This week was rough but so good! A lot of our plans fell through but we were able to be where we needed to be and work hard. I have really come to know that when we are obedient and follow the promptings of the spirit (being where we need to be) the Lord will show us miracles. Big or small, miracles are miracles!
Every week we have the opportunity to meet with our ward mission leader, Brother Clark, to talk about our missionary efforts from the previous week and get some Brother Clark inspiration and wisdom. 💁 I hope to be like him and his wife one day. The Clarks are such spiritual studs!!! Ahh I just love them so much. This week as we met up with him before a lesson, he reminded us simply that what matters most is remembering we are set apart to carry the mantel of "missionary" and that as we listen to the spirit like we are promised in the scriptures we "cannot be confounded". And let me tell you it was a POWERFUL lesson. The person we were teaching was trying to bash with us and instead Sister Taunima, Brother Clark and I just bore powerful constant testimony and his whole attitude changed! I walked away being reminded once again that we must always have the Savior's name on our lips and never be ashamed to testify. Our testimony is our most powerful tool and we should never be afraid to share it. We never know just who might need to hear the truth that has changed our lives.
We were able to miraculously touch a few more lives this week with our testimonies- a couple examples stick out to me: We were visiting a couple different ladies who haven't been active in the church in many years. Both times we visited each one we testified of the Gospel and Christ. Both times a peace filled the room and they both, smiling, shared with us that it was just the thing they needed to give them hope to endure and pull through.
I know the Jesus is very real and that He lives! He is closer to us than we realize and if we let him into our lives He can lift and help and brighten them unlike anything else. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the same church that Christ established when He walked on earth. I know that He still is the head and that if we hold onto his teachings and stay close to him we cannot be lead astray. I know that He knows us each personally and is there even when we may think we don't deserve him. He never leaves. I love him with all my heart and love this gospel! I am grateful to be on his errand and help in his work! I invite you all to reach out to him and let him help you in every aspect of your life this week :)
Love you all!
