Hello!!!
We had a crazy week this week and no time to
proselyte! On Monday afternoon we headed over to Siem Riep and got to
go to the night market and I had my feet eaten by some fish - pretty weird
experience. Then we had zone conference with Elder Muers of the 70 on
Tuesday. It was such an amazing conference and I learned a lot about how to
better work with members and how to better seek inspiration and revelation
through praying with faith and making my prayers more meaningful.
Then we had one day to proselyte and
quickly check up on all our investigators before we took a bus down to Phnom
Penh for MLC. We got to the city around 6 and so I have a couple minutes to go
visit one of my previous investigators from CKM, which was super cool. We
focused a lot on ministering in MLC and about how we can help the mission and
our areas minister more and help serve as the Savior did. I hope to be able to
get this work moving out in Battambang and help the work grow! I got to see all
of my previous companions at MLC, which was super fun! I love them all. Then I
went on an exchange in the city with Sister Her, which was really fun and got
to catch up with Sister Smith.
On the way biking home from our exchange to
the mission home Sister Eckman got smashed between a car and a tuk tuk - luckily
she is okay and didn't get beat up too badly but she definitely isn't used to
all the city traffic. But I am really happy to be back in Battambang and back
proselyting!
Something I really loved studying this week
was in Doctrine and Covenants 42: 61-62" If thou shalt ask, thou shalt
receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest
know the mysteries and peaceable things - that which bringeth joy, that which
bringeth life eternal. Thou shalt ask, and it shall be revealed unto you in
mine own due time.." I know that Heavenly Father truly does want to talk
to us and give us guidance in this life but it is something that we have to
seek for. I always remember mom telling me that we have to pay the price and
put in the work and then we are more prepared to receive guidance and
revelation. But something important to remember is that we need to wait on the
Lord's timing.
P-push
U- until
S- something
S- something
H- happens
It is like taking a huge rock and trying to
push it up a hill we just need to keep pushing keep praying, keep seeking until
something happens. Psalms 27:14 says" Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." I know
that as we are committed for the long haul and continually trust in the Lord we
will receive the answers that we seek and the help that we need.
I love you!!!
