This has been such a crazy and exhausting week. Exhausting in a wonderful way!
This
week we were able to teach one of Marcia's friends! It was such a cool
experience! She has so many questions and is so curious about the
gospel. It is so fun teaching people who have so many questions. I
always love it when we commit someone to read the Book of Mormon and
pray about it. The Book of Mormon is so powerful. Reading has really
helped me to understand the true nature of God.
We
were also able to teach another girl we're working with about faith.
She's had such a hard past she has a hard time trusting God. But as we
taught her, her heart opened up and she said she wanted to learn to
trust God. As we were walking out of the lesson she asked me what made
me always be in such a good mood. I told her it was the gospel and asked
her what made her happy. She said she wasn't happy because of what
happened in her past. I told her that it is only through the gospel that
she can leave that behind and become truly happy. I know that's true.
It is only through Jesus Christ that we can find relief from the burden
of past trials and mistakes.
We also had stake
conference this weekend. Elder Hallstrom came! It was one of the best
stake conferences I've ever been to. They talked a lot about
consecration. In Mosiah 2:34 it says "I say unto you, that there are not
any among you, except it be your little children that have not been
taught concerning these things, but what knoweth that ye are eternally
indebted to your heavenly Father, to render to him all that you have and
are" I love that scripture because we are able to give heavenly Father
all that we have and are out of a deep gratitude and love for Him.
Serving God should be our first priority. True happiness comes as we
turn our hearts to God.
I have found true happiness as I've been able to serve as a missionary! We saw so many miracles this week, as we do everyday!
Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing week!
