Dear family and friend,
What a week it has been! The Lord truly is pouring out his blessings upon us and I am so happy that I still have this opportunity to be out here still serving the Lord! It truly is a blessing!
I just wanted to share a quick little insight that I had this week while I was reading the Book of Mormon! At the beginning of this week, it was definitely hard to stay positive and I was trying the best I could, but I just felt like Satan was attacking me with by all means necessary. I decided one day to study about the Lord's mercy and how He truly is merciful to those who put their trust in him!
As I was studying I was turned to 2 Nephi 4! And at this time Lehi had just died, Nephi is remembering all his past sins, and Satan is basically just attacking him! But as Nephi was going through this he had a change of heart! And he had the change of heart when he turned to Christ and focused him rather than all the bad things happening in his world!
He said
"28 Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.
29 Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.
30 Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation."
And even though I'm not living a life of sin this scripture spoke to me! I was told that why should I focus on all the negatives of the world, why should I choose how others make me feel, why should I let corona put a damper on my rays of sunlight! I have Christ and I know Christ, and I can be happy no matter the situation! He's everything to me and he's the source of all my happiness and joy and when I build my foundation on him, I have everything!
Also this week has been stocked full of miracles! We are teaching lessons right and left, literally having booked days and I'm loving it!
I hope that you all have a blessed week and I love you!
