i'm short on time but i wanted to tell you guys how important the family is to God. Being here in the mission I've met a lot of people and a lot of families. The gospel was given to us so we can have happy, healthy families but FOREVER. I have seen the diference the gospel makes. I have seen it actively work in the lives of people to change them for the better to be more like Christ.
(I'm just super giddy to have a new niece and because my brother goes on a mission in like a week)
This week we had a lot of conferences and meeting. There are so many goals and expectations as missionaries (and as members too) it's hard sometimes to feel like we're adaquete (spelling?) to do the job. But the thing is we're not, neither can we every be. And the Lord doesn't even expect us to be. For this very reason He came to earth. So that WITH HIM and only THROUGH HIM we can reach our goals. I know His grace really "is sufficent". But we must submit ourselves to Him and His will.
As a missionary I've had to humble myself, turn to Him and ask for strength. I have felt His hand on my shoulder guiding me and filling in for my weaknesses. Grace isn't a factor that only comes into play as we stand at the jugdment bar. It is an on-going gift that began the moment we were born.
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH
