I love America! 2 Nephi 1 verse 6 through 9!! Another dope week on the mish. Time is winding down! Hit my two year mark this Saturday And another baptism!! Lets go!
So real quick rundown of the week. Monday was P day and we filmed a movie at the ward mission leaders house for a ward activity this Saturday. All the groups in the ward are making a movie from a scene from the book of Mormon and we are doing Ammon and I am Ammon haha! I will try to send it to you when I am done! We taught people this week nothing too crazy. We did service in the middle of some woods again which was dope. We carried logs and moved wood so we got pretty worked! We had my last zone conference so i got to bear my last testimony.
And Then Saturday i had my final interview with president and Nikoline was baptized! She was so stoked! It was awesome! And it was my two year mark which makes things even more crazy! And Elder Jensen was there so that was cool to be together on our two year mark and see how much we have changed from the MTC. Then we took a road trip with Mathius who is going on his mission to Japan soon to stake conference which was way fun! 
Then Sunday Nico and Steffano drove us to stake conference where I got to see Tobi Hendrickson the member which was awesome! Not sure how the new converts are doing but Jonathan is doing good! He will get the priesthood next week i think! And actually way cool story with elder wright! We were teaching Michael Gitte and Daniel and they were going off how they will not give up their money to be married and we planned on throwing down about how we need to make sacrifices to show our faith and obedience but we were both prompted otherwise! We read 3 Nephi 18 about praying with faith in Christ and it be right and it shall be given unto you and promised them if they stop smoking and keep the commandments and pray with all their heart that they will be able to be married and be baptized. And Elder Wright and I were going back and forth and he was speaking way good Danish that I never heard from him before so that was actually pretty incredible to be apart of! And lets go Reid dog and Jace! Lets hope they will remember me haha! And Katelynn looks way FIRE haah! Crazy so many natural disasters are happening.... And ii heard BYU is not too good this year... oh well! And I got my birthday package thank you guys!! I love you guys so much and am stoked to see you bros soon!!!
Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May this definition of faith bless you in your life. Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching for.
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
