Ok so newest challenge for us is now we started a 40 day fast. which means-we put things on a list that we feel like we need to change and we are giving them up for the next 40 days. We are trying to put everything we can on the table so that we are worthy to find the people who need to hear our message.
We added to our little paper of things this scripture about the 2000 stripling warriors (got a theme going).
Helaman 15:9 And ye know also that they have buried their weapons of war, and they fear to take them up lest by any means they should sin; yea, ye can see that they fear to sin—for behold they will suffer themselves that they be trodden down and slain by their enemies, and will not lift their swords against them, and this because of their faith in Christ.
So they made a promise with God that they would not go to war again. After they made this oath with God, they would not dare go back on their promise. They did not just set aside their weapons of war but they buried them. So I guess that's what we are trying to do. Bury our "things" so that we can be better consecrated missionaries. If no one ever decides to act on what we are saying, I don't want it to be because I was not worthy. I want to see miracles happen in people's lives.
