We are all enlisted till the conflict is o'er;
Fighting
for a kingdom, and the world is our foe;
Happy are
we! Happy are we!
Glad to
join the army, we will sing as we go;
We shall
win and wear it by and by
So this hymn
explains my feelings today exactly. I just put some of the lyrics that stand
out. but HAPPY ARE WE to be doing the Lord's work. Seriously, I just am
overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude lately. I LOVE THE MISSION. I
LOVE THE GOSPEL.
This week
was awesome!!! THERESA PASSED HER BAPTISM DATE!!!! SHE WILL BE GETTING BAPTIZED
THIS SATURDAY. I am so proud of her!!!! I have seen such a change in her.
It is amazing!
We had
two exchanges this week. I stayed in the area for both. One I was with
Sister Thao!! I love her. And the other I was with Hermana Heyn. (: It
was great!
We had
our haunted house cleaning for halloween again. It was great. Gotta
love deep cleaning. (: Halloween was fun. (: We had stake conference this
past weekend as well. Both sessions were amazing! I love the word of God
so much.
So this week my scripture
is DyC 84:85 Neither take ye thought
beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds
continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very
hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.
This
scripture helps me remember that I don't need to worry about all my
weaknesses. The Lord will help me, and I will be able to remember
anything I need to remember to share to the people. (:
^^^^^^^^^ you all need to go read this talk.
I read it this week and... wow it's amazing. So that is what I have been
thinking about a lot this week. Grace. He uses an analogy that I
LOVE. Really though, it is amazing. It is amazing to know that we have
already been saved by grace. But... we could have so much more! We
have the Atonement here to use. Why not use it? Christ paid for our
sins because he knows our potential. He knows what we can become.
Well, we should accept his gift. Let grace change you. I love the
gospel so much, and I am so grateful for the atonement. The church is true!!!!!
Have a great week. (:
