Hi momma and pappa!
How are you?? This week was kind of slow with not having too
many lessons, and just trying to proselyte on the street, its hard trying to
find people who want to hear our message in this area because everywhere we
look there’s so many churches. And everyone is kind of tired of people trying
to get people to come to their church. But our message is different!! We have
the Book of Mormon, Revelation! But people think we’re crazy, which we are.
Crazy with love for others! At first it wasn’t too hard trying to talk to
people because I didn’t really know what they were saying, I just said
all that I knew and thought they liked what I said... but now that I’m kind of
understanding, ahh its so discouraging. These people are very straight forward
with their thoughts and aren’t afraid to say it!! But my companion is very
sweet and keeps me motivated to not give up. We can’t get discouraged even
though one person rejected us because there are so many others that want to
hear what we have to say!
We were teaching a girl named Hana and we were
talking about faith and I shared a scripture in Ether and we talked about
what it meant or how she felt about it. I started saying, "when we have
faith".. and she replied, "then we see". When she said that, it
was just so simple and so profound. I don’t
know maybe I’m just weird but it totally is true. I thought of the story of the
Brother of Jared and how he had faith that the Lord could make the stones
bright and because he had that faith, he SAW. I loved that. When we have faith,
we see. When we trust in the Lord and have faith, we see what He needs us to do;
he shows us the path we need to take. As a missionary he puts in my mind what I
need to say, where I need to go, he shows me so many things in so many ways. It’s a blessing and its all about our faith
and putting trust in our faith, knowing that he will show us what we need to
see. I was reading this morning Wilford Woodruffs divine book and it talks
about reading the scriptures with the same spirit that was used to write them
or create them. I’m trying to be better at studying the scriptures better so
that I can have that same spirit so when I read and study, the Lord will show
me what I need to learn and ponder about and understand. It’s a process...but I’m working at it :))
love you
