Hey Y'all!
This week:
- The LBRM got Smartphones! So if you see me on FB don't be alarmed!
-we met a dog named Thunder Dinosaur
-we ate dirty rice (rice with liver) and spaghetti sauce with bbq sauce in it.
-i went on my 6th exchange to LSU and FINALLY saw Mike the Tiger. We taught this girl, who is unreal! She hadn't been taught the word of wisdom yet but she found out about it and literally dumped her entire gallon of tea down the sink. She was the one who literally ran to the missionaries first. And she is killing it on her Book of Mormon reading. We went to teach her the Plan of Salvation and she literally just taught us. What. She is amazing.
- we had stake conference and I got to sit next to my recent convert! I love her and i got to see the Johnsons! They are a family from New Iberia that I haven't seen since I was transferred! (They have the bilingual chirren)
- we went to see our investigator and we saw that the side of her house was slightly melted and that her shed was charred. She invited us in and told us that her shed burned down in the middle of the night because of electrical issues. She said that it caught the fireworks and set them off but that's what woke her up so she could stop it before it got to her house! She said the closing prayer and she said she knew that Heavenly Father sent us to her! Eek!
- I went to my first Mardi Gras parade!!!! It was sooo much fun! I caught so many beads my neck was sore for a week! It was cold and raining but still so fun! I also caught a giant toothbrush and a baton that probably could've killed me if I didn't catch it. MARDI GRAS IS THE BEST!
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! 💜💚💛

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"
