Hello
Everyone! That is so sad about Grandma Brown and I am still shocked. She was an awesome grandma for sure! Definitely she had a lot of love for people. I am going to miss her a lot. It is so sad to think she is gone. And so happy to think we will see her again.
This week was good, my last in Bynum Run! We had some sweet lessons
with the investigators! Mike came to Winters Run baptism so that was awesome!
And we had a sweet lesson with him! We picked a lady from Ghana who is way
cool, Luna. Picked a guy up from Congo. He is awesome, Sam. And then we picked
up a couple of guys Ray, Jayden and their friend Keysha. Haha they were sweet.
Keysha is super Christian black lady who did not like us at the start. She
thought we were like a cult or something. But over time she loved us and gave
us each a lucky rock! haha Also we had a good lesson with Alex. Larry is
tonight so we are going to talk with him. Denise and her daughter are on
Wednesday so I won't be able to be there for that. But they are super solid. I
am going to miss all our investigators and members soo much. And Elder Hadley,
he is so sweet and I have loved being with him. I will be saying bye to all the
peeps tonight and tomorrow. Sad times.
I
am going to Carlisle Pennsylvania! I am way excited. It is the most northern
part of the mission. It is a big area but we share it with some sisters. We
also share a car with them. I have heard it is a cool area. I will have to get
used to it but for the most part I am pretty excited. I will be with Elder
Beardall who has been there for 4 months. I will be the district leader there.
I will get there on Wednesday and have to learn everything again! WOO! It
should be good. Hope everyone has a good week this week.
Love
you all,
Mac
Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May the definition of faith bless you in life Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching for.
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
