This week really was that of Healing, in several
aspects... 1st off, GENERAL CONFERENCE ROCKED!!! Honestly, I went in
with several questions about life, how I could improve, and how I needed
to change to become who God would have me be... and literally EVERY
single question was answered, several times even. I love this very
dramatic opportunity to receive more confirming witnesses that this
Church is led by Jesus Christ and revelation. I'm so grateful to the
Holy Ghost that helped and continues to help heal the worries and wounds
of every day life. I loved Sster Esplin's talk, as well as President
Uchtdorf's, and Elder Gavarret's, and Elder Perry's, and just... every one's really.
I LOVED Elder Klebingat's talk about becoming really really good at forgiving
and repenting. I absolutely loved all the different talks on agency,
and how to receive personal revelation. I really do feel like a
completely new person after conference, with a bit more hope, a bit more
knowledge, and a bit more humility in knowing that I don't know
anything... but gratitude that God's given me a way to know enough for
the moment.
R___ attended 2 of the 4 conferences and loved them both. And is still planning on getting baptized this Saturday,
she really is one of the Elect. I hope to grow up to be more like
her... she saw a change, wanted what her sister found... so she acted
and continues to take a step of faith every day. One of her friends was
just murdered... Idk if you heard about the Real Estate agent that got
kidnapped here... but it was her friend she worked with... and to see
the grace and peace in her eyes as she told us, she knew she was in a
better place. I hope to face trials half as well as her. I know that no
matter what, Christ can heal our wounds no matter how deep... cause he's
always there for us.
One thing I really learned
in Conference is to be able to see our trials and instead of baulking at
them... to view them with better perspective... I'm hoping that I can
apply that knowledge 1/2 as well as I grasp it.
2nd
reason it was a week of healing is... A cold I caught turned into
bronchitis when we were unexpectedly asked to take a 2nd bike week
because of lack of miles on our car... so after receiving the necessary
drugs... I rested (my companion caught the cold too...) so we became
very familiar with our couch, water, pillows, tissues, and church
produced video's... I wonder if being able to quote the Restoration from
beginning to end is considered a skill... if so, then I have found
another skill! Haha yup, well... This week has been amazing. Thank you so
much for your prayers and well wishes, it really makes a difference as
we continue to see miracles in this area. The member's are wonderful.
This morning I made a coconut cream and chocolate cream pie at a members
house... She said I did extremely well for a "novice" (big shout out to
Aunt Christine and Grandma Fuhriman and Nelson for letting me watch
you). Haha apparently I learned something... who woulda known! :D
Love and Pray for y'all,
Continue in your grooviness
