Today's the old fashion shua ran out of time so here's my testimony and a spiritual thought
We have been meeting with this amazing individual that has been such a stud through all of our lessons. Being a missionary, there's a tendency to assume that we need to help prepare those we teach to gain a testimony and to learn how they can strengthen their testimony of the truthfulness of the messages we share. However with Z, it seems more of the time he's teaching me! He's strengthening my testimony
I love it so much! I admire more than anything, his desire to LIVE and LOVE as Our Savior does. We are taught in one of our missionary training manuals, 'Preach My Gospel', that there are "Christ-like Attributes". As I have had the opportunity to study each of these attributes, I have learned that they are not characteristics we can simply obtain over periods of time. They are not obtainable just through our own diligent efforts. They are not even necessarily earned over time. They ARE blessings & true gifts that the Lord ALLOWS us to utilize. As we truly gain a DESIRE to LIVE and LOVE as Our Savior does, and as we sincerely turn to our Father in Heaven with a willing heart, HE will then provide you with the opportunity to gain such a gift. The Lord will bless us with these gifts as we promise to utilize them as Our Savior Jesus Christ has used and uses them today. It's not about us and the attributes we simply strive to have. It is about the individual lives of those around us and how the Lord can USE each of us to bless those lives around us. The Lord will use us as instruments to be blessings to other people as we turn outward and become more selfless.
I love you all so much!! I love the support and the motivation each of you give me to push through the days that get rough. I hope you all have the most amazing week and if you ever have any gospel questions, religious questions, or any question at all about me or whatever feel free to shoot me an email throughout the week and I'll get back to you on the next Monday!

Humility
Diligence
