What a week I've had! My first full week with my new companion (from Peru) Hermana Maldonado. She's a very obedient missionary and a hard worker and I can learn a lot from her. This week we've decided to just go for it and extended two baptismal dates and they both accepted! That was really exciting in the first week of a new transfer. It's been a little stressful dissecting our area, but in a good way that leads to increased ability and growth.
Elder Holland came to my mission! Something that he said that I loved was, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." I loved that-- something to ponder on, for sure. The spirit taught me so many things as I had the opportunity to hear from a consecrated servant of the Lord, one of His apostles, a prophet of God! What a neat experience that was. (and yes, each missionary got to shake his hand-- he said it was an interview by the spirit) See if you can find me in the big group picture... here's your clue-- I'm wearing the skirt Sandra made.
Another thing he said that I loved was, "In the gospel of Jesus Christ you get what you want. God respects agency. Satan cannot force you- God will not. So you'll get what you want, and if you'll let Him, something better."It's so true, isn't it? So what do we want? What are we doing to work towards that goal?
It was a memorable week, and I passed my 4 month mark, that's crazy. Time flies when you're having fun! (It's work, but there is JOY in it!) As always, thanks for the love, support & prayers.
Love,
Hermana Miller
