May Joseph Smith Bless you !

 

Song of the week- My Own worst Enemy by Lit 

Weekly rundown ( real boring sorry ) 

 We ran into ( got stopped by) an SUPER old contact on the street and at first I was like omh not another crazy man please don't talk to us ( I know, rude of me but I have Trauma for a reason ) but sis Hancock stopped and talked to him and he ended up being so cool and offered to buy us Ice cream and lunch but we told him we were late for a lesson and that we would love to have a lesson another day and he was like perfect, Have a good day and may Joseph Smith Bless you

what a guy!!! 

     Unfortunately Joseph Smith did not bless me this week... was flat in bed, sicker then a dog Thursday- Saturday. Not so fun but its ok, got lots of sleep and personal study in, along with some good deep life talks with sister Hancock!!! Love her  I got a Priesthood blessing from Imrão Antônio on Saturday night and felt little better the next morning and was able to go to church!! So hopefully I feel better rest of this week!

    Honestly not much to report this week, we taught some good lessons and met some cool new people in the beginning of the week, our teaching group is still doing good just the progress is going very slowly.. i have to remind myself that they are changing there whole lives and trying to understand something I have grown up around my whole life! 

Spiritual moment ️

    I was watching/ listen to president and sister bednar 50th aniversário devotional and Elder bednar said something that literally was an answered prayer for me.. I'm gonna copy and paste what he said 

"Plan, work, study, ponder and then press forward and do your best, he counseled. “Faith in the Savior is a principle of action. You act first in accordance with the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ, then and only then does the witness come. So if you are honoring covenants, keeping commandments, pressing forward, you will be where you are supposed to be, and you will be doing what you are supposed to do.”

Those who “press forward with steadfastness in Christ” cannot go amiss, he added.

God will never override agency or micromanage individuals’ lives. But those who give their whole souls to Him, who allow Him to be in control, will find “life is better than you can ever imagine,” Elder Bednar promised. " 

  Ill be honest I've been struggling alot with knowing what I should be doing at times, as a missionary, and even for after the mission and how I can better receive revelation for the things god needs me to do! When I read This, it was just such a slap in the face, wake up hallee, moment for me. Everyone growing up has always told me this in some way. But Bednar's words really just brought so much peace into my heart, and mind!! that as long as I am fully giving my heart to god, and doing my part, god will not let me down. And I will be doing exactly what he needs me to be doing as I keep practicing my faith in him!
