Hello family!
Well this week has been a very great week. We started off with p-day last week, we didn't do anything really just went to the hmong market and hung out. So it was a pretty boring p-day but anyway the rest of the week was great! We had allot of success this week, we met some new people they are really awesome and amazing! One is a single mom with 4 daughters and they came to church this past Sunday and loved it. We are so excited to be working with them and getting them in the water! :) They are currently going to a different church but that's okay!
This Saturday the Minneapolis Elder's had a baptism. It was a single mom with her 3 daughters. It was a great day to see them all get baptized as well. They are a funny group of people.
It was exhausting to do all their baptismal interviews....I did about 6 of them in one week so it was a crazy week haha! I just can't believe how much trust God puts in us missionaries.... interviewing people to enter into his fold and to make sure they are worthy, that's allot of trust to a 20 year old kid. But it is amazing to feel the Spirit work through you and to lead and guide you through that process!
That has been the best thing and the thing I love most about my mission.....feeling the Spirit or Gods power work through me. It has brought me so much joy even when I have the worst of worst days the thing that keeps me going is feeling the Spirit and knowing I'm doing the will of my Father in Heaven.
I have often thought, how we know the will of the Father? I always asked to know it but I always felt like it wasn't clear to me or that God just didn't want me to know, but I have come to know now that it is living the gospel of Jesus Christ that is what our Father in Heaven wants for us, it's why we are here....to live his will. The greatest peace and joy is when the Spirit directs our paths because that is God telling us we are doing his will. I know that as we lay hold of every good thing and as we take every prompting of the Holy Spirit and act upon them, then we have accomplished our purpose here in life.
I also have thought a great deal about the prophet Mormon, as we read in Moroni we hear about a couple letters that he sends to his son Moroni, he says that he is yet alive and he writes these letters to Moroni which are prolific and inspiring. I often thought of that phrase that he says
"i am yet Alive" I am so grateful to be alive and doing the will of my Father, I often time forget in my morning prayers to thank God for giving me another day to do his work. But most important to partake of the blessing of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I relate the phrase "I am yet alive" from Mormon to what the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15: 22 "
For as in a all b, even so in c shall all be made d."
