I Love The Gospel!

All right, story time! So this week after a lot of fellowshipping we invited a sister in the branch to join on a zoom lesson with our friend getting baptized soon. We helped her prepare and feel ready to teach with us before and from the get-go, she was right there for our friend, helping answer her questions, offer support, and showing genuine love. The Spirit guided the lesson and the sister had the opportunity to share her personal experiences that really connected and brought authenticity and feeling. The lesson was amazing, but the real miracle took place after. We called our member friend and asked her how she was feeling. In tears, she said "You have no idea how much that meant to me. I felt the Spirit of missionary work and again tonight for the first time in so long and I'm here to help with whatever you need going forward. Thank you so much, you made my night." I can't explain how much the work elevates with the added support and testimony a converted member brings.


I love the way the Lord brings together normal people like you and me and allows us to participate in His work of salvation and happiness. I love how as we focus on the needs of others, we in turn are each blessed with the Spirit and the Savior's love for those around us. I love Jesus Christ and His gospel. He lives and loves us. And He wants more than anything to help us and lift us to become like Him. 


If you had the opportunity to watch general conference and hear a prophet speak, I invite you to act today on the invitations you heard! If you haven't watched it, please take some time and watch! It will bring peace and new direction to your life, no matter what situation you are in right now. Here's the link if you are willing to watch:

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...
