I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!!

 

Hello everyone!  

 

I got to go to the temple this week and see my parents!!! So much fun! It was hard to say goodbye again.  I cried a bit, but during the car ride home my mind was preoccupied with what just happened at the temple. SPIRITUAL HIGH! I honestly loved going with my parents and my mission president and his wife. The Oklahoma City temple is small, but it was amazing. 

 

This week I gave a blessing to a man dying of cancer. In the blessing I felt bad as I told him that he was going to die in a very nice way. I felt bad too that I was basically telling his wife that she'd be a soon widow. I cried so much.  The Spirit definitely directed the blessing - the veil was so thin. I wanted to say he would recover, but that's not what I was prompted to say.  

 

Also our lesson with Mike, our potential member, went well. He is now willing to pray and ask if Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. A HUGE step for him. We read the King Follett sermon with him because he is very intellectual. I just love Mike! We also are doing a ton of Facebook finding, and we've had some little success with it so that's good.  

 

Time for Elder Hedrick’s spiritual thought - in the most recent conference President Nelson asked us to strengthen our ability to receive personal revelation. He states, "I renew my plea for you to do whatever it takes to increase your spiritual capacity to receive personal revelation." Then he later states we cannot survive spiritually without personal revelation! Please open your hearts and minds and prepare for the General Conference!  

 

I love you all!
