Week #28 He Knows the Way :)

Image
Here is a little bit about this Week!!  I am so grateful to be companions with Sister Clark!! I love her so much! She loves the people, you can see it in her. She is Genuine and here to serve the Lord. I've really enjoyed this last week! Finding has been so much fun! Tracting, contacting and visiting the Members are times, while I have been with Sister Clark, that I have felt the Joy of the spirit:) This transfer I've learned the importance of unity, that  Joy can be with us where ever we go. This week has been great:) Sister Clark and I have been teaching this women named Sipho she's a lot like Joseph Smith, going to so many different churches and really looking for which one is true. She has so much faith and light in her it's unreal. She's prayed for an answer if it is true and still hasn't recieved it. But she has hope that she will! I am not sure how to help her continue to have that faith and hope, but we continue to teach her, testify to her, and...

Week #26 - ...I Will Sacrifice YOU to be more like ME

Image
Kingston Beach During sacrament meeting this boy named chase returned from his mission 2 months ago and shared  "Sacrifice the best part of you -  and I will sacrifice you -  to be more like Me ."   This brought so much hope! If you sacrifice with faith the blessings will COME.  Test it out and I promise. You will see yourself change.  It all starts with the Book of Mormon,  1. Open it up and read as you go along notice words that stand out to you and write them out, either if they stand out multiple times or if you feel anger against it study it, understand why you feel that way   2. Pray to God asking him to give you the strength over come that specific attribute.  3. You will be tried , you will be tested but if you focus on that attribute, focus on doing God's will, with the Strength of the Atonement of Jesus Christ you will get through it. Not only get through it but overcome it. You will see ...

Week #25 - Christ's Atonement is the Reason to be Happy!

Image
Yesterday was actually Thanksgiving in Canada!! (another Monday holiday!) I had 3 Thanksgiving dinners.. hahah.   One on Sunday and two on Monday.   I felt like I looked pregnant, but it was so good:)  I feel like I don't know anything:) It’s a good thing that God does. I feel like a child relearning everything.   Obedience brings Faith, Faith is the only way to understand the Atonement.   I am trying to understand it better.   I’ve been talking with my mission President to better understand the Atonement.   He gave me scriptures and talked about it at zone conference.   Sister Nicole Lowder - Love..Love..Love! He shared with the missionaries the following:   "It is difficult to add anything to conference, but I remembered a quote from Pres. Nelson's October 2000 (before some of you were born) conference talk entitled "The Creation." While visiting a British Museum in London, Pres. Nelson read an English translation ...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I am so excited for General Conference:) W e will be watching it at a members home . We have 3 people we are teaching and will invite them and if they are not able to join us they may go with some other members . Y esterday there was a fireside for the YSA and the Young Women President and her husband who is in the Bishopric were asked to share their experience of general conference and where in their lives they saw the Lord's hand. Anyway they shared how their whole family of 5 had an impression to move and everything they shared was the same to everything that happened to us when we moved. It was identical! hah.. after I went and talked to them about it.  It's comforting to know that God sends us certain places to strengthen us and help us change. Where they are now is different then where they were before. I know God is continually giving us the opportunity to change to bless us:) I am currently studying the Atonement of Jesus Christ and want to und...
