This week has been an
interesting one! My comp is all bout the work.. its kinda bi-polar, but I have
had many spiritual uplifting experiences this week so it’s my turn to push him
again as we work up this next hill! I've really been behind in my journal. Sometime
in Savanna-la-mar I plateaued and things haven't been the same since.. just got
a little lazy due to "heeding" others (1 nephi 8) but as I’ve started
doing the little things.. time is picking up and things are working out so
nice. I’m getting caught up on my journal, only 6 weeks behind now... and
starting to study early again. It’s been really nice and so helpful in the
week! We had many good lessons this week. Had to teach them with a member
present.. cuz my companion, I love him, but having bad days wouldn't say
anything during lessons.. and it would really sour my attitude. But my
testimony of the scriptures has grown so much. After each teaching appointment
whether it was down time of 15mins or 5, I would whip out my scriptures and
pray and read.. and all feelings of bitterness, anger, frustration would leave.
Scriptures are powerful. I wish people honestly would just take 15 mins a day
to prayerfully study and apply them and there is no way that you would miss the
spiritual manifestation that they are true! That God truly loves and cares for
us! The prophets care about us! So
excited to hear from them this week!!
Had a trade off with Elder
Bateman this thursday evening and we had a family home evening lesson. I taught
on testimony and everyone just pitched in.. and it was powerful! Learned that
everything we do is backed by a testimony of some sort. Like where to send our
kids to school, where to shop, what kind of car to buy. Everythin! Testimonies
are sooo important and it’s important that we share them! Just like if you know
that this doctor office is the best, and will give the best service and price..
you will sometimes spend hours to convince a good friend of that! It should be
the same with the gospel! We know what is best, and we share what we know! Be
bold, be brief, be brilliant!
Really been trying to
remember my calling this past week, and the power and spirit has been
tremendous! It’s been a while since this strong and it feels good. My favorite
chapter in the Book of Mormon is 1 Nephi 8. It sometimes feels as if the iron rod goes
through the spacious building. We really have to "cling" to the iron
rod. Have to. And as we do that we won’t "heed" those things of the
world calling out for our attention.
I was also given the
opportunity to give some blessings this week. It really is a serious effort we have to make
to be ready for the spirit to speak. D&C 88:81 consistent desire to have
the spirit is key. This week I really
felt it especially during prayers. Sometimes the spirit is weak.. sometimes it’s
awesome! And I can totally feel it guiding me. Guess that is one of the
challenges, looking for and following the spirit. Feels good to be moving
forward again and not plateaued or staying the same! Thanks for the prayers.
They are felt and needed. We have no one progressing right now... but soon come
conference, better help with some faith building!! Love you all and hope you
all have a fantastic spring break and merry April fools tomorrow!!!!! Bless up!
Nuff love!
