Howdy again!
What a tender week!
We had….
- Lunch with Korie
- A Zone blitz(all the missionaries in our zone went finding in two of our areas)
- Zone conference(which was so powerful! We got to present on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and it was incredible to study and prepare for it, we also learned a lot about humility and I am so grateful for that.)
- Interviews with President Sorensen:
- Zoom MLC pt.2: always good, and insightful. Standards 4.9.2 💅 #wegotchastised
- Missionary Night with President and Sister Sorensen: the Stake youth and young adults had a devotional with our mission president and his wife! It was so cool! I shed a tear or two as President Sorensen testified of the timing of his mission and the blessing of his mission, then in the midst of it he goes “we have some missionaries who are almost finishing their missions” and invited me up and asked me to share what my mission has meant to me, it was surreal. I'll extend the same invitation to you, if you're thinking about a mission DO IT. Whether its a young mission or a senior mission, DO IT. THE LORD NEEDS YOU
Stake Relief Society Conference: “hard with Jesus becomes HOLY” 🤍
And finally, COLBEY'S BAPTISM🤍🤍🤍
The service was beautiful, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Her whole family and friends were able to join her on her special day and her best friend and step mom were deeply touched and would like to continue attending. Colbey has had many challenges in her life, things that no kid should go through, but she holds on to God's hand so tight and has such an immense faith. She bore a beautiful testimony, and at the end her dad and step mom hopped right up and ran up to embrace her....let's just say I was sobbing. This is why. This is why we do what we do. Missionary work is the work of the Lord uniting families. I felt the spirit testify of His love for families. That moment is engraved in my heart. A girl and her dad. Finally together in the gospel and the rest of the family close behind. She is such a powerful example of faith. She loves unconditionally, she brings joy to anyone around. She just shines the light of Christ.
GOD LOVES YOU. HE LOVES YOUR FAMILY. He is constantly at work in our lives.
I'm out of time today, but just need to share this before its time to go, ITS EASTER TIME! And the First Presidency extended this beautiful invitation! Please prayerfully consider who you can invite to come feel the peace of the Savior and worship Him on Palm Sunday and Easter (general conference) weekend!
I love you all!
