It's been good.

Hello friends and family!! 

Wow! This week. It's been good, it's been one of those weeks where you just need to sit back, ponder, take things slowly and wait for a little something something to bring you back to grips. 

We had zone training so we focused on diligence and obedience. I don't know if I told you that our mission is reading the Book of Mormon and highlighting all the Christ-like attributes. It's good! The prophets in the Book of Mormon are very wonderful leaders, and you begin to see what it takes to be a true disciple of Christ.

This week we got to see the Lorbes family. We are working with them to reactivate them, the bishop said they haven't been sealed as a family so they wanted to work on it, but as we were there talking to them they brought out their family pictures of them while they were at the temple and they were talking about when they were sealed and all this stuff. We kept asking, sealed? So you and your family were sealed? Oh nice! When were you sealed? 

Like asking all these questions in a discreet way haha. But we showed them the video your potential, your privileges and them talked about patriarchal blessings, and committed them to talk to the bishop about getting one, so that was good! 

It was just funny to have our plans thrown out the window for a quick sec. 

we got to visit Lita a less active/recent convert she is a sweet heart, she has been struggling with coming to church because of depression and feeling like no ones likes her at church, but a cool thing is we showed her the "hope of Gods light" and she began to tell us when she was depressed and feeling hopeless she started to pray and then she said that went away. We got to just praise her for her righteous decision to turn to God in times where it seemed like Satan was over powering her. 

I think it's so amazing when we see these people in our lives and they struggle with life and the temptations that Satan puts in front of the,, but the use all their energy to choose God. That's where the hope comes, the faith lights the way and the despair is dispersed. I feel like that is where you have passed "the trial of faith" he wants us to choose him. 

Really I love this gospel, isn't it something else? Haha i am thankful for the gift of the spirit to be with us. It's truly a great gift I could be for thankful for that power that leads to do right, to choose God in all things and to appreciate the good in everyday live. 

God lives, he is there. He will always be, he always has and always is. 

I hope your week is one to remember, that you valentines was full of love and that you said I love you to more than the usually amount;) 

Have a good one! 

Love, sister Tincher
