Fire in Our Bones!!!

Another week gone! Time went fast this week. There has been lots of changes this week! I'll share some with you! It's been a FAB week!!
Thursday: we had MLC (Mission Leadership Conference) today!! It was absolutely fantastic and totally needed. The main focus was on how we are missionaries and we do missionary work for one basic reason... because we love our Savior. The Center of everything is our Savior, so our main motivation for everything in the Gospel is Christ. All things point back to Him. And as we are setting goals and making decisions in life we need to always ask ourselves if Christ would be okay with our choices. President asked us a few questions that really made me think...
Do I really believe in Christ? That I can do all things in Him?
Do I have fire and passion for the work? Am I ready to get out there?
Do I Have fire in my bones about Christ!!!!!!!!
If not...Get on your knees and plead with God to give you this fire.
 I felt the spirit so strong. This year I want to have fire in my bones for Christ! MLC was in Crawley, so we had to stay with the Epsom sisters in their area. We were Albee to do some street contacting in their area, and eat at a Mexican restaurant. It was great!
Friday: We had a very interesting wake up call... (don't be worried mama) we heard this REALLY loud alarm... and I was like "who set that as their alarm... that would be horrible to wake up to". But the alarm kept going off... after about 30 seconds we realized that it was the fire alarm! So we all (there was 8 of us in the flat) started running looking for a fire. Turns out someone left a towel to dry right next to the radiator and it caught on fire. Luckily it wasn't a big fire! It was funny though because one of the sisters yelled "we're on fire... fire in the bones". Haha I just laughed at this experience, because in all situations we are in we can relate it to the gospel. But today we had another leadership conference. And during this conference I made a promise with myself and with the Lord, that I would give my all to Christ this year! I want to work my socks off this year!
Saturday: we had District Leadership Conference. And we just talked about what we learned in MLC. But this evening we had a lesson with Johnpaul. He is making progress! But he's struggling with baptism. It's not the fact that he doesn't want to be baptized, he just wants to make sure if he's baptized that he is a solid member. To me this gives me a lot of hope. Because he hasn't cancelled out baptism!! He is just trying to gain a stronger testimony.
Sunday: we had lunch with P.C. Today. She is always so kind and so funny!! This evening our lesson fell through, so we went to a members house and did a GROW with them. I love helping the members set goals. It always helps them to see what they are doing well already!! Sometimes as members we think we don't do enough, but it's nice to know that we are better than we think we are.
Monday: we met with a lot of members, and we did a lot of contacting!!  Not a whole lot to report.
Tuesday: transfers!! I got my new companion today! Sister Honeycutt is from Herriman, Utah. She has been on her mission for almost 8 months. She is really nice. We did a lot of street contacting, because it is a harvest week, so we are trying to find everyone that we can, we have been able to get about 7 new potentials! So that is great!!! Tonight we had a lesson with Kerri-Anne, and she committed to a baptismal date!! She is golden, she is so prepared.
Even though this week has been full of meetings, it has been such a great week! We have worked really hard. I know that as we have "fire in our bones" for Christ, that miracles WILL come to pass. That when we put Christ first, everything just falls into place! I testify that that is so true! I have found that the only way to live life is with Christ at the helm. When Christ is leading our lives, the journey is so much smoother! Let's have FIRE for Christ!! I love you! Have a great week! We got this!!
Love, Sister Lund
