Feb you are eeeeeee here already!
Holy cow it's crazy that I have to go home soon. Wonderful things are happening here in the CASFMission! WE are moving mountains! It is amazing to be prat of a prophecy that is being fulfilled. I always wanted to be part of the "missionaries" and what they went through...but I never really thought I'd go. Well, here I am and I've learned so many things. Two quotes I liked this week:
"Compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God." Pres. Uchtdorf
I love this because we are here to become the best we can be. It's true, we are nothing, but at the same time God's purpose is to bring us back to HIM...which means we are worth everything! (Sorry I hope I make sense.)
"The Lord can't drive a parked car." Some ensign somewhere.
Part of faith is taking action. If we want more faith...we must take more action. We have to start moving the car, and then the Lord can help direct us.
What we have been working on the most this week is to not just help our investigators grow testimonies, but to help them truly be converted. True conversion is needed if we want to get through our trials and not be subject to falling in a pit. If we do fall in that pit (maybe sin) then God gives us a ladder to get out...but we must ACT (climb up the ladder) and repent to get out of the whole we are in. FAith is required with everything here on earth. WE chose to come here by our faith, and now that we are here, we must walk by faith.
Elder Garns of the Seventy came to our ward...and I've met him before...but I didn't know who he was haha. Anyway after all the missionaries bore there 30 sec testimony, he bore his last. He expressed to the member of the church that missionaries come to certain areas to help THEM with THEIR missionary work. It's true....we help them. BUT many members think that missionary work is the responsibility of the MISSIONARIES. It is so much more. It is the member's responsibility to bring people to church, and it is through us (the missionaries) that they cane get baptized. I hope that all made sense.
Anyway, I love you are and I know that God's work is hastening....that means we need to change things now if Christ isn't the center of who we are.
All my love,
