toward Him."
"Heavenly
father is aware of us, he knows that sometimes we need to hear words that have
not been said. He has put the authority on the speak and act in his name
through the gift of the priesthood. It is through this gift that we are able to
have the ordinances that will allow us to return to our Heavenly Father, and it
is also through this gift that we are able to be comforted and healed. Those
who hold the priesthood have the ability to speak directly in Heavenly Fathers
name to provide comforting words to those in need."
I
love these two quotes let us not forget the priesthood which has the power to
provide comfort to us.
I
hopw my das and my grandpa and all the dads i know have had a wonderful fathers
day , i am greatful for your loving examples to me thank you for the way you
hold your priesthood and how much you teach me to become a better son and a
better missionary. I hope my heavenly father know how greatful i am for him as
a father, i know that he has always been there for me, he knows me , and he
loves me. I love him and i am greatful that he is my father. Happy fathers day.
I
love you all so much i am greatful i get this opportunity to write you and
share with you some missionary expereince. i wish i could tell you all how
thankful i am for you and your support, i hope you have a great week and know i
