Hey everyone I have about two seconds to write a group email this week so I just wanted to share a quick scripture with you! Alma 29 I love this chapter and how it fit the theme of gratitude ever so perfectly for me this week. In this chapter Alma talks about how He wishes he could be this or do that but then says "But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my wish; for I ought to be content with the things the lord hath allotted unto me..I ought not to harrow up in my desires.." Isn't that the truest thing? I can definitely say I catch myself getting caught up in the things I wish I could be or the things I wish I could do rather than be thankful for who I am and what I can do. Of course we can always progress but I love what alma says.. Be happy with what the Lord has given you. Be thankful I am overwhelmed with gratitude this week! So much has happened and I am jumping for joy every day!!! The lords work is real!! Everyone : well, duh! Our investigators just keep getting one step closer to baptism! We got one investigator from the elders. They told us to try him out because he has been taught for 14 years and there hasn't been any progress. So we went over and started with his kids. They literally knew nothing about Jesus Christ! Nothing! It was crazy for me! So anyway we taught them about Jesus and ever since there has been miracle upon miracle. Usually the mom is always working or milo (our investigator) sets up appointments when she wouldn't be there she doesn't freak out. So this week we went on over and she was there!!!! Which was amazing for us! We sat down and chit chatted over milk and bread and ended so getting her to watch a Mormon message with us! When the video was over she was in tears and after..She got to watch all three of her little kids pray!! She wiped her tears and told us she was so happy! And the best part is they invited over for thanksgiving!! ITS A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!
I'm thankful for all you and your support! I can feel your love all the way here in NY!
I love you all!! Happy thanksgiving!!!!!
