WHAT IS UP YALL!!! SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS WEEKEND!! SO GRATEFUL FOR LIVING PROPHETS AND APOSTLES! what a treat it was to hear from them this past weekend! I have so many things I want to share but I will keep it short! I will share some successes, some trials, cool insights from confernce and more!
First off Elder Blake and I are kinda quarantined because Elder Lee our companion possibly has COVID. So the last 2 days we have been quarantined and have switched off with the other Elders so that we can leave and go do stuff for our area. Should get the results for him these next couple days so that everything will go back to normal!
* MIRACLES
- We gave a blessing to a Sister Missionary who is trying to find answers to some questions she has and THE SPIRIT WAS INSANELY STRONG!! I just felt God's love encompass me and her! It was so comforting and such a great reminder! In General Conference they constantly said: “The first great commandment is to love God with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. But the first great truth is that God loves us with all His heart, might, mind, and strength!!”WHAT A TENDER BLESSING AND TRUTH TO ALWAYS KNOW! if you haven't felt this love!
Friends and Family, I invite you to pray to your Heavenly Father and to ask! I promise you that as you do this and as you read the Book of Mormon and keep His commandments. The Spirit will fill your soul and will overpower anything else going on in your life to allow you to feel the depths of the love God has for you!!!! 🤍
- We met with our friend Ebow and he is doing amazing! We will be resetting a date for him to be baptized soon.
- BRAD POSLEY GOT BAPTIZED!! a great man that isn't in our ward but asked us to Baptize him and the other Elders said we were good. He is a great man and has had such hard trials but has the sweetest sprint and strongest testimony! At his baptism a recent convert of 3 months spoke! HOLY COW!! THE SPIRIT WAS STRONG! So grateful for these two and their desires to serve God and follow Him in everything they do! (Pictures will follow)
General Conference was byyyyyy farrrrrrr the best part about this week. I LOVE OUR PROPHET!! WHAT GREATS WORDS OF WISDOM FOR US TO BUILD OUR SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION ON:
1. Jesus Christ and His Atonement
2. His gospel
3. The Covenants we make in the temple
I LOVE THIS AND CAN’T WAIT TO APPLY THESE THINGS IN A HIGHER AND HOLIER WAY! I HOPE YOU WILL FOLLOW ME IN THIS GREAT JOURNEY AS WELL :)
* I love the guidance on our Temple Covenants! We should be super engaged on what we have covenanted to do and why we covenanted to do it! Through these promises we will see an increase in power in our daily lives. "Endowed with power"
- I love this scripture
2 Nephi 22:2
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation."
HE IS OUR ROCK AND SALVATION!! I LOVE THIS! He is someone we rejoice about just like in 4 Nephi (there wasn't a happier people) WE CAN BE LIKE THOSE PEOPLE! LETS REJOICE, SING, AND PRAISE HIS NAME! HE IS OUR STRENGTH AND SALVATION!!
"I plead with you to seek — prayerfully and consistently — to understand temple covenants and ordinances.”
“Spiritual doors will open, President Nelson promised. “You will learn how to part the veil between heaven and earth, how to ask for God’s angels to attend you, and how better to receive direction from heaven. Your diligent efforts to do so will reinforce and strengthen your spiritual foundation.”
I have so much to share but instead I’m going to use picture quotes haha! I hope y’all like them.
" In the Lord’s timing, it is not where we start but where we are headed that matters most.” (Gilbert)
As we have our Spiritual Foundation, we are building up and know where we are headed! We have the goal in mind and as we have these two points that's how we make that straight line to get to God. I also love Elder Ballards talk, he really gets us to reflect and look at what is most important in our lives! "Lovest thou these more than me?"
I also loved Brad Wilcox!
"Repentance is a process" it is so divine and so inspired! We have both the Redeeming power and Enabling strength!! This is a powerful quote! I want you to let this soak in.
" NEVER GIVE UP EVEN THOUGH WE SLIP UP" we all mess up but never, no never give up.
My question to y’all is! WILL YOU LET GOD PREVAIL IN YOUR LIFE!!!!
"I only want what you want, not my will but THINE BE DONE"
LETS FULFILL HIS WILL! If you don’t know His will, it was talked about constantly in General Conference! Seek, ponder, and pray THEN APPLY!!
I LOVE Y’ALL SO MUCH! I LOVE CHRIST SO MUCH! REMEMBER THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO! DONT LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT BUILDING YOUR FOUNDATION ON CHRIST!! If you don't know where to start, turn to God and ask. Turn to where He is talked about:
- Bible
- Book of Mormon
- Living propehts and apostles
HE IS WAITING FOR YOU! HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU STRENGTH, LOVE, GUIDANCE, FORGIVENESS!
I'll end with this
"How can you hold up the gospel light?" (Marcus B. Nash)
Jesus Christ is Risen. He is living. He loves us. He died for us. He knows us. He understands our trials, situations, and challenges. TURN TO HIM!! I KNOW THAT HE LIVES AND LOVES US!! HOLD UP HIS NAME! TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF! BECOME PERFECT JUST AS HE IS PERFECT!! 🤍🤍
