Dear Family and Friends!
This week was weird it
seemed to go by slow but now as I am sitting here and thinking it over I
keep thinking to myself, wait! That was only a week ago? Time here
keeps getting weirder and weirder. I can't believe that next week I hit
11 months... But, this week was good:) Sister Harrop is feeling better
so we tried to hit the pavement hard enough to make up for our sick
week. We got a list from our bishop of Less Active members he wants us
to visit and find out where they are and what their status is. Well, for
the most part you would think we were tracting and not visiting less
active... Every house we went to the Non-Member spouse of the less
active member was the one who answered we were able to find a lot of new
potential investigators:) It was a good week:) This week I was
finishing up reading 2 Nephi and I pondered a lot over verse 4
"Wherefore, now after i have spoken these words, if ye cannot understand
them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock; wherefore, ye
are not brought into the light, but must perish in the dark." This is
something that I have seen a lot on my mission both in myself and
others. There are times when I am going through something rough or
trying to decide what we should do and I do so but I forget to include
the Lord in my decision. This is especially important as we teach
people. "No one can know of spiritual truths without prayer." PMG pg39
The first time I read that statement I was a little taken aback because
we do have the spirit which testifies of truth when it is heard. But,
truly God cannot take away our agency we have to seek out truth or
guidance in order for him to be able to give it to us. He WANTS to bless
us but in many cases he holds off or doesn't because we have forgotten
to ask and to turn to him. I love you all and hope that you have a great
week!
