Feed My Sheep

This week has been a little crazy, but we have had some success, more than usual, with teaching! It makes it so much more of a privledge to be able to teach people and even get the chance to talk to someone, you really start to see the importance of this message and what it can do for people. One of the coolest moments as a missionary I have come to notice, is that when you have the chance to bare your tesimony and see the effect it has one someone, you can tell when something clicks for a person or when they learn something. I love it, I love being an instrument for God to spread His message. But listen to this! the coolest part about this, is EVERY member is a missionary. That is just the fact. That is our calling and duty as being blessed with this knowledge. And part of our covenant with being baptized is that we promise God to stand as a witness to Him at all times, and in all places. Being a missionary doesn't come by the name tag we are given, but by the message we bring to the heart of His children who are searching. And everyone is searching, so share what you have to say, because everyone can benefit from it!

 

We had our zone meeting this past week and we were given this talk that Elder Holland gave years ago when they first came out with the Preach my Gospel mission. He tells of the story where he calls Peter to be a fisher of men, again, after Christ is resurrected and Peter goes back to his old fishing job. Jesus calls him again to "Feed my Sheep" to leave behind what he is doing and go back to teach his brothers and sisters on this earth. I love this, because God wants all of His children to return to Him, so he sends forth His children that know, to feed His sheep. I know that there is a true power that comes from baring your testimony of the Only Begotten Son, he stand with you as you do. You are not alone and in return for doing so he blesses you with joy in the journey. I love the Savior.

 

Our President has given us a challenge to read the whole Book of Mormon by April's General Conference and while we read to mark everything that has to do with Jesus Christ and The Atonement. I have been doing this for about a month, and I am stunned at how much I have learned, and how much my testimony of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice has grown. I am truely thankful for the Atonement He has made. To make it possible to be clean, and live everyday with the strength of the Lord leading me to do better that I did yesterday, everything is possible when you involve God... everything has to do with Him if you are looking. I know that my Father lives, and He loves us more that we can comprehend. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and another testimony of Jesus Christ and His great sacrifice he has made. There is none other we can go through, to find ever lasting happiness.

I love you, and miss you. I am thankful for everything you have done for me. And who I am today because of what you all have taught me! I hope you have an excellent week!!

Keep on, keepin on :)

love, Sister Tincher
