Hello all!!
This Pday just so happens to land on my 8 month mark. 8 months already?? Weird.
Anyways, this week was pretty good. Sister Urbina and I street
contacted, biked, knocked doors and preached da gospel. I've seen some
pretty amazing things come from street contacting too, and you know
what's one of the freaking best things about being sister Urbina's
companion? SHE IS SUPERB AT STREET CONTACTING!! She literally has no
fear when it comes to that, she has taught me so much! So, we were
able to street contact into some people and find potential
investigators! We have around... 3 lessons I think this week that
could turn into investigators! I'm stoked!!
If any of you have a chance, go look up the talk "Cast not away
therefore your confidence" you can look it up on LDS.org or the gospel
library app. It is a devotional given by elder Holland from a BYU
devotional.
It talks about when we have felt the spirit and why it's so important
to keep the spirit in our lives. He says:
"Beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was
right when you prayed about it and trusted in it, it is right now."
That is something that has been on my mind. There are times in our
life where we feel like Heavenly Father doesn't hear us, or that he
simply isn't there. I know, because I've felt that before. I think
everyone does at least once in their life. The thing is, he is there.
He is listening to your prayers, and he is answering them. Sometimes
it's hard to see those blessings or listen to his promptings, but I
can tell you that he's there! And he loves you!
Don't give up, don't let the things of the world weigh you down,
because they will if you let them. Pray, read the scriptures and be
worthy for that spirit. It is so easy, so easy to fall back into the
ways of the world. But with Heavenly Father and Christ, things seem
easy, and those impossible goals seem easy to achieve. I love this
devotional because it gives me hope, and it gives me motivation for
when I'm feeling low. Read it, you won't be disappointed :)
Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us, and he always will. No
matter what you do! That's a fact.
