Can’t believe its still sunny, this is a
miracle everyone!
This week has been so great and so fast!
I gave a talk in sacrament on choices and how we are all faced with difficult
choices and we don't always know which path to take, but if we are doing what’s
right our loving Heavenly Father will never lead us astray. I shared from conference when President
Monsen said to take the harder right instead of the easier wrong. We need to follow that counsel because
the right decision might not always be easy but when we put our trust in the Lord
we can know everything will be okay. He will always provide a way for us to
accomplish the things He asks. ‘I will go and do the things which the Lord hath
commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unot the children of
men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing
which he commandeth them.’(1Nephi 3:7) I am so thankful I am not alone on
this journey!!!
We were teaching one of our Chinese
investigators who we hadn't seen for a couple weeks and we taught him about the10
commandments and the Sabbath day. As we were talking, he asked, “what do I need
to do to be baptized?” Me and sister pro just looked at each other and of
course told him, but we were freaking out inside! We didn’t think he wanted to be or anything, it was so
cool! So we are preparing him to
be baptized and hopefully he will continue to progress!
We fasted again for A’s visa and we get
a call from him later during the day and he told us his friend got his visa
which is hilarious. We just had to laugh and wonder why things happen the way
they do. But God has a plan for each of us!!! Just put your trust in him! Hopefully
it will come soon!
Only 3 weeks left in the transfer which
is crazy! Missions are awesome but
hard and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. There are times when I
still have doubts, but those are just from Satan. He always tries to get us to think we aren’t good enough and that
there is no point in choosing the right. But when we choose the right we can
always be happy :) Thank you for the advice about not letting Satan get to me. I
need to remember those are not thoughts from God.
That is what I am working on this week,
to be happy all the time. I’ll letcha know how it goes ;)
Heavenly Father wants us to be happy
and it is a choice! We just need
to choose to be happy, so this week I am choosing to be happy and enjoy even
the hard days.
Teaching is going good, there are
still lots of things to improve on but this week I realized I am going to be
happy and focus on serving the Lord. thank you for reminding me that we don’t
just teach the lessons but we are here to be a light to people too.
xoxoxox
hope all of you have a great week! love
and miss you all!
love, sister stevens
