Well what a week :) So grateful for the love of our Savior and His example..........this week at our follow-up training meeting, the thing which President Blickenstaff emphasized the most was kindness, love, and charity. How amazing.......sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in the "work" part and the skills and all.........but what most importantly did the Savior do? He sacrificed for all of us because He loves us. Without love, we truly can't do anything well or really by the Spirit :) The times of my mission when I have loved my companion with all my heart, when we have felt such Heavenly love for investigators and members...real charity.......have been the happiest times of my mission!! and the closest I felt to the Savior :) This week I want to seek a renewed desire for love and charity for all..........to share it, show it, and live it. and that is only possible through the Savior- for He has changed my life forever!
The work is hastening! The members are so wonderful..............they are finding more and more friends who are being prepared by Heavenly Father to hear the Gospel :) We have an Etiquette Dinner for the youth next week the RS is throwing with us to help them also get more excited to bring friends to church!! So grateful for the miracles we see every day!
O and HJM got her Patriarchal Blessing last week! She wrote me and told me all about it :)
A scripture that I love to share after we teach the Plan of Salvation.......
"And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the Atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise."
-Moroni 7:41
O I love this scripture!! These words ring true! Because of Him, we can have hope, we can have faith, we can have joy.......in this life and in the life to come! The greatest joy and hope I have felt in my own life has all come from the changing power of the Atonement. It brightens our lights and we can truly be filled with His love and a fullness of joy! Believe in Him, trust Him, increase your faith in Him, and your days will ring with hope and joy.......for we will see Him again! I love you all so much!!!!! Have an amazing week!!
Love you!
Sister Jarvis
