Last p day we went to Monticello! It was so cool to see the History of Virginia and learn more about this amazing state. (Thomas Jefferson's home)
Had exchanges and I went to Charlottesville with Sister Marriott, and we had such a good time. I missed Sister Fry lots tho, and I'm not sure what I'll do without her soon:( but Sister Marriott is incredible. We had two amazing lessons with their friends Daniel and Zanieb, and they were literally elect! It made me so happy to meet them and get to know them and their stories!
Our friend Alexis finally got back to us this week. We have been trying to meet with her and haven't heard anything back. But she told us to come over, so we did and this girl had bought herself her own journal Book of Mormon and has been reading it and said she's been seeing blessings in her life and didn't know why. We told her it's the book, THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRULY A DIVINE BOOK FROM GOD! This book blesses and changes lives. It's incredible, it made us so happy to see that even tho she wasn't answering us, she was reading the Book of Mormon!
Lately I've been having a hard time with the work, but this week it hit me whose work this is. It's not mine, and the person in control handles it perfectly. He knows what we're going through and what we are feeling. He placed so many things in my path this week that I needed to lift me up. I'll share a verse that is helping me endure the hard times.
Omni 1:26
"And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved"
And a quote to go with it,
"The time is past when we can merely believe in this gospel; we must be passionate in our belief and in our commitment to Jesus Christ and His plan. We must know, unequivocally, that He is with us, that He will guide and direct us. In His name we shape our offering."
The Lord sees our offerings and our hearts. I know without a doubt that this work is my Savior's and he leads, guides and directs this church. I know his plan is perfect and as I continue to put my trust in him and try to emulate his attributes in my life, I will grow and become what They need me to be.
I love you all and those of you who know of any talks that could help or that you love, please send them my way❤️❤️
