Hello all!
This week has most definitely been crazy. But the amazing, exciting kind of crazy!
Bill and Jill are two newest members of the Farmington ward and they are loving it! But of course there was a couple hiccups in the days leading up to their baptism.
We went and saw them on Friday, the day before their baptism.Before we even started the lesson, Bill dropped some bad news on us. Bill told us that Jill was not being baptized because she had changed her mind, but he said that he would still be baptized. We were all very shocked, and left feeling pretty disheartened.
It just didn't feel right to me.I felt like I could've done so much more. I just felt like a failure. When we got home that night we called some other missionaries to pray for her. I just prayed so hard that she would change her mind, because I knew she was ready. I soon felt a strong sense of peace and comfort, and I knew in that moment, that if I had enough faith, God would give us a miracle!
And He did, of course!! I Love the Lord so much, and it never ceases to amaze me how much He cares for us. He desires to bless us, and we just have to trust Him.
This week I was sick for a big part of it, but I had a lot of time to ponder about the upcoming Easter season. I read a lot about the Savior in the scriptures and I became so filled with His love. I know He loves me and wants to take away all the pain I have in this life. He wants me to be happy, and by following Him I am happier than I have ever been. Alma said it best:
-Alma 26:37
So two things to remember. Heavenly Father loves you and wants to bless you, he will help you find happiness. Second: Ask for miracles, and they will come!
LOTSA LOVE!
