Hello
my dear sweet family!
How is everyone doing? It sounded like stake conference was
awesome! I don’t know when we have ours but I am really looking forward to
general conference in about a month and a half... That will be cool! That is
such a bummer about Josh! I totally knew him and I cannot believe that he might
not be able to walk! :( But I know that the lord has a plan... and some people
can handle those big challenges better than some of us other people. I am for
sure going to be praying for him! So you guys asked for more pictures of the
people we are teaching... one of them is Torrence and we got a picture with him
this Sunday because he finally was found worthy to receive the Aaronic
priesthood!!!!!
My
week was good. Just a normal week in the life of a missionary... except it
actually rained and I was out playing in it... just because it was awesome. Then
it rained last night too and that was awesome! Oh my goodness... but it
has been very hot and it doesn’t cool down until end of October... so pray for
us that we may be able to acclimate to it! Ha-ha!
Well,
I think the only thing noteworthy from this week was interviews and that we had
a choir performance (the annual one) and also we taught part of a seminary
class so that was really fun!
But
interviews was really good! I think I really needed it. I was starting to feel
burdened down and stressed, and President Nattress reminded me that I was of
worth and that I was here for a reason and that I was pure. It meant a lot to
me. I love our mission president! He is definitely inspired and I know he was
called here for me and for all the other missionaries here.
We
were challenged by our DL (District leader) to read our Patriarchal Blessing
every morning in studies for the next week and it was an amazing experience. The
more I read it the more I understand and learn. The more that I am able to receive
revelation for myself. If I (we) am
(are) faithful then we will receive of the blessings that he has promised us. It’s
pretty cool.
You know you are a missionary in the Arizona Gilbert mission
when... you worry about members driving you out of the mission boundaries because
it’s so small...
Also
I have a scripture for the week, which I hope you guys are still reading ever
day! But it’s in the BOM in Alma 5:7 -- Let him change your hearts!
