I'm sorry I didn't get my email out last week, and this one is going to be short!
It's been a crazy 2 weeks! On Saturday President Grayson called me to train again ((3rd times the charm)) (just kidding), so on Fridaywe drove to Savannah and stayed the night with the Sisters there. Saturday morning at 5:45 Sister Adams & I went to Macon for the trainer meeting. Sister McKay went home on Sunday and I stayed with the Hilton Head sisters until Monday and then they drove me to Savannah and I stayed with the sisters there and this morning I picked up my new companion and now we are headed back to Beaufort. If that confused you, then you have a glimpse of what my brain has been experiencing for the last 5 days! My new companions name is Sister Stacey and she is from Riverton, Utah! She wants to be a nurse and is super awesome! I am excited to see the Lord's miracles and serve with her :)
A quick story, on Sunday Sister McKay & I taught on Parris Island about the Restoration of the Priesthood authority. At the end we had a little bit of time while we were waiting for Elder Booren to play a video for them and I felt such a strong prompting to bear my testimony. I picked up the microphone & bore my testimony on prayer & it felt so good, honestly I am so grateful for every opportunity we are given to teach :)
I've been studying about the Priesthood Authority and I got to thinking, and I realized the Priesthood Authority is kind of like soap. If you've ever taken a shower without soap, you may understand, but a shower without soap is like baptism without the proper authority. The Priesthood Authority or "soap" enables the cleansing power of the Atonement & opens the gate to receive all of God's blessings.
I like analogies, but I'll tell you something else.. a couple of weeks ago I was going to take a bath & I was super excited to finally use this duck bath bomb my mom sent me for Christmas. So I threw it in the bath tub and when I got in it smelled very sweet.. so I picked it up and realized it was actually just chocolate!! Don't be fooled, not everything is as it seems.. All I had to do to know, was ask someone who knew better.. in this case my mom. ;)
Doctrine & Covenants 8:8-9
"But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong"
I love y'all! Have a happy week :)
