This week was so wonderful! Being back in Independence just makes every day so good! And serving the Lord of course ;)
Here are the highlights:
- I got to go to my first sacrament in Independence 1st ward, and they had me speak! It was a really great experience and it helped me get to know all of the wonderful members.
- We had an AMAZING
lesson! So we were teaching our investigator who is on date a pretty
hard lesson... the law of chastity.... So we taught it to her and then
she just went silent. I was praying so hard during those moments as we
were waiting for her to speak. Then the spirit told me to read her a few
paragraphs from The Family, A Proclamation to the World. So I did and
then after a few minutes she said that makes sense and that she wants a
family like that and she will live the law of chastity. The spirit is
AMAZING! And truly takes over as we rely on Christ.
Equally Yoked Companions :)
- We got to go to the temple today! That was honestly one of the best parts of this week. Being a last transfer missionary is pretty hard but the temple is so healing and peaceful and I could truly feel Christ's love. I am so grateful for temples and sweet members who take us!
- We had so many miracles tracting this week! We ran into a family who has
had missionaries come over a lot in the past so we got to teach them!
And we knocked into a woman who let us right in and we shared a message
with her and she loved it and told us to come back the next day!
Independence is wonderful!
The Elders saw us walking so they gave us Frosties!
- Another reason why Independence
is the best. I serve at the Independence Visitors' Center. I have taken
some seriously powerful tours recently. I love giving tours there
because the Spirit is already there, we just have to personalize it to
the guests to help them receive the spiritual nourishment they need.
- Also, my friends from Inde 3rd ward keep visiting me because I'm so close! It is a dream come true!

Okay,
spiritual thought for the week. A member took us to an Asian restaurant
today and my fortune cookie said "Courage comes from suffering"....
but lets talk about it
As
we suffer aka go through hard things we have a few choices. We can turn
to the Lord and find strength (courage) and peace or we can turn to the
world and find chaos and temporary happiness. True joy and courage
never came from the world, it has always come from our Savior Jesus
Christ. This week some one said something to me that was very powerful.
They said, Jesus Christ suffered for exactly what you are going through
right now. Jesus Christ's atonement reaches EVERYTHING we go through. It
reaches exactly what you are going through in this moment. Big or
small. As we turn to Him we find the courage and peace we need.
so yes fortune cookie, Courage does come from suffering (as we turn to the Savior)
I love you all! Have a great week!
