Conqueror of the Enemy‏

Dear Family and Friends,

      This week has been crazy, weird, and good all wrapped up in one! On instance I can think of is Sister Perrin and I have been trying to track down some less active members recently, and well we went to one house and knocked. Well, as we were standing there just waiting we started talking about something when all of a sudden whoever is in the house knocks back at us!!! I think I jumped at least 10 feet!! So, very confused we knock once more... Unfortunately, they didn't answer but now Sister Perrin and I have lots of jokes about doors knocking back at us. It was a very new experience! But, most of this week has been spent visiting members in order to arrange things for Kristy's baptism on the 28th. We are so excited for her, she is an amazing person:)

       But, it has been a really good week:) I've really really enjoyed being here in the Meridian ward:) On Friday I hit my 16 month mark! I can barely believe it, honestly I still feel like I'm in the first few months on my mission... But, at the same time I don't I've seen way to much growth to still be just beginning. Recently, I have been thinking about how much I have changes since I entered the MTC almost 16 months ago. I remember just bawling my eyes out after the first lesson we taught to our 'investigator'. I didn't know how to teach and I just wondered why in the world I was even on a mission. I still have hard moments, but I also know why I am here. :)

      Today, I was reading in Jacob 7 and I came across a verse I really like. Its verse 25 : "Wherefore, the people of Nephi did fortify against them with their arms, and with all their might trusting in the God and the rock of their salvation; wherefore, they became as yet, conquerors of their enemies." I liked this because as I read it I took it and put my name in so instead it said : Wherefore, Sister Bice did fortify against them with her arms, and will all her might trusting in the God and rock of her salvation; wherefore she became as yet, a conqueror or her Satan.

     One thing I know for sure is that as we build upon the rock of our salvation who is God we will become mighty. Not because of us, but because the person that we are built upon is mighty even unto the power of deliverance. As we do this we can overcome all the things that face us and all the battles we are expected to fight. I love you all so much and hope you are having a fantastic week!

Love,

Sister Bice
