This is real life.

Did you know that the mission is the closest thing to real life that we have? Yep, it's true :-) Yesterday the libraries were closed, hence the late email. Forgive me.

 

I've realized the humility and obedience go hand in hand. I never thought of it that way until just this week. It makes sense right? I think the more humble we are, the more obedient we are. Right? Anyway, it was just a thought. I've learned to trust God a lot more, and He has granted me more faith. Our motto for our companionship is "Give us trials so we can have the faith to move mountains"(going off the promise in moses 6) It's helped us with seeing so many trials....that God is answering our prayers...fast. ha! Want a prayer answered fast? Pray for trials, but then realize that he is actually answering your prayer to have more faith, more love, more trust, and more success in your life. I'm greatful for impressions and revelation that God has blessed me with that has changed my life.

 

We were going to go visit a family and I had an impression to stop by someone new we found the week before, so I quickly turned at the light that approached. We said a prayer and as we walked to the door, she opened it because she was leaving to go on a walk with her 2 kids. She invited us to walk with her. She said that she had just being praying because she felt so sad and alone...and when she feels like that she goes on walks. She just wanted to feel better, and then we showed up. It was so interesting to me that she already recognized that God had answered her prayers through us. I am grateful the I listened to the prompting so that we could be an answer to her prayers.

 

We had zone conference this last week, and I had a comfirmation given to me about a life decision I had taken in 2010 that obviously changed my life forever because I actually made it to my mission. I feel emensly blessed for that prayer answered that I gave soooo long ago. It shows that God still answers are prayers even if it takes years to do so.

 

2Ne2:28 We can choose eternal life...or not. Did you know though that it's a commandment to choose eternal life? Hmmmm.

 

OKay well I love you all! Have a happy week! Go make someone smile.

 

With all my love,
