What an eventful week!
Sunday, we got a call that because of the tornado there was a really bad storm and the power in our church was out so church was cancelled. It was really sad. So our favorites, the Humphreys, invited us over for a little sacrament meeting and it was awesome! We talked about fear and how to overcome it through Christ. Especially right now with all the craziness going on. And it got me thinking about how I overcome fear through prayer. In my life, everytime I feel afraid, I always pray and I feel so mu ch peace. Because I know that God has got me. Whether I'm afraid of getting sucked up in a tornado or I'm going down slick rock in a Rhino, (do you get that one dad?) God had always got me.
There is this super sweet lady named Kamie in our ward that we have been working with lately and we got to go read the Book of Mormon with her yesterday. She is a pretty new member and we try to go over once a week to read the Book of Mormon with her and help her in any way we can. She is from India and she is the sweetest and I always love seeing her. It has really hit me this week that missionary work really isn't just for those who aren't members of the church. A big reason why we are here is to help members that need help and new converts who have questions or anyone that needs us! It is amazing all the wonderful people we get to meet and serve.
Something fun we've been doing is we make little bags with popcorn in them and a note on them and anytime we are going somewhere, we stop at a few members houses on the way and drop them off. It's been a great way to meet members that we haven't yet and if they don't answer, we can just leave their bag on their door.
We've been doing some service as well this week which has been a huge blessing. We love getting to get out and serve and meet new people. I stepped in some major dog poo doing service though so RIP. We've also been going to the park to chalk on the sidewalk some uplifting quotes and we've been going to the mall to talk to people! It's been so great!
I hope all of y'all have been reading through the talks from conference again! I was re reading the talk given by Matt Holland and I LOVED this quote
"Regardless of the causes of our worst hurts and heartaches, the ultimate source of relief is the same: Jesus Christ. He alone holds the full power and healing balm to correct every mistake, right every wrong, adjust every imperfection, mend every wound, and deliver every delayed blessing."
I know the Savior is here for each of you. He has been my relief in so many ways.
Sorry this is a long one! Love y'all!
