GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS
SO AMAZING. I got to watch it this week with all the American
missionaries. I can't wait to get my hands on the conference issue of the
ensign. But this biggest things i got out of conference was we need to
having charity for our loved ones and others.
So this week I read the
full talk on the 4 types of missionaries. The 1st two don't seem important to
me but the last two i think really hit me. The 3rd missionary is a good
missionary, is obedient and works hard. The 4th missionary is a good
missionary, obedient, works hard, and gives their will to their Father in
Heaven. What is the difference between the two giving up your will
and
giving your whole heart to the work. Is it bad that I count my months down, and think about home sometimes... not bad per say but I am still thinking of what I would rather be doing and not what He wants me to do.
Our Heavenly Father has
everything, and can take or give anything he wants. But as a gift to us he gave
us our agency. That is the only thing that is only ours and one thing that he
will never deny us of. When we give our will to him, we accept and
trust Him. We accept that he really does know best. He is the most
anonymous giver, and will always love us. He knows exactly what will make
us the most happy now and in the long run.
19 For the anatural bman is an cenemy to God, and has been from the dfall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he eyields to the enticings of the fHoly Spirit, and gputteth off the hnatural man and becometh a isaint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a jchild, ksubmissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
When we decided to follow our own will instead
of God's will we are rejecting that Heavenly Father is a perfect being. We
saying we know best. But his ways are not our ways. In conference I loved the
talk, I dont' know who said it but "Many people don't follow some
commandments because they don't understand them, or see a reason for them. Just
like a parent has rules for children, and children don't always understand why
we have rules (quoted but not a real quote haha)". That is why we have
commandments, and why obedience, and consecration to our Heavenly Father are
really what is necessary. So everyday I have to strive to consecrate
everything I have to the lord, my heart, might, mind and strength.
Well this week was kind
of slow with work, but we have 3 really awesome investigators that are
progressing so well. I think next week they will get baptized, hopefully.
But I don't really care about the baptisms. I care that they are converted to
the lord.
I only have 6 more
classes of English left till September. I'm quite excited! I will miss
them but I will be excited that I won't have to prepare!
Well Love you all
Family! Stay safe.
