Also, found out that my little sister put in her mission papers on my 16th month mark!!! (on March 16th!!!!))) It's crazy awesome!
Also, after emailing today, I have to start My Plan, which is crazy! It's something that we do to help missionaries prepare to go home! It's crazy that we are already getting there! Sisters from my MTC group we've made it this far! Elders, from our MTC group, you keep going! We will cheer for you! You got this! :) <3
This week I've finished Believing Christ by Stephen E Robinson which I would invite everyone to read it! It's the best!!! It helped my testimony grow so much! And I know it will help your testimony grow as well!
Here's a few things that I've found from that book:
# However low we may fall, our Redeemer has already been there, and he went there for the sole purpose of finding and bringing us lost sheep back. (Jesus talking to us) "I know where you are; I've been where you are-and worse than that. I know what you're feeling, for I have felt it. I remember my own pain when I went through it, and my heart aches for you. But I want you back, I'll even carry you back, if you'll let me."
# (poem in the book, us with the Savior)
But why would You do this for me?
Because I love you.
But it doesn't seem fair.
That's right. It's not fair at all-it's merciful.
It is, after all, a gift.
But how can I possibly deserve such a gift?
Don't be silly. You can't. You don't. This gift is offered because I love you and want to help you, not because I owe it to you
But how can I ever repay You?
There you go again. Don't you get it yet? You can't repay me, not you or all the billions
like you. Gifts of this magnitude can never be repaid. For what I've done out of love for you, you can only love me back, and seek to become what I am- a giver of good gifts.
I love you all so much! Never forget that God loves you too! :) I hope that you all have a great week! :) <3
Love forever and always,
