This has been an incredible week!! COBY GOT
BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo happy and excited for him!!!! It's
amazing to think that just a couple of months ago sister Robison and I
ran into him on the streets of Langley on the day we didn't have a car.
God's plans are WAY BETTER than mine!! That's for sure!!!
The
font here in Langley was broken so we had to go all the way to Maple
Ridge for the baptism! It turned out to be an amazing service! It was
especially amazing to see the difference in Coby after he got the gift
of the Holy Ghost! The best thing in the world about being a missionary
is watching someone grow in the gospel.
This
Sunday all of us missionaries were asked to speak! It was an amazing
experience because one thing I've been working on is teaching by the
spirit so I decided to not write my talk out this time. Instead I just
studied a lot and prepared a few scriptures. When I got on the stand I
didn't know exactly what I was going to say, but I felt the spirit so
strongly. It was a pretty amazing experience. All the other missionaries
who spoke also had such strong testimonies. I felt the spirit so strong
that sacrament meeting. One thing our branch President said after we
spoke was about how amazed he was that God would send such young people
to proclaim the gospel. He said "God sends weak things to confound the
wise so weak things can become strong." That really struck me. It's so
true that God can make weak things become strong. One of the themes of
my mission has been the scripture in Ether 12:27. If we humble ourselves
before God, He can make us strong even though we are weak.
I've
learned lately that if we truly understand the gospel, there would be
no need to be worried or stressed. Because of Jesus Christ everything
will always be ok. One thing that has been echoing in my mind has been
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Have a wonderful week!
