So this week was a
crazy week! We had hospital visits, birthdays, President Miller may have come
down to EP from Albuquerque to visit with us, Elder Bennett of the 70 came, our
Zone leaders may have stolen our popcorn machine and our "easy" button
(meanie heads...haha), I may have met wiccan after wiccan after wiccan, I found
out the principal of the institute was a seminary teacher at Riverton High
School 12 years ago (small world right?!) , AND I have decided for this next
transfers I want to be a zebra companionship with Hermana Deardon she is
literally my favorite person ever. no big deal. (Zebra companionship means one
English Sister and one Spanish Hermana, in case you didn't know haha)
So before everyone
has a heart attack I am fine. My companion was having extreme pain for 2 days
in her side and so we went to the ER and were there for 9 hours but the finally
found out that it was just kidney stones. ): Poor thing I know! So this week
has been kinda slow work wise because we have had to go a little slower than
normal but she is so strong and is powering through! She had a blessing and it
definitely has given her strength. Have a mentioned how much I love Priesthood
Blessings? Yes, they are amazing. The power of God is real and we have full
access to it once again on the earth! Isn't that the coolest thing in the
entire world?!
Yesterday, we had
a zone conference and Elder Bennett of the 70 came. I was so excited! His was
the talk I told all of you to read a couple of weeks ago from the priesthood
session. Wow he truly is amazing! He is so filled with the spirit. I think I
may have filled up 4 pages front and back of notes. There were things I was
struggling with personally that no one knew about but he talked about. It was
such a testimony builder for me to know that my Heavenly Father knows me
personally. He is looking out for me and is aware of little ole me. I testify
that He does know each one of us personally. He knows our needs and He loves us
so much! Look for His hand in your everyday life and you will start to see all
the little things He does for each of you to show you how much He loves you.
One of the things
Elder Bennett talked about was the word convert. The word convert can be broken
up into 2 parts con and vert. The con means with or fully, and vert means to
turn. So to be converted to Jesus Christ means to fully turn to Jesus Christ.
It means to turn to him in everything and to know that He is the only way. How
many of us are truly converted to this gospel and to Jesus Christ? There are so
many of us that are members of the church, but are not converted to Jesus
Christ and His teachings. Being a member of the church is not enough. We must
be truly 100% converted to Christ.
We cannot
just go through the motions. We must be converted. I want to challenge you to
look at your own conversion. Are you turned fully to Christ? Are you willing to
give your all for whatever He may need of you? If you aren't start with the
basics. Start praying both day and night and with real intent. Start feasting
on the words of Christ and going to Church. It's the little things that make
the difference. (Alma 37:6)
I promise you that
if you start doing the little things and converting yourself to Christ you will
be happier. You will find joy in the little things. Your relationship with the
Savior will deepen and you will find the strength to make it through the hard
days.
Love,
Sister
