Teaching appointment right after service, Levi's under the skirt. |
I am
so grateful we were able to listen to General Conference! It was so amazing and
I was able to have so many questions answered. How cool is it that we are able
to listen to a living prophet and apostles today! I love that you can go with
questions, they can be religious, financial, or even about school and they will
be answered! The fact we were able to sustain THREE new apostles is pretty
awesome!
My
favorite talk had to be from the Women's broadcast. Presidents Uchtdorfs talk on A Summer with Great Aunt Rose and Eva. Great Aunt Rose lead and taught by example and by
love. She had a hard time doing everyday things that we take advantage of and
she did not complain once. She loved everyone she would met and never made them
earn her love and respect. She had so many Christ like Attributes and did just
as Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would want her to do. I think that is the
best way to teach someone, it is through love and action that we are able to
make the biggest impact. Eva was able to learn the greatest lesson ever in the short
time she was able to live with her Great Aunt Rose. She learned to love all
that she met and to see them as our Savior does. If we were able to see
everyone as our savior does think about how amazing this world would be.
I love being in a
three pack! It is a little more difficult trying to teach and get all of us
participating butand at the same time keep the spirit. I love the challenge and
love the work! So what more could I ask for?
The weather is getting
colder and so soon I will be wearing all of my winter gear!! How exciting! :/ I
live in a beautiful place and couldn't ask for anything better!
Heavenly Father sure
does love and watch over us! I have seen miracle after miracle just in the
short time I have been out! We have had members step in and help with
investigators outside of the church setting, and truly try and become friends
with them. We actually went out to do our weekly planning this week and decided
to do it at Buzz In and get dinner with it. We ran into a member from the
Lundeen Park ward and we sat and talked to him for a bit. After talking he left
and then about 20 minutes later we were leaving. We were getting ready to pay when the waitress
said the man who we had been talking to paid for our dinner, bought us a
dessert and then she handed us a $20 gift card to come back and eat again. This
was maybe something small and simple to him but it meant a lot to us. He like
Great Aunt Rose showed love through helping others even when they don't need
it.
I am so grateful to be
out serving and be able watch Heavenly Father work in so many different ways! I
love you all and hope that you have an amazing week! Watch General Conference
if you haven't because it was amazing!!!
