Make Love The Foundation

What a week! Some of the highlights:


-Traveled to a city called Cetinje and met with this Orthodox priest and his wife, they were so cool and shared their experiences searching (and still searching) for the true faith. We had a powerful discussion on the Holy Ghost and we all felt it touch our hearts as we prayed at the end.


-Went on a hike with one of our friends from Bolivia and had a great talk about marriage and eternal families! I love teaching this truth and seeing the peace and hope it brings to stressful situations and decisions in the lives of others.


-Had a tender mercy as a former investigator (met with the first missionaries here Montenegeo years ago) ran into us on the street and needed a blessing that day! We went to the church and blessed him to receive comfort and follow the promptings of the Spirit and afterwards he asked if we would teach him all the lessons again starting this week! 


Spiritual thought:
I have always liked the principle of sharing the gospel by just living our lives. Simply living the truths we know and sharing the joy we feel because we love God and our brothers and sisters around us. Your daily life is such a powerful testimony to those around you, and if you are trying to live like Christ did you will bring others to Him as well. "Love ought to be the foundation of everything we do." There is so much truth to that statement. Choose to obey because you love God. Choose to serve because you love others. And choose to change because you love yourself and your Savior. Find a way to make love that foundation of your life each day! Life will become so much sweeter and full of joy as we do so.

Simple Truths

Image
Bit of a crazy week, we got COVID and are on the up but we saw lots of miracles even from inside our century-old apartment! We got tons of Facebook referalls the past few days and nearly all of them were so open and honest about wanting to learn about their Heavenly Father and what His plan is for them. Just such genuine, prepared people. As a missionary, you can go for a while looking just about everywhere for those kind of people but to no avail. So to have THEM look for US is such a miracle in and of itself!  As we taught these people, I gained a new appreciation for the simple truths of the gospel. I love how simple and pure it all is. Just the truth that God lives and loves you is life-changing! When someone really believes that and chooses to reach out to God, miracles happen! They find the peace they are searching for and strength to overcome anything they are faced with. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribul...

Worshipping God

Image
We talked this Sunday at church about worshipping God and the first question that came to my mind was, "What does my worship look like?"  When I think of the word "worship", the first thing I picture is kneeling, singing, or praying. Yes, those are all parts of worship! But as I studied the Book of Mormon this week, I found a verse that broadened my perspective, Mosiah 4:19 reads, "For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have?"  Thinking about these words led me to two important gospel truths: 1.)We are all children of our Heavenly Father. 2.) We show God we love Him as we serve one another. (In other words, we worship God through serving His children) So this week as I went about my missionary work, it wasn't just teaching a lesson or calling through phone numbers or trying to start conversations on the street. In each of my everyday activities, I saw opportunities to worsh...

Weakness

To be perfectly honest, these past few weeks have been a lot; our mission-wide conference with Elder and Sister Kopischke, planning transfers, meetings, conducting trainings, helping the group of new missionaries arrive and get settled, and of course finding and teaching! But I love it all! Sure, there were a lot of stressful, sleepless nights and last-second change of plans but God came through as He always does and everything worked out. And we are praying for, expecting, and seeing MIRACLES in our companionship and as a mission. There is a real new momentum in the work and in each missionary here and we all feel it! It's so exciting! There's been a few distinct times on my mission where I've seen God's hand the clearest. Each of those periods was marked with being placed in an uncomfortable situation and a feeling of hopelessness in my ability to succeed. I love how this verse in Ether identifies and describes these moments. "And if men come unto me, I will show...
