Happy New Year everyone!!:)
So this week I learned that if you pray for trials and
opportunities to grow...you sure will get them!! Haha!! It's kind of been an
inside joke between my companion and I... every time something doesn't go right
(which has been a lot this week) she would say, "Dang it why did you pray
for trials?!?!" Haha it is so funny! But we have been able to grow so
much! This week has probably been the hardest so far, everything fell through
and everyone cancelled but it taught us an important lesson. Patience is key in
missionary work. Preach My Gospel says, "Patience is the capacity to endure
delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated, or
anxious. It is the ability to do God’s will and accept His timing. When you are
patient, you hold up under pressure and are able to face adversity calmly and
hopefully. Patience is related to hope and faith--you must wait for the Lord’s
promised blessings to be fulfilled. You need patience in your everyday
experiences and relationships, especially with your companion. You must be
patient with all people, yourself included, as you work to overcome faults and
weaknesses." Praying for trials to grow was definitely risky but definitely
helped us grow and become stronger!! I highly recommend doing this. And I know
as you do so, you will become the person God wants you to be! Trials mold you
and shape you! It reminded me that if we look for the Lord's hand in our life,
we will find it. We will be taught what we need next, we just have to trust
that the guidance will come.
HEY IT'S A NEW YEAR!!! There is an awesome Mormon message
that is called "Look Not Behind Thee". It is so neat and I encourage
all of you to watch it!! It's a new year! We all have a fresh start! Anyone can choose to forget the past and just
move forward! Forgive and forget!
Let's move forward in the best way we can! Resolute means
heading in a direction with purpose! So make a New Years resolution that will
help you move forward with direction and purpose! ALL these resolutions are
possible because of the atonement of Jesus Christ! He makes New Years
resolutions possible. Faith in Jesus Christ gives us strength to leave the past
behind and look ahead to a brighter future. I love you all and look forward
with an eye of faith, not behind worrying about the past! Search diligently,
pray always, and believe.
Love, Sister Freeman
