Haha I never know what to say in these anymore. There is one experience I can share from this week. Friday night, we KNEW that God had prepared someone in this specific neighborhood. We were tracting. And we started knocking and knocking, door after door, there was only disappointment. It was cold, I was hungry, but we knew someone needed us after a few hours, we knocked on just another door. And this gentleman that saw us pleaded with us to come in, we was a member who has got lost for a brief while. His wife is not a member and they have a year and a half year old, and they have another one on the way. And they just moved in a week prior, and he was praying for the missionaries to come by. We were just full of love for them!
"Sacrifice"
This is a letter from our Mission Presidents wife to us missionaries.
"In the Book of Mormon when Aaron was teaching King Lamoni’s father he asked Aaron what he needed to do to have eternal life and when Aaron taught him King Lamoni’s father said, “…I will give up all that I possess, yea, I will forsake my kingdom, that I may receive this great joy.” (Alma 22:15) King Lamoni’s father had desire.
"What do each of you desire? What are we willing to give up? “Righteous desires need to be relentless.” Elder Maxwell said, “because, said Brigham Young, ‘the men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle every day.’ (in Journal of Discourses, 11:14) Therefore, true Christian soldier are more than weekend warriors” Remember that we all put effort in to what we truly desire. May we desire to be His ROYAL ARMY!"
