Hey everyone, how have things been doing?
On
Sunday in church, after sacrament meeting, the first councilor in the
branch presidency called us over, and it turns out that there was a
less-active member who wanted to come to church, and his non-member
daughter brought him. She said we could come over, and we will do that!
And that was at the end of the week, too! During the week, we decided to
go by an old investigator we had basically dropped, because we hadn't
seen her in a long time, and it turns out that she had surgery recently
and has been unable to have us over. It was great to know that she
wasn't avoiding us and is in a situation that is life-changing that we
can help her with! nd that your efforts will not be in vain but your works will
continue after you leave."
I realized recently how short comparatively this mission is to the rest of your life, and I wish it were longer.
During district meeting I had planned talking about working with the
ward and how to do it, and we were able to get to that, but as we
reviewed key indicators, we did our own small training, where we talked
about how to receive and expect miracles. We got a list of the
following:
Miracles
Attitude, and we found that
this affects all the other attributes in the list; when you're happy and
excited to get out of the car, you want the other attributes.
Pray, and expect it to happen
Faith- increase it
Hope
Repentance
Obedience
Dilligence
Charity
Patience, esp. with alma 17
Humility
All other Christ-like attributes in preach my gospel.
As we try to follow Christ, He gives miracles.
I've
been really trying to let the goals motivate me this week. It has
slipped my mind before, and I have forgotten about them at times when
they would have helped, but hopefully I get better.
We went to McDonalds and there was a 69 cent burger deal. Together we bought and ate 79 burgers!
