Miracle Week
Hey everybody!!
Well this past week was pretty great. We went to Buda (Budapest) on P-Day and did an escape room with the assistants (the selfie after we finished pictured above). The setting was a Russian lab in Siberia, so I guess it gave me closure to my reassignment? haha
Wednesday was probably our best day. We met with two of the people we teach. One of them lives in a village and we went out there to see her. She is progressing really well, and when we asked her about baptism she said that she currently doesn't want to be baptized because she wants to come to church more and read more from the Book of Mormon. Well, we couldn't ask for a better excuse! In Sunday school she said that she feels like she has found her place so we're really excited for her. She also has a church member friend who brings her too and from church and who teaches Sunday School!
We went tracting in the village, and found 1 new person to teach, then on the bus back we found another new person to teach, then we went tracting with just an hour left in our day and found two more people to teach, and then we called a person with interest on the way home and set up with him too! We found 10 new people to teach last week, it was great.
On Thursday we had to spend the whole day cleaning up the other apartment because apparently our landlord was mad about the condition... whoops! haha it wasn't bad at all there was nothing in it! we just hadn't done our deep clean yet.
Saturday and Friday we were on splits with the secretaries. I was with elder allred again who I served with in Kecskemét! It was cool. Also our companionship is suffering the plague of Rasputin and Elder McCann got sick on Sturday and Sunday, but we still got to do some work. He's a great guy.
Love you all, have a great week!

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"
