HEY HEY HEY!
Soo….This week I learned A LOT and we had some VERY cool things
happen.
First off Sister Rhodes is doing SO WELL. This week she was able
to get a priesthood blessing for her back which was insane because for weeks
she just wouldn't take the step, but she did and it was incredible to see the
power of God bless her! It just looked like a weight was lifted off of her
shoulders. We have had some incredible lessons with her and she knows that the
Book of Mormon is true because she has continued to put the work in to know! We
are praying so hard that she will find the strength to commit to a baptism
date. As we were at her home with the Wilkinson's they shared with her that she
needed to focus on her testimony. It reminded me that unless our faith in
Christ is continually strengthened it is impossible to continually do hard
things! She was sick for church yesterday morning, but last night we had a
fireside. The Elders said that when she walked in she told them that she fought
to be there last night. As she left her smile stretched from ear to ear. IT WAS
THE BIGGEST SMILE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I was so joyful to see her so happy because
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Another Miracle: Sister Campbell came to the broadcast on
Saturday for all the women of our church. The whole time her face was fixed
strictly on that screen and she was listening so intently I could have blown a
horn in her ear and she wouldn't have been able to hear me. At the end we were
asking her how it was and she told us the she felt like the talks were just for
her. THE SPIRIT IS SO COOL. We are so blessed to have God's mouth pieces here
on the earth today to lead and guide us and give us his word: it is so sweet!
We see success as we are obedient. I felt discouraged this week
at times when I felt that I wasn't perfect, but I stepped back and remembered
that the Lord just asks us to give our all and if we look for all of the
imperfections in that we will find them. I am hard on myself. Harder than I
should be at times. It is a struggle to find that balance, but I know I will!
The good thing is, I am really good at knowing what I desire to become better
at and I am learning how to plan to reach those goals.
We felt like we should be praying for media referrals. We did.
We got one a few days later. Sometimes it is just a matter of asking haha!
Well, I LOVE MY CALLING. I hope you can see my
smile through this screen as I say it.
SOOO CONFERENCE IS COMING UP!
My challenge this week is simple: BEcome a "with your
heart" listener! I feel that there is no better place to be this next
weekend than with Jesus Christ as he speaks to us through his beloved prophets,
apostles, and other church leaders! HE LOVES US AND STILL SPEAKS TO US. I know
if we listen not just with our hearts, but with our ears: HE WILL ANSWER.
