Thank you so much, Sister Bennett, for sending that through my mom. So amazing to think! And Macedonia in that time is what now? I think it is like my whole mission, but I'm not sure. I love when there are specific things about our mission that we find in devotionals and other things .. so cool that it's in the scriptures.
Okay, so 9 weeks in the MTC. 3 General Authorities. How lucky is that?! This week we got to hear from Elder Christofferson on Tuesday and from Elder Ballard yesterday!
So our job as missionaries is to testify of Christ. We have always tried to "center" our lessons on Jesus Christ, but this week was the first time we actually did that. We taught an investigator who honestly was kind of tough at first because she kept saying, "No, we are not children of God." How hard is it to not push beliefs on people but also try to help them feel that love from God and to have that knowledge that He loves all of us because we are His children? Well, anyway, after that lesson we were kind of stumped so on the next, we decided just to teach about Jesus Christ because that's what she said she wanted to know more about. I started by describing the picture from the front of the Rivendosja [Restoration] pamphlet. It's so true that pictures speak a thousand words. Just look at that picture and imagine the love He has for each of his little qengjat. [lambs]
We just testified of all that Christ has gone through and that everything we will ever feel, He has felt. It was so powerful and it was just because we were finally doing our job .. testifying of Jesus Christ.
