No Effort Is Wasted

We had transfers and I'm still here in Zagreb but with Elder Poulson!! (Good friends from the MTC). He's awesome and it's always a good time serving together!


This week was full of new missionaries, workouts, planning, traveling, trainings, lessons, and a few special miracles. One of them for me was our friend, a less active member, coming to church on Sunday. We spent so much time last transfer trying to stay in touch with him, support him, and invite him but with no results. But the moment he walked into church on Sunday, all of it was worth it. He was just glowing and member after member came up and hugged him, telling him how much they missed him and loved him. He told me after how much each call, each message, each prayer meant to him. He said he would never have made it without each of those efforts.


I love the principle here that no effort is wasted. When we do our part, when we show our faith, the Lord will work His miracles in His time and in His way. It can be so hard to realize that in the moment when we can't see the results, but don't give up! Remember that God loves you and will always keep His promises. He will always be there for you if we allow Him to prevail in our lives!

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...
