Well as we all know the mission is a little frustrating, hard, but worth it. Its hard working with so many wonderful people and watch them fall...but no one falls farther than the atonement of Jesus Christ can reach. I know this is true, this is my testimony.
We all know what is right and what is wrong, but at times we dont know how to use what we know. the chapter that has changed my life as a missionary....alma 49 i have studied this chapter at least 3 times this past week and i have been taught by the spirit...... The lamanites are coming....Lamanites= the world, temptations, sorrows, sickness, sadness, misery...etc. What are we doing to raise up fortifications? Are we praying to fortify our lives to talk with God who knows all things who can help us with our fortifications or are we just praying because in primary we were taught to pray. The same with scripture study...yes we all read, and study the scriptures! but are we reading and studying to fortify our lives? or just because its what the prophets tell us? Come follow me, church attendance, the sacrament, temple worship, what are we doing to fortify our lives? I have come to realize this is a war. we will lose battles. but we wont lose this war. When we lose battles...take a step back, repent, come up with a strategy...if you have to give wine to the lamanites! take control of your "weak cities". my life has changed.
well like all weeks we played soccer...i am getting pretty good if i do say so myself....well good enough that i dont get put at goalie anymore...or i am just that bad at goalie...but i like to think i am getting better....an eclipse is passing...i will try and figure out a way to take some pics! check out my google photos!
