What a wonderful week!! It's definitely
been a crazy couple of weeks but I am so grateful for all that has happened! I
am growing so much every day (Spiritually, not physically..no worries there.)!
This week, I am just grateful. Nothing else. I just feel a very deep and
sincere appreciation and sense of gratitude for Jesus Christ. I truly love and
adore Him and am so grateful that I get to learn of Him and testify of Him in
all that I do and say every day.
Nate and Avraham were both baptized
yesterday and so was Private Stoller. I always, always love the simplicity and
power of that sacred, spiritual, cheerful, saving ordinance:)
I am so grateful that I have been able to
be apart of and witness 4 incredible young men's conversion to Jesus Christ and
His gospel and see the light of Christ illuminate their very being in the last
few weeks and months. It is such a beautiful and wonderful thing!
Being in Oklahoma, there are a million
church's and I get to see a whole lot of their marquee's and I saw a stellar one
last week that read as follows:
"If it's not worth praying about, it's
not worth worrying about."
What a remarkable quote!! There is so much
truth involved in the simplicity of that statement! It has definitely helped me
this week to reevaluate the things I worry about and in turn that has improved
the quality of my prayers. I love prayer and I truly believe that to be the
very purpose of missionary service and life for us on the earth!
Keep the faith,
