Mountains to Climb

 

November 9, 2020

Hi everyone!  

 

So this week was definitely a month! Went by like a snail stuck in tar that was shot in the face by a tranquilizer dart. Lol. But it was still a good one - not a high member lesson count so sad day. We taught Mike and Dan. Dan is still on track for the 28th of November to be baptized and confirmed! Yay!  

 

We had Zone conference this week, and it was amazing. My mission president said to us, "How can we fail? It's Impossible." He was referring to the prophet and 12 apostles constantly praying for our missionary efforts. The ZLs and STLs gave an amazing training.  

 

Also, God lives.  My companion, who I love - he's amazing, he snores a bit. Last night he was keeping me up with it. I said a prayer, and I asked the Lord to help me get the rest I need. When I finished my prayers, within a couple seconds he shifted to his back and stopped snoring. God is in the details of our lives; you just need to ask sometimes.  

 

Ok here’s my spiritual thought. "Mountains to Climb" by President Eyring is a conference talk that I highly recommend. I listened to it, and when I was done, I asked the Lord for mountains to climb, and surely enough He gave them to me. Lol. Our opposition and hard times make us into what the Lord wants us to become.  Isaiah 40: 31 – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” I know that when we trust in the Lord’s time and endure the hard things of this life faithfully, we will be blessed and comforted by our Heavenly Father and his ministering angels.  

 

Love you all!
