Dear Precious Gems,
This week was FULL of Miracles and just as FULL of
opposition. I know this is the Lord's work. We are his children. And Satan
knows this. He is doing all he can every day to tear us down because he knows
of the Goodness we can accomplish and the potential that we each have. I know
that before this life, we all knew each other so well. Because we were all
brothers and sisters before this life. So because of this, Satan knows us so
well. Like our Savior, Jesus Christ. He knows us inside and out and so when we
face adversity, we can know without a doubt we are being tested and tried to
the very last doubt and weakness we have within us.
This week, I saw this. I was a full witness of it. All the
lies of feeling not good enough and making me believe that I couldn't
accomplish the things the Lord needed me to do. But I remember that day when I
was being stretched, I was given the eyes to see that this was Satan and that I
was called of God to do his work here In Albania and right now in my area with Sister D as STLs.
Once I was able to see that, I was able to begin to see that
the Savior was with me. That everything I was going through at this time was
part of his plan for me in his work to become the best child of God I can
become.
The whole experience reminded me of the song, When Faith
Endures:
I will not doubt, I will not fear;
God's love and strength are always near.
His promised gift helps me to find
An inner strength and peace of mind.
I give the Father willingly
My trust, my prayers, humility.
His Spirit guides; his love assures
That fear departs when faith endures.
I testify that all our fears and doubts we have, will depart
as we have faith in our Lord and Savior.
This week one of our lovely investigators was able to be baptized. She has faced a lot
of adversity in getting baptized, but the Lord opened the way for her to be
baptized this weekend. Her testimony that she gave was one of the most sweetest
testimonies I have heard. Something that truly touched me at her baptism was
her relationship with her best friend. She as a member was
there with her all along the way as she was being taught and even gave a talk
about baptism on her special day at her Baptism.
Her testimony was so powerful and the most touching thing
was her closing remark. "We will able to live in the
Celestial Kingdom for all eternity after this life together."
I testify that this is His work. We are the broken vessels
that He brings forth His miracles so that we can all live with our Father in
Heaven again! I testify that I know this to be true. I know that He loves us. I
know that he sent his Son to the earth, so that the way could be open for us to
returning to him.
It is through Our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the light, The
Life, and the Way to returning to our Father.
I know this Christmas season, we can truly gain a deeper
testimony of our Savior that he Lives, as we study more about his life in the
scriptures and in all that he did for us. Something that Sister D and I said in our Zone
Training was that the Savior continually gives and that this Christmas season it can be a gift we can
give to others through service and looking outward.
I know that as we strive to become more like the Savior
every day, we will begin to truly see as He sees.
Thank you so much for all that you do!! Remember, You MATTER
to HIM!
