We got to Skype our families and open lots of presents and say Merry Christmas to every one and give out candy! This week was a week of FINDING & more FINDING, but not much came from it. We had to tap out a few nights, just a little early. But that's Area book finding was actually needed in those times so it actually was productive! Sister Kay, my Companion, told me around the 4th transfer is when she started noticing her body wearing down on her. And hey look... 4th transfer, here we are! Just trying to stretch more and run more to work through It! We ran about everyday but Sunday, of course, this past week! And stretched every muscle and doing head stands while we were at it! Quite fun!
I finished the Book of Mormon today! Oh how fun was that! I had been a few days behind from early morning meetings we have had the past few months, but I finished it on time, by the seat of my pants... Haha.
We have been working mainly with Savanah and Sarah recently, they are the ones who are on date for baptism in January!
For the new year I have been thinking about the best thing I could do to become a better teacher! I love from the Book of Mormon, Morni 8:16 "...Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear."
And in verse 26 "And the remission of sins bringeth meekness, and lowliness of heart; and because of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of the Holy Ghost, which Comforter filleth with hope and perfect love, which love endureth by diligence unto prayer, until the end shall come, when all the saints shall dwell with God"
So as we repent and change ourselves for God we are able to have the perfect love, which is Charity and with Charity, meekness can come afterwards! So for the Next year I am trying to have the motivating force be because of love and I can only love as I repent and willing to love myself and God! In chapter 9:5 It talks about when the Nephites and Lamanites murder each other... "5.and they have lost their love, one towards another."
Never loose love. Repent Repent Repent.
Heleman 15:3 "...for behold, they have been a chosen people of the Lord; yea, the people of Nephi hath he loved, and also hath he chastened them.."
The plan is about love, my brothers and sisters, love others as He loves you and you will find to be serving others more frequently!
May the Pure Love of Christ bless you life and start anew this next year!
Happy New Year!
Always Love,
Sister Chaffin
