Hi cute people of America!
These past 7 have been SUBLIME!
We've been teaching like mad, seeing wild
miracles, exploring the valley, getting kicked out of booshie gated
communities searching for Jbeebs and the KK (kardashian klan), and
having amazing studies with crazy revelation.
Our investigators are doing AMAZING! We have
almost all of them on date so we're just praying really hard and
studying really hard on how to help these people be prepared to take one
step closer to eternal joy.
Something I've realized is how important it is to
know where our heart is. I've been pulling apart talks and zooming into
scriptures and really praying about how to have a genuinely happy
heart, soul, and character and I've found A LOT.
It really comes down to where our heart is.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." ( Matt. 6:21 & 3 Nephi 13:21)
I love 1 Nephi 8 where it talks about Lehi's
dream. Above all of Lehi's desires, he wanted to partake of the fruit
from the tree of life and wanted his WHOLE family to partake also. No
matter how much he begged and pleaded
and bore his testimony, Laman and Lemuel wouldn't come. It says, "He did
exhort them then with all the feelings of a tender parent"; Lehi
brought ALL of his feeling unto their hearts, but that was all he could
do. Laman and Lemuel had to bring those things INTO their hearts in
order to truly believe and be changed.
How relatable is that?
We all have those who
wander in strange paths that we are shouting to come back and grab a
hold of the rod of iron. We all have those we exhort with all our
feelings to partake of God's love, but deny it. We can bring it unto
their hearts, but it's up to them to allow those things INTO their
hearts.
I have confidence that God will always answer the
questions of our heart. Sis Boss and I have realized that when our
investigators "don't get an answer" to their prayers it is because the
question in their minds and the question in their hearts are not the
same. We may tell them to ask if these things are true. We may ask them
to pray for the Lord to help prepare them for their baptism. But if the
question in their heart is whether or not they should stick with their
degree or change their major-- THAT is the question God's going to
answer. So we've been proposing the question, "If you could ask God ONE
question, right now, what would it be??"
And there it is. There's the question in their
heart. and for those that aren't "getting an answer about baptism", the
question in their heart is never about baptism.
So, what's the question of YOUR heart?
If you could ask God ONE question, right now, what would it be?
God truly does answer the questions in our
hearts. God truly is our loving Heavenly Father. And I know God
manifests His love through blessings. That is why He gives us
commandments. They're opportunities for us to progress and opportunities
for Him to shower his love through blessings.
"..the good that you do, will do you no good, unless your heart is right" (the fourth missionary by lawrence corbridge)
I know that we all have the ability to be TRULY happy NOW, when we point our hearts to God.
I love you babes so much and I hope you know that I pray for you every day. I hope you're truly happy :)
LOVE YOU MORE THAN BOBA XOXOXO
