Howdy y’all! Another week is in the bag! Time just keeps moving, it’s already week 6 of the transfer! We were blessed to see miracles in the work this week, and the Lord’s hand was definitely active in the work.
We went on exchanges this week and I was privileged to be with Elder Owens, a fellow MTC District member, and we had a blast! We were able to meet an awesome family of 5 that was taught by missionaries before, but then lost contact. They are such a fun family and love having us come over and teach their kids! I played basketball with some of the kids while the others and their friends tried to sword fight Elder Owens with plastic swords. Haha all in all they loved us coming over and wanted us to come back!
We were also able to set two more of our investigators to be baptized in November! Their names are Rayne and Sarai. They’re really cool and humble kids that want to learn more and build t their relationship with God.
All of our other investigators with dates are progressing very well! We had a great week with most of them, and things are looking up to have a great November!
For my spiritual thought this week, I wanted to share a scripture that I came across this week. It is a very common scripture, but it really stuck out to me. It comes from the Book of Mormon in Ether 12:27. It reads;
“27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.”
As a missionary, you feel like there’s an endless list of things you can improve on, which there is. The Lord helps us learn and grow on our mission, and in life. As I have seen my many weaknesses start to surface, I have learned that turning to the Lord for help and strength makes is SO much easier to work through the weaknesses than by my own strength. The Lord has shown us our weaknesses, and has promised that if we humbly turn to Him, He will make our weaknesses become strengths. This is all because of Jesus Christ and the Atonement which He performed. Through Him, we can become stronger, and we can be an instrument in God’s hands to lift up those around us and bring them the joys of the gospel. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Have a wonderful week y’all! Until next week! God speed!
