Isn't life just great? It's good to hear things are well in Colorado :) I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family!
Those
of you who have read the Book of Mormon are probably familiar with the
fact that the Book of Mormon is full of a lot of war. In one of my
favorite parts of the Book of Mormon (...ok it's all my favorite)
Captain Moroni (a prophet and captain of the army) is describing the
reason they have success in war. He attributes it to God and the gospel
of Jesus Christ. In expressing his feelings for the gospel he says one
sentence that has been echoing through my mind as of late. He says "to
which we own all our happiness" (Alma 44:5)
The
other day Sister Crane asked me "who would you be if you weren't a
member of the church?" That thought causes me to shudder. I truly do owe
ALL my happiness, everything I am, to Jesus Christ and His gospel. I
cannot adequately express my gratitude for this church. The gospel is a
gospel of happiness and I know that only in living by the words of Jesus
Christ can we find the pure and everlasting happiness that everyone is
searching for.
This has been another wonderful
week in Canada! I am so grateful for my mission and the experiences I've
had already! God truly does love all His children.
We
were blessed with the opportunity to listen to the Woman's broadcast of
General Conference the other day! It was SO GOOD! If you haven't had
the opportunity to watch it go back and watch it! Even if you're a man!
It was incredible and just what I needed to hear!
The
other day in the mall I ran into 3 deaf people! I can't even tell you
how excited I was!!! I was so flabbergasted though that I was only able
to have a quick conversation with them. But it was still cool! I love
ASL!! Heavenly Father is so merciful to allow me to have such cool
experiences!
Another cool thing happened the
other day too. Sister Crane and I were kind of down about something and
we were walking sadly home. Then we ran into this random man on the
street and he just walked right up to us and was so kind! He wasn't a
member of the church but he just wanted to talk to us. He had just come
from the dollar store where he had purchased a couple of candy bars. He
insisted that we take them. It was really random, but it was just a
witness to me that Heavenly Father is in the details of the details of
the details of our lives!
General Conference
is this weekend!!!!! YAY!!!! I CAN"T WAIT!!!! Everyone, go and watch it!
It's an opportunity to hear form God's prophets! The people He has
called to speak for Him!! Is there anything more amazing on the earth
than that!? Just go and listen to it! I can promise you without a sliver
of a doubt that if you go and watch General Conference, you will have
your questions answered. You will feel God speak to you. So just go and
do it!
Being a missionary is so great! I am so blessed!
Have a great week everybody!
