So....I am at MCDONALDS right now! Hahaha on my iPad. Yay for free Micky
D's wifi:)
#MissionaryLife
Gotta love it.
D&C 88&73 is such a cool scripture. The Lord is really hastening
his work! Evidence of the age change and being able to use Facebook, and now
iPads to help hasten the work in these areas.
We love using them:) we've shown a lot of Mormon messages in the middle of
our lessons on our iPads! It's so sweet:) we've been sharing the Mormon message
called "daughters of god" with some of the sisters here, and it's such a
powerful video and makes me feel good about myself haha so if you've never seen
it before you should watch it! It's really good and gets you pumped!
So D&C 4 is the famous missionary section in D&C...but D&C 6 is
(in my opinion) WAY 10x better than section 4. Verse 13 struck me hard. "There
is no greater gift than the gift of salvation"
As missionaries our whole purpose is to invite others to come into Christ
and to help them gain their salvation. There is no greater gift than that, and
that's pretty cool to be apart of that for people :) yay for missionary work!
Haha
K so I'm like so done with the snow! Haha like seriously...it's ridiculous
and needs to stop! We have so much snow here...and the city doesn't even know
where to put it all! I've seen cars completely buried under the snow!! Haha
pretty intense..I'll send pics next week of it.
Happy late valentines day:)
Valentines day as a sister missionary is pretty exciting.....no cute boys
for me! Hahahaha..
This transfer is going by so fast..which is really sad because my time
being comps with sister steadman is dwindling! She will probably get transferred
because she's been here for 6 months!
We are still trying to find people to teach.
"If you want to teach more people..talk to more people!"
That's what we've been doing recently! Just talking to everyone we see
about the gospel and how it can bless there lives.
We went and visited sister hall a less active member. She was really
distraught and flustered because of some things that went wrong that day for
her. We came over and sang hymn 193 I stand all amazed. Almost immediately you
could notice a change in her. That's one of my favorite things about singing
hymns for people. It causes a SPIRITUAL DROP!
..kinda like a bass drop in dub-step music..haha but in spirit form:)
hahaha I crack myself up...my district leader in my last area came up with that.
Genius huh? I like to think so....Lolz.
Singing hymns is such a great way to invite the spirit into the homes of
the people here, it's one of my favorite things to do. The spirit comes so
strong! And sister hall could definitely feel it and was her feelings of
frustration were replaced with peace! The spirit works wonders for people
:)
Recently I've been studying how I can better represent my savior Jesus
Christ everyday.
----> reverence!
Me and sister steadman have a lot of fun together...hahaha which is good!(:
But I am trying to be more reverent in my calling and purpose..in everything! My
thoughts, my actions, my behavior...etc.
I found a lot of good talks about it and I want to try to be better at
that:)
Sundays are always the best days.
We had a really neat experience with Kelly!
We were talking about patriarchal blessings. It was really good and
definitely guided by the spirit. She started opening up to us and telling us how
alone she felt and that she's angry and frustrated with a lot of things. She
shared with us this as she was crying, and immediately the talk called "cast not
away therefore your confidence" by Jeffery r holland popped into my mind.
Because it talks a lot about how satan tries really hard right before and after
we make a really good spiritual decision. So we read a little bit of that talk
with her.
Before Joseph smith had the first vision and saw Jesus Christ and Heavenly
Father, satan tried to overpower him. After Moses saw and talked with god face
to fave, satan came and tried to have Moses worship him. And with Kelly right
after her baptism satan is trying to weaken her faith and testimony. But
Heavenly Father knows this. "I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater
than the cunning" (D&C 10:43)
Which is really comforting! Because we know how to fight back against
satan.
Doing the simple things everyday...praying, and reading scriptures. So
simple! Yet sometimes difficult to do. I think the most important thing to do in
those types so situations is to be confident and faithful! Don't look back and
keep moving forward.
Once we loose our confidence and faith in Christ..it's pretty easy to
fall.
Have a good week everyone!
I love you(:
Love sistermanson
