Helllllloooooo!
I don't really have anything to write
in this email for the blog. After last weeks email, I feel like I
just don't have a lot. I told my companion that I felt like we rose
up to our potential but this week we have faced quite a bit of
opposition. I won't go into detail, it isn't important what the
opposition was/is. Just know it was very real. We are determined to
get back on our feet and have another amazing week! Despite the
challenges we've faced I know that God had been helping us. He has
sent divine help for Sister Loveland and I. Miracles did happen this
last week... but it was more on a personal level than in our
proselyting efforts.
I know that when we have hard times,
God will ALWAYS be there to bear us up. I have no doubt of that.
There was one night this week I was trying to sleep. I was extremely
worried about something and getting pretty anxious about it. Sleep
would not come. Finally I rolled over onto my side and started to
focus on Jesus Christ. I started to pray earnestly for relief. I told
Heavenly Father that if things were going to work out I needed to
feel peace. Immediately I felt peace come into my heart about the
situation. I was able to fall asleep within 5-10 minutes. I was
reminded of the scripture in the Doctrine & Covenants section 6
22 Verily, verily,
I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon
the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know
concerning the truth of these things.
23 Did I not
speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness
can you have than from God?
(D&C 6:22-23)
Just as a side note, here is additional
video that was filmed in the Stillwater stake. President Bowman is an
amazing man! He spoke in our ward yesterday and gave a powerful talk
about service. He has this incredible talent to get up and quote
scripture. 80% of his talk was scriptures and quoted them... not once
did he open up his scriptures or look down at notes. It was
inspiring. I hope to develop that talent one day. :)
President Taylor is amazing! I am so
thankful for the opportunity I've had to serve with him. He and
Sister Taylor have changed my life now and forever. I am sad they are
going home this week. I will really really miss them. Well, I love
you! I will have more to write next week! :D
Love, Sister Record
