I hope your week was full of love, roses, chocolate, and Christ!
This week was great. On Wednesday, we went tracting and found a mother and daughter who moved to Cochran from South Carolina last August. They have been through a lot and moved here on a whim, but they believe God has led them here and led us to them! They have been through a lot and are so grateful for everything they have. They are awesome! She invited us right in when we first met them, so we taught them about prophets and the priesthood. We went back on Monday and shared the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. She really appreciated our honesty and patience with them, she felt forced to go to church growing up and wants more for her daughter. She was raised in the Pentecostal church, but has studied many different religions. They are excited to learn more about the LDS church! I love them!
We had exchanges this week and I went to Macon with Sister Boyer! Our exchange began with an elderly man calling us over and proceeded to ask us if we were looking to give him some love.. so I told him we are always seeking to share the love of Christ. There is far too much to go around for us to keep it to ourselves! After several minutes he drove off haha there is something interesting in every day! All of our plans fell through for the day, but God is in charge and His plan is not typically what we have in mind. It was an awesome exchange though, I am really grateful for Sister Boyer because she is a wonderful missionary. She goes home in about two weeks but is still working hard and a great example to me.
I am studying about "long suffering" right now, and I have been learning a lot about patience. I think long suffering is important because nothing lasting comes quickly. I have been trying to understand how to find peace in stressful situations. A scripture I came across during my studies helped me a lot, I love it because it helps me put into perspective God's plan for us.
Hebrews 12:1
"Wherefore seeing we also are
I'm grateful for our Savior because I know that He blesses us as we seek to understand and follow Him.
I love y'all! Have a blessed week!
