Have you ever wondered why we say "good morning"?
It is so we start our day off with positivity so that we can conquer the day! :) haha
I've been putting negative thoughts out of my head this week and striving to change them to a positive and extra optimistic to keep Sister Wood and I both going! The end of this week was sooo rough! I swear from Friday to Sunday is when everything happens!
We had Zone Conference Friday and every time we see President Caplin, there is revelation I need to get from him! From God essentially. But no matter the day, he is my President and he gives me the orders so that I can be successful, and be a consecrated Missionary to the Lord! He gives me revelation from God to me! What's really awesome is that I gained much revelation while at that Zone Conference and my head hurt for the next 3 days from trying and pushing forth to being completely be lead by the spirit! That night after Zone Conference we put 2 people on date for baptism and adjusted the date for another one that is already planned for baptism! The work keeps flying and we strive to baptize monthly here! :) I've never testified so much of promised blessings within 3 days of teaching! I know this work is the most important work we can be doing on this earth! The Gathering of Israel is happening among us today, people!! I pray that it can take properly in all your lives! We see the promise of the Lord being fulfilled continually!!
There is now going to be a Ghanaian program here of missionaries and hopefully then a ward of Ghanaians! How amazing! Anyone speak Twi?? Haha but what is really cool is that there are now companionship's of half English half Español! Sooo we as a companionship asked President if we could practice a little Spanish and he said of course!! We got 2 people's numbers yesterday from memorizing four phrases!! I am more than excited to start praying and contacting in Spanish. The Goal is so that I can teach in Spanish, but that's still in the making.. No hablo mucho Español. Haha!
The topics of my studies have been crazy, I've been reading in the institute manual with the Book of Mormon and I've been reading 2 Nephi 2 all this week! There is so much in it! Its amazing! But the Highlight of my studies have been directing the talk "Consecrate Thy Performance" by Neal A. Mawxell!! WOW! I really recommend this talk! He gets deep! I'll share some of my favorite quotes!
"Having our will increasingly swallowed up by the will of the Father actually means an enhanced individuality, stretched and more capable of receiving "all that (God) hath" (D&C 84:39). Besides, how could we be entrusted with His "all" until our wills are much more like His? Nor could His "all" be fully appreciated by the partially committed.
...Frankly, it is our prospective selves we betray by holding back whatever the "part." No need therefore to ask, 'Lord is it I?' (Matthew 26:22) Rather, let us inquire about our individual stumbling blocks, 'Lord, is it this?' We may have known the answer for a long time and may need resolve more than His response." Neal A. Maxwell ("Consecrate Thy Performances" --General Conference address May 2002))
Keep building your Faith, Always.
Always Love!
