Um it's almost Christmas...haha what the.
We had such a good week.
I'm grateful for Heavenly Father
allowing me to struggle and feel alittle inadequate because it always helps
remind me to turn to him.
That's how I would sum up this past
week.
Fast Sunday's are always just what I
need. I was also fasting for things I can be doing more or better at. I had the
thought to really study and dive into Christ's life and get to really know Him
better, I felt like I strayed abit and got caught up in other gospel
principles. During relief society the lesson was ALL about christ and how we can
better know Him. I was like whoa! Perfect, thanks Heavenly Father for helping me
get started.
Sister Bennett is seriously the best. I
hope we will be together for her last transfer.
We taught for zone training about
spiritual gifts and our hearts. It was awesome. Spirit was strong and a lot of
the missionaries came up afterwards and thanked us a lot for it.
We have all been blessed with spiritual
gifts!
Here's a tid bit of what we
shared.
"Let us review some of these less-conspicuous gifts: the gift of asking;
the gift of listening; the gift of hearing and using a still, small voice; the
gift of being able to weep; the gift of avoiding contention; the gift of being
agreeable; the gift of avoiding vain repetition; the gift of seeking that which
is righteous; the gift of not passing judgment; the gift of looking to God for
guidance; the gift of being a disciple; the gift of caring for others; the gift
of being able to ponder; the gift of offering prayer; the gift of bearing a
mighty testimony; and the gift of receiving the Holy Ghost"
The unexamined life is not worth living” (“Apology,” The Dialogues of
Plato, trans. Benjamin Jowett, Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1952, p. 210).
It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has
given us" (Marvin j Ashton)
A prerequisite for seeking after the gifts of the spirit may require that
we find out which gifts we already have been given."
Read your patriarchal blessing and
identify your spiritual gifts you already have and seek more!
Sis Bennett came up with this goal of
inviting seriously 100 people to be baptized this week. About 15 everyday.
At first I was like.....uhhhh okay. But
The more she kept talking about it the more excited I got and was able to feel
the spirit.
Today is our first day,
it's our preparation day and barely 3pm and we already shared alittle
about the restoration and invited 4 people to be baptized!!
It's amazing what happens when you're
desperate president.
One last thing, my zone leaders in my
last area promised us that if we were to bare our testimony about Jesus Christ,
we'd find a family to teach. I love "He is the Gift" so much because it is a
good reminder to do so. And as we have done that and talked to a lot of people,
sister Bennett and I have been able to find 2 families! Work is picking up. I am
grateful for the
"he is the gift" many miracles around
the world in every mission are happening I bet. We're seeing them later
today!
Read this talk of you have time...saved
and changed my life.
