Hello everyone! I hope you have all had an awesome week! This week for me was pretty amazing. We had the chance to meet with the Mission President this past Friday, President Cutler. He is such an inspired man! Every time we have a meeting and he gives a lesson he blows my mind and the Holy Ghost is so powerful! The interview was great, we talked about the work we are doing the people we are seeing and then he offered very specific counsel for a few individuals. My question for him was how we can better feel the Holy Ghost in our lives his answer was through humility. He talked about how God gives us hardships to break down our pride so we can rely on him, when we do this we rely constantly on the Holy Ghost. I learned that we must constantly pray to our Father in Heaven and when we do He will bless us with everything we need to succeed.
The past few weeks we have been very busy running around trying to talk to all of the people that have been on our lists, at times it is frustrating and hard when we spend so much time trying to talk to these people but no one is home/ they aren't interested/ try back again. At times it felt like it was time wasted, but we have seen so many blessings from diligently working. A member's mother who is not a member of the church whos name is M has been coming to church and has set up a time to have dinner with us at her daughters house so she can learn more. Another man is excited about reading the Book of Mormon and is at home all day long. Two other members have a friend who feels that she isn't satisfied with her church and wants to be more committed. I am so excited to see them grow in faith.
I was reading in Alma 2 and how the people were in a horrible battle with the lamanites and amlicites. But despite their hardships and fear, they remembered the Lord and prayed to be strengthened. The Lord heard their prayers and answered them and granted them strength to defend themselves and their families and their homes. The faith of these people is such and example to me. They prayed for strength to change their conditions, they didn't pray for their condition to change. When we pray for strength, we put our trust in the Lord and continue to do our part and God strengthens us. I take great comfort in knowing that I don't need to be a perfect teacher or be able to do everything perfectly on my own. I know that I have an all powerful God who will strengthen me to do His will.Hello everyone! I hope you have all had an awesome week! This week for me was pretty amazing.
