I don't have much time so I'll be quick,
This week was great! We had zone conference on Wednesday (and the mission nurse has put me on a strict at home vegan diet [except not so strict that I can't eat meat so it's not really thst vegan I just can't eat any dairy even if it's lactose free] which I have yet to do because the struggle of giving up cheese is real).
On Saturday we met with Richard and it was so cool! The family Kamm was there and we talked about the Book of Mormon, and how if we pray about it we can know if it's true. Like actually know, not just have a hunch or a wish that it's true, but really truly know. We also talked about how if the Book of Mormon is true then so is anything else. It was so clear to see his desire to really know, he even asked how he should pray, standing, sitting kneeling, when we explained the respect we show God when we kneel he demonstrated to make sure he was kneeling correctly and asked if he was allowed to kneel on a chair or bed or something. The thing is, what matters is where our heart is and our intents, when we really want to know and we plan to do something about our answer- then we will get an answer no matter what position our body is in...standing, sitting, or kneeling. But when we kneel, it shows even more respect to God. When we find out the Book of Mormon is true, our lives change, for the better. The Book of Mormon has the power to make everything better, to help us make better decisions, to be happier, to know what to do, it has so much power we just have to give it the chance to..
Sunday, Deyanira came to church! She is so excited about the gospel and she shared her desire to be baptized in relief society. She expressed how after visiting and investigating 18 different churches she is grateful to have finally found the truth, and to have known after meeting with us just a few times. I have so much love for Deyanira and I am so grateful that I am able to help her discover the truth and find true lasting peace and happiness. ♡
Today we were able to go to the temple for pday! I thought when I went in November that would be the last time, but we went today and I was filled with so much peace and just happiness and wholeness to have the gospel. The fullness of the gospel brings a fullness of joy. It's such a blessing to have the gospel, and it's a blessing to share it and see it help others.
Elder Robert D Hales : “The Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans, ‘Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God’ [Romans 10:17]. … The first step to finding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is to let His word—spoken by the mouth of His servants, the prophets—touch your heart. But it is not enough merely to let those words wash over you, as if they alone could transform you. We must do our part. Or as the Savior Himself said, ‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear’ [Matthew 11:15]. In other words, hearing requires an active effort. … It means taking seriously what is taught, considering it carefully, studying it out in our minds. As the prophet Enos learned, it means letting others’ testimonies of the gospel ‘[sink] deep into [our] heart[s]’ [Enos 1:3]”
Conference was last week, but now everything is online and available to watch again or for the first time. If you want to find (Or strengthen) your faith, the first step is to let His word into your heart. ♡ (find His words online @ lds.org or in the Book of Mormon)
I love you all, have a wonderful week!
