Heyyyyy!! Weeks really do just go by faster and faster out here!
This week was just so awwwwww !!! I LOVE MISSIONS
So I have learned more out here than ever that the Gospel blesses families. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so SIMPLE. It may not and will not be EASY, but always will be and always has been SIMPLE. We are taught to have FAITH, REPENT, BE BAPTIZED, RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST & ENDURE TO THE END. That's it! 5 SIMPLE principles the Lord taught by example and expects we'll follow in Faith.
It's almost a daily occurrence that we will knock on someone's door and we meet someone that is having a rough home life and unstable situation. Now we aren't superheroes that can magically fix their life trials. What would that teach them anyways? We as missionaries simply offer the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by inviting people to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
I have truly taken for granted I think every day of my life the true privilege it is to have the Gospel in my life. To be a missionary is even more special in my life. To have the opportunity each and every minute of each and every day to share the Gospel is the greatest blessing anyone could desire.
As the individuals we meet with listen to the messages we share and accept the invitations we extend to them, we literally see their lives become less chaotic, less stressful, more organized. They get relief. They feel loved and then show love. There is no greater feeling than to watch someone you've met feel the love that the Savior Jesus Christ has for them. It is so precious.
Well like usual I'm all over the place with my emails but crazy tender mercy!! :
I was sitting in sacrament meeting today and in walks Brother Benion!! He was the session director to the EFY that changed my life! Apparently he's in my ward and I haven't connected the dots until today! I got to talk with him after church and we reunited and he remembered me and it was pretty dope such a small world and everything happens for a reason! One of my life goals has been to be given the opportunity to be a session director at an EFY so it was cool to see him and it gave me hope and motivation to continue doing what I need to to get on that path.
Well hey thanks for reading! I love you! I miss you! I love you again! I'm so thankful for you! I feel like I learn a lot as I write these weekly emails and I wouldn't write them if it weren't for y'all so thank you
If you missed the first email (my mom had my address and info if you want anything ask her )
I INVITE YOU ALL TO SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE WITH ONE PERSON THIS WEEK! Not even gospel related, anything!! Share with someone the things that make you happy!
PEACE OUT!
