What a Week

I can't believe I have 1 week left. This past week has been up and down and all around.  We've seen some really great little miracles, got to go on exchange, and faced a bit of opposition with some investigators dropping us, but we don't let it get us down.  Of course, we are sad when people decide not to carry on meeting with us but we must respect their agency and choice.  The seed is planted.  We feel like we've done the best we could.  I love the quote, "Do your best, and the Lord will do the rest." That is so true.

One of the highlights of my week was visiting the Isle of Wight. I went on exchange with Sister Stigant who is an English sister, only been out in the field for 4 weeks now! She's doing great.  I loved working with her!  She helped me recognize all that a mission has taught me and I admired her faith in the Lord and in the work.  We focused on the importance of learning the lessons from Chapter 3 in PMG.  These are my testimony.  Being on my mission has helped me understand the WHY of the gospel and not just go through the motions.  Before my mission, I knew I loved the Lord and His gospel and I knew it made me happy and my family happy, but now I feel much closer with Heavenly Father and know His plan is truly perfect.  I more fully understand the Atonement and the commandments and I know as we trust in Him, He will made of us more than we could ever make of ourselves.  

Scripture of the week: "32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them—even so am I in the midst of you. Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward. Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail... Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not." -D&C 6:32-34, 36, let's be honest, all of D&C 6 is great. :)
