My favorites!
I love teaching the Lord's gospel, the Lord's way!
Sister Zaugg and I have been working our little tails off to find people to
teach(: And we see miracle after miracle while doing it.
-The other day we were trying some people on a very
long country road. No one was home. We felt that we needed to go to the end of
the street and know the last door. When we got to the very end of the street,
there was a house, but we couldn't get to it. We decided to knock the first
house we could get to. When we did, the cutest 90-year-old man answered the
door. He has read the book of Mormon and understands so much of
the gospel! He was receptive(:
We are teaching a Hindu man! AHHH. Can I tell you
how much I have enjoyed this? He is one of my favorite people to teach. Sarad
has prayed four times….and I swear his smile gets bigger EVERY time he prays.
He says that Jesus Christ helps him see the purpose with a being who has power.
God gave us Christ. Christ is here for us. He suffered for us, because he loves
us. The ultimate motive is love and that just makes
sense.
WE are teaching a Filipino family and it is a fight,
but it is worth it. Satan knows how open this family is and he is not going
down without a fight, but the Lord gives us so much strength and guidance to
have just the right amount of persistence. PLEASE pray they can
make it to church this week. We need a miracle. (: I wanted to find a family in
this area. I strongly believe this is the family I had a desire to find. I LOVE
THEM.
I was thinking about this area a lot this week. I
needed to be sent HERE at THIS TIME with THESE PEOPLE for so many reasons. I
have no idea where I would be without my service here in the Cotton Hill ward.
I have learned to not waste one second in fearing what is ahead, or
what we have been given. God knows us, he knows why we are where we are. If we
have a good attitude and seek to know why too, he will be happy to
show us (:
This is
something one of my favorite members shared in a talk on Sunday from Al Fox Carraway so I asked her to
forward it to me: enjoy (:
"I
know I don’t want something if God doesn’t want it for me—yet, how many prayers
I’ve spent asking Heavenly Father to just tell
me what He wants me to do so I can do it and still feel like I’m
going in circles. Do you know how much time I’ve spent wasting
and waiting and worrying, feeling stuck because I felt like I
couldn’t
understand a clear answer with what to do? And the more time I spent thinking
about one decision over the other— battling with thoughts and fears and
blessings on each choice—the more confused I became and the harder it
got.
God
doesn’t always tell us what is right.
But
it is a promise to us from Him that He will always tell us
what is not right. (If we follow and listen is a different
story)
This is
my secret weapon to decision making:
Instead
of going in circles of what to decide and causing stress and anxiety and
passing time, I just pick. I just pick something and move forward with
it. Then, pray and tell Him what you decided. Tell Him if it’s wrong to
stop you. That’s it.
Too simple? Maybe. But it works.every.time."
I love my
calling!!! BEST TIME EVER (:
