Thursday: I love having personal study everyday. There really is Power in the Book. Something I really loved from my personal study was in Jacob 3:1 " Pray unto him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions". I loved this verse. It really helps me to see that each and everyone of us have afflictions big and small, and sometimes we wish that they can just be taken away. But this verse says that no matter what affliction we have that He WILL console us. Today we went to President Gublers house and we were able to have some training on how to share the gospel in a way that is unique and personal to every person we meet. We really focused on the Holy Ghost, and how we shouldn't be moving on to doctrine until we have established what the Holy Ghost can do for them. People are interested in what the gospel can do for them rather than the doctrine. I love how Elder Bednar, whenever he teaches or has talks he always invites the Holy Ghost to guide us! That's how it should be.
Friday: Somedays are a bit harder than others and today was a harder day. But I am sooooo grateful for my companion, she is my best friend! I love her. She is such a great listener! She asked me a few questions that made me think: 1) do you believe in Christ, and that he can make up the difference, 2) do you believe your loving Heavenly Father would send you down to fail? I love these questions! And I have been able to see on my mission and in my life that Christ truly can make up all the difference, and that our Heavenly really does love us, and he does NOT want us to fail!
Saturday: We met with a new friend today, Diane. She has met with Missionaries before, but said she would like to meet with us again. She is really nice. Hopefully we can keep teaching her! We got a message this morning from Brother Middleton saying that he was able to meet you! I'm really glad it worked out! Hope you liked the "English" package.
Sunday: I love going to church and seeing all of the members in the Welling Ward. Sister Honeycutt and I had the opportunity to teach both the Gospel principles lesson, and the Young Women's lesson. It was nice to be in YW again. I still remember the YW theme!
Monday: we had exchanges with the Orpington sisters. It was so fun. I was with Sister Biesinger. She is from Farmington, Utah. She is way nice. It was really fun to get to know her, and to go visit some members and potentials in their area!
Tuesday: Valentine's Day! Today was a good day. We went to a cafe in Orpington with the sisters to celebrate. Then we traveled home from Orpington. When we got home we walked to Welling and tried by some less actives. No one was home, but it was pretty warm. It was nice to be able to walk and be outside!
This week was a great week. It went really fast. In companionship study Sister Honeycutt shared and insight with me, she said: Is living the Gospel making me happy, or does it feel like a burden or a chore? And I loved this insight. I love the gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my life, because I have the Gospel I have happiness. I am so glad that I have the knowledge of the truth. I know that it is only through the Gospel of Jesus Christ where we can find true happiness. Look for Him, and you will find Eternal Joy. Have a great week! I love you so much! Big hugs! We got this!
Love, Sister Lund
