Onward Ever Onward!!‏

Dear Family and Friends!

This week was an interesting one!! My poor trainee got sick with the flu so we were stuck inside a bunch! But, we were still able to go out and teach as well:) In fact, on Thursday we were able to teach some members the lesson of the restoration. It was so good! It is a message we hear so often but is just as powerful every time we hear it! As we were reciting the first vision one of the members we were teaching just started crying. This message is true and it effects so many life's! Then on Friday we had a snow storm! It looked all nice and great that morning but after District Meeting it was pretty much a blizzard!! Okay... So it wasn't that bad but it was really really snowy! And we had some service to do for an older lady in one of the Elders wards and neither of us had brought super warm service clothes because it was nice and sunny that morning... But this is Colorado. If you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes AND if you do like the weather wait 10 more! So, we were nice and cold as we were helping this lady move into her house. It was worth it though because she really needed the help and I really love to do service! It was an adventure! which, I always did like adventures!

     So, in Doctrine and Covenants 62:3 there is a scripture that one of my companions came across and I really really liked it! It says "Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you." I really like this scripture! We as members of the church are constantly bearing testimony to everyone we come in contact with! Even though it may not start with ' I would like to bear my testimony...' every time we stand up for what we believe or even when we just live the standards that are set before us by a prophet we are bearing testimony! That is so so so amazing! It makes such an impact! and not only that but in this scripture it says that those testimonies that we are sharing are RECORDED in heaven for the angels to look upon and they are rejoicing over us! When we choose to live what we believe we are not only affecting ourselves, but rather, we are having an impact on every single person we come across! Every time we do so! What a blessing that is that we can help our fellow brothers and sisters start the path to returning to our Heavenly Father simply by showing them the way. As we are living the gospel and others are seeing it they will be curious! They will want to know more about what makes us happy and they will start their path to returning to their Heavenly home. We have such a great impact on others. It amazes me every time I see it as a missionary. When we go knocking on doors those who know a member of the church who is a good influence and lives what they believe are those who are much more willing to talk with us. That is all that I have for this week, but know that I love you all so much!

Love,

Sister Bice
