HOWDY YALLL!! I have never been more sure that the church is true than this week! The beginning was rough but the rest was a slice of heaven!
Monday- Wednesday: LOTS OF CONTACTING. Sister Morris was on her death bed! I felt so bad! Being sick as a missionary is the worst but having your companion sick is even worse because you just have to watch them suffer haha and you wanna help but all you can do it boss them around, tell them to sleep, take their medicine lol. I caught it one of the days and was chillin after that. But the 2 days I stopped loading up on the vitamins I got ill so I'm currently sick typing this... rip. I will say though the mass contacting sessions paid off! We were able to find a less active new convert that had dropped off the face of the earth!
THURSDAY: TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE TRAINING! I MEAN HOUSE OF THE LORD OPEN HOUSE TRAINING! I thought I was in heaven on Thursday... imagine every Sister missionary in the mission at the temple. All my best friends I haven't seen in forever! The spirit was so strong. A group of 40 sister missionaries, no contention at all just pure love for every one of them. We got trained on some talking points and how to start the temple video, it was so fun! I've never been so sure that I needed to be a missionary at this time for this reason. Then THEY TOOK US ON A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE TEMPLE!!!!!! I wouldn't have been surprised if angels came down. The spirit was unreal as soon as we walked in, then we went in the celestial room. It felt like God was there with us. There wasn't a dry eye in that room. In that moment i KNEW not believed I KNEW without a single doubt that this church is true and that family's truly can be together forever. The Temple was absolutely beautiful, the colors and the artwork were unreal! Sorry to my fam but I definitely wanna get married there so they might have to work out some plane tickets ((: I still have a headache from sobbing like a baby. I just didn't ever want to leave. Moments like that though make all the rejection, hard days absolutely worth it.
FRIDAY: THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND ... ELDER BEDNAR!!!!
Boy did I get some spiritual enlightenment!! Between Thursday and Friday holy guacamole. Every single missionary in our mission got to go to Bentonville to have a mission conference with Elder Bednar. As we were all seated waiting for him to come in it went silent. You could've heard a pin drop. I just felt the spirit change and we all knew he had walked into the building. Sure enough a few seconds later he came in the chapel. Elder bednar is so personable and funny! The way he taught was incredible. The whole thing was a council/ q&a format. He just let the spirit teach not himself, because of that I had questions answered that I didn't even know I had. I could write a whole essay on everything I got out of Elder bednar but I'll give ya a few highlights:
- " don't just go on a mission, become a missionary"
- he talked about becoming lifelong missionaries
-" Heavenly Father only gives us gifts if he trusts us to act"
" he's not going to let you mess up as you choose to worthly serve him "
" the worst sin is the one you think you can get away with"
SATURDAY: THE ROUTINE TEACHING POOL CLEANING!
I feel like every few weeks our teaching pool just needs a refresh. Or we'll have a few people that we need to either start teaching or pause teaching. Saturday we did a huge clean out of our teaching pool, we visited almost everyone we were teaching lol.
SUNDAY: I LOVE GIVING TALKS AS A MISSIONARY ((: I got to give a talk on missionary work in the fam ward about missionary work and it was so fun!
Invite: listen to Elder bednar's talk ask in faith!
Ask in Faith
