Yesterday was such a rewarding day. We had 11 Less Actives at
church! SO AMAZING! And guess who the sacrament speaker was. Hermana Mendoza!
It really was such a sweet experience for me (yes, involving some tears) to hear
my recent convert speak in sacrament. She is the only one I've ever been able
to watch. I just felt so proud and blessed to know such a wonderful
person.
Also the Elders passed us over a part member family that they had
been working with. Cynthia, the daughter, isn't a member. A few weeks ago she
said she wouldn't go to Girls camp, but we talked her into it and now she's
GOING!!!!! YES! I have full confidence it will change her life and she will get
baptized when she comes back!
Things are going really well. I love my companions; I am in a trio
still. We did exchanges this week. I just love helping people! It was really
beneficial.
Funniest Quote:
*One day, in my testimony, I used the word 'Dramastically', and
everybody laughed...I actually had no idea that wasn't a word.
* This morning Sister Frost read a scripture that talked about how
God stood in the 'midst' of his children (I think she was reading in Abraham),
and she went on to tell us how we were all standing in the 'mist' together.
Sister Jackson and I shared a secret chuckle! haha
Favorite Study Moment:
I just want to share something quick from my studies. It's from
True to the Faith:
"A testimony of the plan of salvation can give you hope and
purpose as you wrestle with the challenges of life. You can find reassurance in
the knowledge that you are a child of God and that you lived in His presence
before you were born on the earth. You can find meaning in your present life, knowing that your actions during mortality influence
your eternal destiny. With this knowledge, you can base important decisions on
eternal truths rather than on the changing circumstances of life. You can
continually improve your relationship with family members, rejoicing in the promise that your family can
be eternal. You can find joy in your testimony of the Atonement and the Lord’s
commandments, ordinances, covenants, and doctrines, knowing that “he who doeth
the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world,
and eternal life in the world to come.” (D&C 59:23)."
I love this gospel! It gives us our purpose. The path God has
shown us is made up of principles and covenants. If we follow HIS plan we will
be guided back home.
