STAKE CONFERENCE THIS WEEK!!!
"'Let me know if I can help,' is no help at all."
"If someone keeps falling over, maybe it's because they are trying to move forward."
"Be more of a friend than a Mormon."
"True doctrine understood improves behavior."
"The world works from the outside in.
The Savior works from the inside out.
The world would change your environment to change you.
The Savior would change you to change your environment.
The world would change human behavior.
The Savior would change human nature."
"Doing something for yourself doesn't usually profit anything."
"Submit our will. Be brave. Stand up for the Savior's way of life."
"God's plan is like embroidery. It's a mess from our perspective, but it's BEAUTIFUL from His perspective."
"Listen to the counsel that comes from the Lord."
1 Nephi 8:24 - "And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward, and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press forward through the mist of darkness, clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and partake of the fruit of the tree." Strive. Keep true. Don't give up.
Sure way to revelation:
1. Search the scriptures.
2. Keep the commandments.
3. Pray with real intent.
"We need to prepare to receive revelation."
"To walk in the light is to receive personal revelation."
STAKE CONFERENCE WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Well, this week... :)
To start, we had a wonderful lesson with T and R! :)
R is sooo amazing.. She actually got baptized yesterday into C of E... BUT, on Tuesday she said, " I know my baptism isn't valid, but we have been planning this for months, and it would be disrespectful not to follow through." WHAT A DOLL!!! She is soo fantastic!!!
And then B. :) Oh, B. :) She is an elderly woman we met a couple of weeks ago. We stopped by her last week and she is just darling!!! We came in and she said, "Sisters, I'm a predicament... My knickers are too big for me!!! And they keep falling off!!" She then proceeded to lift up her shirt and show her lacy knickers.. HAHHAHAHA!!! I've never laughed on the inside so hard!!! :) She is sooo adorable!!!! :) We had a wonderful lesson with her... She has such a powerful spirit.. :) Her husband eventually died, along with her son. So, we had an amazing conversation with her about how this is not the end. And you can tell she knows that! :)
She also talked about how she frequently sees spirits in her home. Some good, some bad. And sometimes, she just gets a very cold feeling. so, we were able to say a prayer over her home that there would be much peace and happiness. :)
Those were the amazing teaching moments of the week!! :) We talked to a lot of people this week, but none of them ended up being Meaningful Gospel Conversations.. :( BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!
Spiritual highlight!!!!
I FOUND MY NEW SCRIPTURE HERO!!!!! :)
Matthew 27:19, "When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
PILATE'S WIFE!!! Oh, she is a rock star!!! She never heard Christ's teachings, never saw His miracles, never knew what He did for her, never even saw His face... And yet, she still stood up for Him...
That is a true believer in Christ... I can't wait to meet her on the other side!!! I'm going to give her a huge hug for defending Him!!!! <3
I love this gospel. I love this church. I pray we can be true believers. I pray we can be true defenders. :)
MAY WE ALL STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN!! Even if we stand physically alone, spiritually, we are never alone!! Matthew 28:20 is proof of that! " Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
HE IS WITH US ALWAYS!!!!!
Elder C. added a very profound thought this week in our conference call... "Christ is a lot closer than any of us realize."
AMEN, ELDER!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
