Short but Sweet

Short but sweet update today...all week long we fasted from sugar, miracles happened everyday. It seems like the time that we spend fasting, that our prayers are answered faster. Like they are on the fast lane to God! I have been rereading the Conference Ensign in preparation for Conference this weekend, an oh my goodness, words cannot describe the wonderfulness contained within those pages. It is truly a blessing to have the words of a modern day prophet and his apostles so readily available to us. Read them, cherish them for they provide comfort, counsel, and encouragement! Watch Conference to receive answers to all that may be troubling you:D

TRIALS BUILD CHARACTER

So this week, was definitely a trial week, though we still saw many miracles. Satan is trying so very hard to discourage and influence us to lose hope, but he will not win. Reading a conference talk, it says that Satan only has power over us if we allow him to, otherwise we would not be free agents. Our mortal bodies are weak and imperfect, therefore, we must unite with Christ to receive the strength that we cannot provide on our own. Christ came to this earth not only to suffer for our sins, but  for EVERYTHING hard that we will ever go through. So, when we get to points in our lives where we feel hopeless and scared, we can have the assurance that at least Christ understands us, that when we partner together with him, and we can become unstoppable! For more in depth reassurance and hope, read   Alma 7: 11-14:))

"When you are discouraged thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings...and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!"

what is milo??? Milo /ˈmaɪloʊ/ is a chocolate and malt powder that is mixed with hot or cold water or milk to produce a beverage popular in many parts of the world. Produced by Nestlé, Milo was originally developed by Thomas Mayne in Sydney, Australia in 1934. It is marketed and sold in many countries around the world. 

IN AWE

So you know the moment that will make you do your mission all over again...I had mine this week! Tricia's husband, Gery committed to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!:DDDDD

 Tricia is our recent convert who was married and baptized all in the same day. I am  so excited and in awe about Gery committing to be baptized! The best part of it all though, was literally seeing him let go of his past, let go of all the things that were weighing him down, and giving it all to the Lord. It totally reminded me of Alma the younger and the agony that his sins had caused him and then the immediate relief and joy he felt when he gave them all to the Lord. This just testified within myself, that this is the reason why I am here on my mission, to show people the relief and joy that only comes through our Savior. 

This week, I have been working on being bold and straightforward. I recognized that if I am not being bold and upfront, I am wasting not only my time and their time, but the Lord's time.  I am so surprised with how bold I can be when the people know that I love them...I can say almost anything! Which gives the the courage to be bold all the time, because that is the best expression of love, boldness. And by doing so, we are helping our investigators to progress because we are getting to the root of their questions and providing them with the solution to all of our problems, Jesus Christ .
