Sister Benson: 7/4/22

Hello my wonderful people!! This week was full of ups and downs, as missionary life usually is. We delt with many sad misuses of Gods divine gift of agency this week. But we had some good lessons. As of this week we are no longer teaching Michelel, which is really sad. But we did have an awesome lesson with our friend David about the Plan of Salvation that went super well! Please pray for the work to move forward in the Gainesville 2nd ward area, we're at a little bit of a standstill haha, and we could use it!! 


Today is the 4th of July! How grateful I am to live in this beautiful country. With its mountains (that I miss) and its swamps (that I seem to be surrounded by). I am so grateful that God created this country so that the Restoration of the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ could start. So that young Joseph Smith COULD ask his question. So that the Book of Mormon-- which is the word of God-- could be published. God lives! And He guides us as his church. Hopefully the world will start letting Him guide them too ❤️


Today sister doxey and I are getting together with our district and doing a 4th of july barbecue!! We're pretty stoked about it :)) I'll probably send pictures of it next week!!! 


Love yall!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
