This week was a blessing. I think it was such a good reminder to
realize that we need to put all trust in God. My favorite scripture is
Proverbs 3: 5-6
When we go through out our whole day remembering where
we came from and who we are, we are going to be guided in the descisons what
to make and become that person that we desire to be. The Lord is on our
side cheering for us, he wants us to be successful and will help us get
there IF we allow him to. His hand is always stretched out and we just
have to grab it!
We had an awesome experience with teaching a wonderful
lady who we met while we were at a members home for Thanksgiving. The
ward memeber invited her over and we were able to come and teach her the
Restoration! the thing is, is that member missionary work is really
what helps others recieve the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Something that I
learned is that Gospel means "Good News". Jesus Christ brought forth His
Good news, and you know what this good news is? It is that we all have
the power with in us to be cleansed from sin and return to our Heavenly
Father. It is through faith in Jesus Christ that we are able to find the
fullness of Joy, and we access this by repenting and utilizing the
Atonement that we made for us. I love it! It's so perfect and makes so
much sense.
When we were tracting the other day we knocked on this lady's house
and she got us confused with another religion and said she didn't like
how only a certain number is allowed into heaven. And we could say no!
Our Heavenly Father wants us all back!
Eternal life is for everyone! And anyone that makes the choice to persue it.
So
this here is come news that I best be telling you. We got our transfer
call, we are a little bit sad haha, but it's okay its how mission likfe
is! I am going to stay here in Buffalo Grove and train! I am getting a
newbie haha pray for me! Or maybe pray for her... haha. And Sister.
McClimans is going to Indiana! We are excited for a new challenge and to
see what is coming our way. I love being a missionary, and learning so
much while working with others. the Lord blesses those who strive to do
His will, all we have to do is have a desire and things will fall into
place. I know that with all my heart. There is so much happiness in
living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Lehi's dream he said himself, "I
beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy."... In 1
Nephi 8:12 "as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with
exceedingly great joy; wherfore, I began to be desirous that my family
should partake of it also; for I knew it was desirable above all other
fruit."
I can fully relate to this scripture. I love this gospel and I am
so thankful for Joseph Smith and for him to bring to pass the
Restoration through God. I know that this is Christ church and His only
church with the fullness of His teachings.
I love you all so much and I wish you the best of luck this week! You are a blessing!
Love, Sister Tincher :)
