I had a really great week! I hope you did as well. I am currently writing my emails on a bus, so I left my journal at home... so bear with me as I try to remember my week! I probably will just share some highlights.
This week we started teaching this cute less active family the Naye's. They are from India. The dad, Manoj, is really wanting to work on some things so that he can baptize his 9 year old daughter Ishika. We saw them twice this week. And they are really eager for us to come. It seriously makes me so happy. We are seeing a lot of miracles with this family, and I know we will continue to!
We also were able to get back in contact with Joanna. She has been going through a tough time, so it was really good to see her. She told us that she still really wants to get baptized. So we set another date with her.
We had our zone conference yesterday. Which was so great. With it being a new year the theme was "New Year, New You". So we talked a lot about change. And what we can do to make changes in our lives to come closer to our Savior. It really was exactly what I needed.
This week was great. I think one of the biggest things I learned this week was that we are of divine identity. We are children of the most high God... So why do we so often forget this? Because we all have the natural man in us or a.k.a we are human beings. I think it is good for us to remember that we all have a divine identity. We are all his spirit children that chose to come to this earth to follow him. But more often than not we forget who we are and start making decisions that pull us away from him, and our spirits are dying for us (the human part) to set them free. We all have to make sacrifices and decisions that are not easy. Just as Christ said in the Garden of Gethsemane "not my will, but thine be done", we too will have to sometimes swallow "the bitter cup"... But if we can remember that if we make the harder right choice than the easier wrong choice He will bless us in ways we can't even comprehend, it makes swallowing that cup that much easier. I KNOW that to be true!!
I hope you have a great week. I love you so much! We can do hard things! We got this!
Love,
Sister Lund
