The Saviour's Way

Family, this week will be a short email because we don't have a lot of time (district P-day). Here's a quick update!

 

Things are good. A3 felt the spirit when we taught her about temples and family history and it was a really powerful lesson! She's slowly coming around :)

 

D4, is still studying and keeping commitments like crazy, the only sad thing is he's unemployed and has been temporarily extended a job that requires he works on Sundays. We're praying and he's praying that he will be able to find a job that will allow him to still come to church. I have complete faith that it will happen. Heavenly Father helps provide a way for  us when we sincerely desire to keep his commandments.

 

We had some pretty cool conversations with random people on the streets this week. Something that I always love is when we find people that 1) already have great faith and 2) are actually practicing the faith which they adhere to. It makes me so excited!

 

This week we also had a ward service project on Saturday morning. Ward service projects are the best! It's when we actually practice what we preach and get out there in the community and help! There is a special spirit in uniting together as a ward and serving somewhere in the community. I learned how to weatherproof a fence from doing it too :P

 

Something I have learned a lot about this week is the Saviour's way. Part of the reason that the gospel inspires us to become something more is because of how it gets us out of our comfort zone, changes us to be better and helps us overcome the natural man. For example, one I have been thinking about: We are commanded to love. Love God and love our neighbor. It is easy to love those we already love. Family, cute little babies, those who are humble and sick etc. But the difference? From the Saviour's example we see it's not just enough to love those that are easy to love, but to love our enemies too!! It seems to be the harder way, which stretches us and demands more of us. But from doing so we actually receive the greater blessings and are able to let go of the natural man which holds us in bondage.

 

This week is Zone conference, YAY! It's always so good. I'm excited for 6 hours of upliftment!

 

Love you all!!
