Oh goodness, it is only one degree, just kidding it
got down to 4 though! haha I know it's colder in Utah so I am very
thankful, don't worry ;) this week has been going good! It has snowed
some, or been windy the one day I put on all my pairs of tights and
leggings on it was 35 degrees, don't worry it was a heat wave of course
that would be happening to me ahaha it's fine I loved it, it felt like
summer again!
We had exchanges this week so I got to go to the
City!!! I love and missed the city, so it was fun to see that again. I
am back in good ole Buffalo Grove and loving every second of it. The
cold isn't getting to me like I thought it would so that is such a
blessing. I think its so cool to be out here and see how the things in
my life I have done or the challenges I have learned from have only
helped me magnify my calling as being a missionary it's a true testimony
to know that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". the Lord will
give us things on this earth that are going to make us struggle, so we
have come closer to God. But also because of that if we use the Lord to
get through those tough time, we will find a way out and be able to help
someone else who may be going through something similar. We have all be
called here to help each other return to live with our Father in
heaven.
We stopped by this investigator we were teaching last
transfer and the coolest thing was he was home and let us in! his dad is
baptized, but not active and doesn't believe in the book of Mormon, so
when we started to teach his son he was all for it and then his dad and
brother started to talk to him about it and he then cancelled on us. But
this time when we went to go see him he let us in told us of his
concerns, which was like "why do you need to book of Mormon, is the
Bible not good enough?" The best part it is that the Book of Mormon is
evidence that God continually talks to his children on this earth, he
doesn't stop and never will. He wants his children to come back to live
with him, so the best way they can is if they can be receiving guidance
from the one and only>>> God. Well this is how he does it, he
calls Prophets! And they tell us exactly what God needs us to know, but
here is an even cooler part. Joseph Smith is a great example of receiving personal revelation. When he knelt in the grove and offered up
a prayer, God answered it. The same goes for us, if we ask in faith, believing that we will receive He will give it to us. Because our
success matter to Him.
I love this Gospel, it's true, its Jesus Christ's. And
we know for ourselves that it is. Because that's the greatest blessing of
the Restored Gospel, is that we can receive Revelation!
I love you all and I hope that you have an amazing week and fun Holiday!
