Here's my week in a nutshell(: :
- we had the sickest meeting for the ysa missionaries!!! I learned TONSSSS, The spirit was soooo strong!! I also learned I need more patience lol. The hardest part of being a missionary is you don't always get to see/ feel successful. I learned that sometimes people need time and consistency and that it's about putting in all my effort daily! I also learned that the spirit is the best ever, I'm beyond grateful for it as well as the revelation I'm able to receive from it
- THE YSA BROADCAST!!!!!!! Holy guacamole! I LOVEEEEE THE HOLLANDS!!! The entire thing was fire but here are a few of my faves:
• "Real faith; life changing faith is always in crisis. That's how you find out if it's faith at all"
• " Refuse to accept the world for what it appears to be. Shine your light, make it what it aught to be!"
• " our hearts will always be restless until they rest in God"
• " miracles come when we calm down, slow down, kneel down."
GO LISTEN TO IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!!! Cause it's seriously amazing!!!
- the ysa making me cry so hard in testimony meeting because it finally hit me that it might be my last testimony meeting in Carthage. these people have my heart and are some of the most Christlike people I know! I want to stay with them forever lol!
- I got to watch Wes pass the sacrament! there is seriously nothing that brings me more joy than being able to watch people grow and find the true and lasting joy that the gospel brings! I feel like most (who am i kidding all) of lessons we have with our new members they are actually teaching me rather than us teaching them. We were talking about how we're lowkey nervous to come home and have to go back to "normal" life again, they literally gave us so much advice, guidance! It hit me this week that I don't want to ever go back to "normal" life. I have learned and grown so much in the past 5 months and I don't want to come that far to have satan tear that down when I get home. I might only get to have a name tag with Christ's name for 18 months but I don't need to have a tag to have Christ's name engraved on my heart. You can bet I'm still going to try my absolute hardest to study my heart out and pray my heart out for the rest of my life. Why? Because even though it's hard sometimes, nothing comes close to the joy, peace, hope the gospel brings me & the joy my relationship with my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ brings me!
- GOD IS GOOD & PRAYER WORKS!!! Lately we've been trying to 1. Make our prayers super specific 2. Pray like all the time lol but like actually before everything, when one of us is speaking the other will pray their heart out.
And GUYSSSSS it works!!! God may have something in store for you, that is all dependent on if you ask for it. I learned 2 things from it- 1. faith makes you really really tired. I'm not being dramatic when I say I have never been so tired in my entire life lol! But it's worth it- 2. miracles happen if you ask for them and look for them! I have seen too many miracles to write about the past 2 weeks, I know it's because we've been praying for them.
Invitation:
Make your prayers more :
- personal
- specific
- frequent
- action based (willing to act on answers you receive)
LOVE YALL SOOO MUCH!!!!
Go make satan angry!
