Wow
what a great spiritual week its has been!!!!! I hope you all
have had a great week please always remember how much I love you and your
father in heaven loves you. Its always hard to email after an amazing spiritual
general conference.
But
Ill start off this email by sharing with you some of the things I have learned
that will change my life forever. One of them was about the priniciple of
becoming I have come to love this principle. I know that my mission is not
centered on me but I know that its helping others know what they can become. I
love President Monson shared in preisthood session about the missionary
who saw alot of success on his mission and one of the general authorities asked
him how did you do it? and he said I saw everyone as our father in heaven sees
them In white!! . I loved the quote by Elder Osguthrope " to be converted
requires us to do and to become. " I pray that we will se others
as what heavenly fathers sees them as I know that this is merely how christ
works through us to help other people.
So
This week has been kinda slow but full of amazing wonderful Expereinces, we
were able to meet with one of our investigators yesterday and have an amazing
lesson!! It was impossible to not feel the spirit it was absolutley amazing!!
We were sad that he didnt come to conference but it was just an amazing lesson.
Before I even got done extending the invite he said ya of course haha it was
awesome. We read alma chapter 36 which describes alma's conversion story. . I
have come to love the scripture Alma 36:27
And
I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all
manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds,
and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver
me.
this
week were able to visit with one of our members and as you know we replaced
sisters when we got here and this member told us you got some big shoes to
fill. But we were visting with these members this week and they said you all
dont even know how much you have helped us with the spirit you carry. It
blesses our home and we have made so many changes since you all got here that
have helped our family draw so much closer to the lord, I came to know that my
mission is more that just maybe reaching out to investigators and less- actives
but we are really called to bless members lives as well. This week has been
absolutely amazing and I have loved these sweet feelings of the spirit so much.
I
