Words Matter

Another week in the Hood has gone by so fast! It's hard to believe I've already been on my mission for 2 months. This week we had zone conference where everyone in the mission got together and listened to President and Sister Haymond speak. I learned that God's words and Christ's words must become our words. As we read and memorize His word and place it deep into our hearts, we truly become converted to the gospel. 


Some highlights

- I spoke on Sunday about prayer and learning God's will in the english ward. I had zero time to prepare, but God made up the difference! I opened my mouth and the words just came! It was the coolest experience

- Had another lesson with Diana!! Her faith is so strong and I can tell she already believes everything, she just needs to realize what it is and get her husband on board. 

- Finally met Brother Hokanson who is an absolute icon! He is our ward mission leader and just so so diligent at his calling. We had ice cream and shared a lesson with him this week. 

 - Met with the Stake President and was able to receive a message to share to all of the members about the plan of salvation. I invite all of you guys to read 2 Nephi 2, looking for Christ's role in the plan of happiness. We did this and I have already learned so much more about the plan and how it blesses our lives!


That's all this week everyone! Here's a part of Psalms 23 that my grandma sent me that I want you all to read:

"The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake."

The Lord is your shepherd and as you follow him you will be lead to righteousness, peace and joy!

le amo,

  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...
