I hope you are all doing well! I know life is crazy and busy and it may seem like you have NO TIME but try to take moments to just pause and see the good around you! I promise you that if you will take moments like this, God will show you the good and you will see His hand in your life!
I've had several moments this week where I have just paused and in my mind I just realize how much JOY I have RIGHT NOW and in EVERY moment :)
In our last District Council we shared our conversion stories and it was really cool to take a moment and think back on all the times I have had really small faith confirming experiences that have strengthened my belief to what it is today. I highly recommend thinking back on your own experiences that have been powerful in your testimony!
During one of our lessons this week teaching the Plan of Salvation, at one point I just paused and it hit me so hard how much God loves ALL of His children ALL OVER THE WORLD! And He understands them ALL and their very individual and specific needs! That is amazing and so comforting!!
Another kind of cool experience happened in church on Sunday. At the end of our testimony meeting, a person got up and started talking about some of the crazy things that are happening in St. Paul right now (which we as missionaries have no idea about haha), but I remember feeling really scared in that moment... Then he talked about how he is so grateful that we can come to church as a safe place and that we can feel PEACE! And I remember as he said the word peace I just felt like I was wrapped in a little blanket of comfort! I KNOW this is a gospel of Peace and Joy and that God and Jesus Christ are with us and guiding this church! :)
Other exciting news: HSA SOE GOT BAPTIZED! It was such a good day! He was so happy and we were so happy for him!
I love you all a lot! I love this gospel so much! EVERYONE needs the opportunity to at least hear about it so SHARE IT! Share the "GOOD NEWS" because that is what it is! It brings so much joy and changes lives and people are SEARCHING for it! They just need YOU to share it with them! I know God will bless you in your efforts! Take courage and be strong!
